Next-Gen PAM: Automating Privileged Access for Operational Risk in Hybrid Clouds

On this session we will explore how a modern, automation-first approach to Privileged Access Management (PAM) eliminates "standing privileges" and reduces the attack surface. We will dive into the shift from static password vaulting to dynamic, Just-in-Time (JIT) access, demonstrating how security teams can maintain operational velocity without sacrificing compliance. Join us to learn how to bridge the visibility gap across hybrid environments and implement a zero-standing-privilege architecture that scales with your business.

By the end of this session, attendees will be able to:

• Deconstruct Hybrid Vulnerabilities: Identify the unique operational risks and "identity sprawl" challenges associated with managing privileged accounts across multi-cloud and legacy environments.
• Implement Just-in-Time (JIT) Workflows: Define the technical requirements for transitioning from permanent administrative accounts to ephemeral, time-bound access models.
• Automate Compliance Reporting: Leverage automated discovery and session logging to satisfy audit requirements for HIPAA, SOC2, and GDPR without manual intervention.
• Optimize Operational Velocity: Evaluate strategies to integrate PAM directly into CI/CD pipelines, ensuring security protocols enhance rather than hinder DevOps workflows.
