From Wild West to Zero-Touch Production: How privileged access management has evolved and what comes next

The identity security market has become an acronym factory. Every year a new category is brought to market — IAM, IGA, PAM, CIEM, ITDR, ISPM, and now even NHIs and agentic identities — while CISOs are left wondering which ones actually matter. Complexity might make vendors happy, but it rarely makes organizations safer. The truth is that identity security isn't about putting every acronym on your roadmap. It's about anchoring on a clear foundation - one that hasn't changed - and then extending it to handle today's reality: hybrid cloud, ephemeral infrastructure, non-human identities and agentic AI. That's where most programs are falling short. Founder and CEO of P0 Security, Shashwat Sehgal will cut through the noise and share a first-principles framework for building the modern identity security and governance program that is both simplified and future-proof. If your team has identity tool fatigue, start here with resetting the conversation.
