Identity Access Management

Privileged access management (PAM) systems were designed for human use cases: controlling which human administrators can access critical systems, enforcing approval workflows for sensitive operations, and logging all administrative activity.…

Microsoft’s latest Entra Identity updates signal the enterprise identity market’s shift toward agentic workloads. The additions—enhanced managed identity capabilities, improved service-to-service authentication, and refined API permission scoping—reflect a critical realization:…

API keys and shared secrets are the weakest link in agentic identity infrastructure. These static credentials—long-lived, difficult to rotate, shared across multiple systems—create massive blast radius risks when compromised. Private…

The speed differential between human decision-making and machine execution is creating a fundamental security asymmetry. AI agents can authenticate, request resources, execute actions, and cover their tracks in milliseconds—far faster…

The identity access management (IAM) industry has spent decades perfecting systems designed for one fundamental assumption: human users accessing enterprise resources on human timescales. But this assumption is collapsing as…

Privileged access management (PAM) was designed for the terminal era. A system administrator connects to a server, executes commands, and auditors record the session. This model worked because: (1) access…

Enterprise IAM has reached an inflection point. For decades, identity management meant human identity: directory services, password policies, role-based access. But the enterprise landscape is fragmenting. Microservices, cloud APIs, containerized…

Machine identity management is not optional. It’s foundational. Yet the industry consensus on machine identity implementation has shifted dramatically, and organizations still deploying keys across environments are falling dangerously behind.…

The promise of autonomous agents is transformative: systems that operate 24/7, make decisions at machine velocity, and scale without proportional human overhead. But this promise carries a profound cost—agents operating…

The identity and access management (IAM) ecosystem was designed for a fundamentally different era—one where humans sat at keyboards, authenticated once per session, and operated within defined boundaries. But that…

AppViewX, a leading provider of machine identity and access management solutions, announced the acquisition of Eos—a strategic move that underscores the growing convergence between identity security and AI agent governance.…

A newly released identity exposure report from SpyCloud reveals a troubling trend: non-human identity theft is accelerating at an unprecedented pace. The 2026 report documents a massive explosion in compromised…
