Saviynt embeds AI at the heart of identity security

NITIN VARMA
SVP AND MANAGING DIRECTOR - INDIA & SAARC, SAVIYNT

“At Saviynt, we are embedding AI and ML deeply into our identity security platform so that identity itself becomes the first line of defence against advanced threats such as zero-day attacks. As threat actors move rapidly in India’s fast-evolving digital landscape, we continuously monitor access behaviour across human and non-human identities, including APIs, bots, and service accounts. By establishing behavioural baselines and using anomaly detection, our system flags privilege escalations and zero-day patterns in real time. Through predictive analytics, we not only detect but also forecast risks at the identity level before a breach occurs. When a potential threat is validated, AI-driven automation orchestrates containment by revoking or verifying access, triggering workflows, and alerting the security team almost instantly.

We also place strong emphasis on balancing AI innovation with privacy, ethics, and regulatory compliance. Guided by frameworks such as the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and CERT-In guidelines, we embed responsible AI principles—transparency, fairness, and accountability—into our platform. Every automated decision is traceable, auditable, and explainable, with human oversight for sensitive actions. Collaboration remains key to building resilience. We work with cloud providers, system integrators, academia, and industry forums to ensure identity security aligns with real-world compliance, regulatory nuances, and innovation. We also engage with policy bodies and research institutions to advance responsible AI and strengthen ecosystem readiness. Ultimately, we believe ethical, transparent, and identity-centric AI is essential to building trust and ensuring secure digital growth in India.”
