Privileged Access Management (PAM) - Market Overview [Intermediate]

11:00—11:20

Privileged Access Management (PAM) is entering a decisive phase of transformation. The latest 2026 KuppingerCole Leadership Compass reveals how cloud infrastructure, DevOps automation, and machine-driven access are reshaping what “privileged” really means. This session looks beyond traditional PAM to examine how privileged actions now span humans and machines across servers, endpoints, cloud platforms, workloads, and more.

This session will explore how leading PAM vendors are responding to this shift through automation, just-in-time access, cloud entitlement controls, and deeper integration with machine and workload access models. Attendees will gain practical insight into which capabilities remain foundational, which innovations are shaping the future of PAM, and how to future-proof PAM investments in complex hybrid and cloud-native environments.

The factory of the future is a data center with things coming out. Electricity generation, transmission, and distribution will be an orchestrated, distributed network of nodes and graphs balancing the grid at 50 hertz. Two things will not change: the primacy of physical safety in these systems, and the economic and social cost of unplanned downtime.

The changing global order has elevated innovation, agility, and resilience from sources of competitive advantage for companies to matters of European national security. Our compliance framework is being challenged to prove its value as an enabler of necessary transformation.

This session focuses on the tension between digitization, safety, and compliance faced by organizations whose value creation is based on physical production processes. We will examine the role of cybersecurity in brownfield and greenfield production systems, and in particular the value of modern privileged access management for both human and non-human identities in improving uptime, productivity, and the end-user experience.

is herz not capitalised

The unit is written as hertz with a lowercase h when spelled out.

So:

50 hertz ✅
50 Hertz ❌

However, the abbreviation is capitalized:

50 Hz ✅

The unit is named after Heinrich Hertz, but SI unit names are lowercase when written in full.
