The Modern Privileged Identity Map
A visual guide to four identity populations that hold privileged access today.
About the Guide
Most PAM programs were built around a single assumption: privileged access belongs to human administrators. Today, privileged access spans privileged human users, service accounts and non-human users, cloud infrastructure and ephemeral workloads, and AI agents.
While each population introduces unique risks, the underlying challenge is often the same: access persists longer than it should.
This one-page guide helps security leaders understand how privileged identities have evolved and why traditional PAM approaches struggle to keep pace.
In this guide, you will:
- Understand the four privileged identity populations.
- Learn how privileged access manifests across humans, non-humans, cloud infrastructure, and AI agents.
- See the common patterns that create standing privilege.
- Learn how to extend PAM beyond human identities.
