AI Reshapes Security Architecture at RSAC 2026 Conference

Posted by Jeff Orr on 16 April 2026

Artificial intelligence (AI) just became the operating system for enterprise security. That was the clearest signal coming out of the RSAC 2026 Conference, and it materially changes how CIOs and CISOs should evaluate security platforms, operating models and investment priorities over the next 12–24 months. RSAC 2026 Conference reflects a structural shift in how cybersecurity is designed and... Read More

A Practical Enterprise Playbook to Integrating NHI with IAM/PAM

Posted by Jeff Orr on 28 October 2025

Enterprises with established Identity Access Management and Privileged Access Management must extend governance to non-human identities to protect APIs, services, automation and agentic AI. Effective evaluation of NHI security software hinges on risk-driven prioritization, integration fidelity and measurable outcomes. CIOs, CISOs and IT leaders should align the identity strategy with enterprise... Read More

Dedicated NHI Security Software: The Enterprise Need

Posted by Jeff Orr on 22 October 2025

Enterprises are accelerating digital initiatives powered by APIs, services, IoT and agentic artificial intelligence (AI), expanding non-human identity (NHI) risk faster than legacy Identity Access Management (IAM) and Privileged Access Management (PAM) can govern. CIOs, CISOs and IT leaders need an identity strategy that treats NHIs as first-class identities, integrates with IAM/PAM and advances... Read More

Accelerating ZTNA Goals with PAM

Posted by Jeff Orr on 31 July 2025

The shift toward a Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) framework is a strategic move for enterprises aiming for an enhanced security posture. ZTNA operates on the principle of "never trust, always verify," ensuring that every user and device is authenticated and authorized before accessing resources. In this context, Privileged Access Management (PAM) emerges as a critical enabler for an effective... Read More

Why Cybersecurity Maturity is Critical After RSAC 2025 Conference

Posted by Jeff Orr on 23 July 2025

The annual RSAC Conference took place in late April in San Francisco, where over 40,000 professionals from the cybersecurity industry converged at the Moscone Center to discuss the latest trends, products and services aimed at threat identification and organizational security. I last attended the RSAC Conference in 2020, just weeks before the world was instructed to stay home in response to the... Read More
