Identity Access Management

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…

Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions have long been a cornerstone of enterprise security, but they were architected for a world of human administrators accessing servers and databases during business hours.…

Machine identity management is undergoing a fundamental evolution. Private Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is emerging as the foundational technology for securing non-human identity at scale. Unlike traditional public PKI designed…

Modern identity and access management systems were designed with a fundamental assumption: human users would be the primary actors interacting with organizational systems. But the rapid proliferation of AI agents—autonomous…

Cisco’s recent announcement of Duo Agentic Identity signals a major industry pivot: enterprise security vendors are now building products explicitly designed for non-human identity management. Duo Agentic Identity extends Cisco’s…

The machine identity attack surface extends far beyond the traditional perimeter. While organizations spend billions defending against human-targeted attacks (phishing, compromised credentials, insider threats), AI agents and automated systems introduce…
