PAM for 2026: AI Identity Control, VPN-Free Access & Zero Standing Privileges

As security teams dive head-first into the new year, locking down privileged access remains a top priority. Attackers are zeroing in on remote access gaps and exposed credentials, making strong access controls, auditing, and credential hygiene more important than ever.

Watch the 30-minute Tech Talk to know first-hand how BeyondTrust’s Privileged Remote Access (PRA) and Password Safe work together as a PASM solution to secure every privileged connection and credential across employees, contractors, and third parties and the growing volume of AI driven nonhuman identities.

In this session, BeyondTrust’s Principal Solutions Architect Jason Silva, demonstrated how:

• Privileged Remote Access delivers identity-secured, just-in-time access - no VPN needed

• Password Safe auto-rotates and injects credentials to eliminate standing privilege

• You can unify workflows for RDP/SSH access, credential checkout, monitoring, and approvals

• Identity Security Insights provides unified visibility and analytics across all privileged access

• Our AI agent discovery maps and manages the fast-growing ecosystem of non-human identities

If your 2026 goals include stronger access security and smoother audits, this session will give you the clarity and direction to take your next steps with confidence.
