The company launched 'Zuma', an enterprise identity security platform designed to discover, govern, and secure AI agents, LLMs, and non-human identities.

Zuma provides real-time, runtime authorization and visibility to prevent privilege misuse from autonomous digital workers.

As South African enterprises across banking, retail, and telecom rapidly integrate AI to automate operations, they face heightened POPIA compliance and cybersecurity risks.

Legacy identity access management tools struggle to track autonomous digital workers, leaving a blind spot for local CISOs.

Saviynt's focus on non-human identity governance addresses these emerging threat vectors, providing a template for securing machine-speed transactions within SA's highly regulated financial services ecosystem.
