EMEA Tech Talk Tuesday: Beyond the Endpoint

Privilege used to sit at the endpoint: admin accounts, local credentials, and server access that privileged access management (PAM) was built to control. As organizations move infrastructure to the cloud and adopt software as a service (SaaS) at scale, privilege has expanded well beyond that perimeter. Standing permissions across infrastructure as a service (IaaS), SaaS applications, and non-human and AI-driven workloads are now the fastest-growing area of identity risk, and most of it is invisible to controls scoped to the endpoint and the vault.

This session shows how to extend the privilege discipline you already apply to endpoints into the cloud to eliminate high risk standing access with just-in-time (JIT) provisioning. We'll do it through Entitle, the cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM) capability on the BeyondTrust Pathfinder platform, which discovers, right-sizes, and grants cloud access on demand, then revokes it automatically when it's no longer needed.

We'll cover:

• How privilege has expanded beyond endpoints into cloud infrastructure, SaaS, and AI-driven processes
• How standing access in cloud and SaaS creates risk that traditional PAM tools cannot see or control
• How to assess your organisation's maturity across the endpoint-to-cloud privilege spectrum
• How just-in-time access eliminates standing permissions without disrupting user workflows

You'll see how cloud entitlements can be discovered, visualised, and right-sized in real time, with access provisioned just-in-time and automatically revoked when no longer needed. Expect a practical session with clear takeaways for teams looking to extend their privileged access strategy into the cloud.

Who should attend:

• Security and IAM teams with existing PAM programmes: looking to understand where privilege risk has expanded into cloud and SaaS environments
• Organisations mid-way through their identity security maturity journey: looking to extend controls beyond endpoints without disrupting cloud operations
• Cloud and DevOps teams: looking to reduce standing access and enforce least privilege across multicloud and SaaS platforms
