The privileged access management (PAM) market is undergoing a significant evolution as AI-driven automation reshapes how organizations manage and govern privileged credentials, session monitoring, and just-in-time access controls. The analysis examines how leading PAM vendors are integrating AI capabilities to reduce manual overhead, detect anomalous privileged activity in real time, and adapt access policies dynamically in response to changing risk context.

Some investments start with a market map. Others start with a product demo.

As organizations modernize the software development lifecycle to support rapid deployment and cloud native workflows, traditional IAM frameworks often struggle to keep pace with the growing complexity of developer tools, service accounts and temporary privilege needs.

Eclypsium CEO Yuriy Bulygin argues that network edge devices — firewalls, VPNs, and load balancers — have quietly become the enterprise's most exploited and least monitored attack surface, with edge vulnerability exploitation surging nearly eightfold year-over-year. He outlines four steps security leaders must take now: adopt continuous third-party monitoring, build deep firmware and component inventories, prioritize aggressive patching, and elevate edge infrastructure risk into enterprise-level strategy.

This Google Cloud Security Podcast episode examines the security implications of agentic AI systems that can take autonomous actions — not just provide answers — creating new risks around unauthorized data access, privilege escalation, and shadow IT at machine speed. Security experts discuss practical strategies for governing AI agents in enterprise environments, including authentication, authorization, and audit logging for non-human identities.
