“This isn’t just consolidation — it fills a real gap in dynamic, risk-aware authorization,” said Meng Liu, senior analyst at Forrester. “As AI agents and insider threats rise, static IAM is no longer enough.”
The approach differs from traditional identity and access management, which typically authenticates users at login and relies on periodic access reviews. SGNL evaluates access continuously, revoking privileges immediately when conditions change. For instance, if CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform detects suspicious endpoint activity.
“SGNL offers continuous, contextual authorization that can make split-second decisions based on real-time signals, something traditional IAM systems have struggled with,” said Apeksha Kaushik, principal analyst at Gartner. Gartner predicts that by 2028, 25% of enterprise breaches will be traced to AI agent abuse from both external and malicious internal actors.
