Privileged Access in the Age of AI
Access to critical systems and data is essential not only for administrators but also for applications, services, and AI agents. For organizations, this means managing more accounts, secrets, and privileges across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments.
Idira by Palo Alto Networks is advancing modern PAM by combining vaulted privileged credential protection, secrets management, and a Zero Standing Privileges model. Under this model, permissions are granted for a specific task and revoked when the task is complete or the authorized period ends.
As part of Palo Alto Networks, Idira (CyberArk) complements its extensive PAM experience with threat detection and response capabilities, AI security, and Unit 42 threat intelligence. Together, these capabilities provide a foundation for comprehensive privileged access control across modern IT infrastructure.
