Launched March 2026.

Platform capability for governing identity access in hybrid multi-cloud environments. Provides automated provisioning via self-serve access requests governed by a context-based policy engine, centralized management of distributed cloud resources, privilege sprawl prevention, AI-powered right-sizing recommendations, and continuous access auditing with automated Access Review reports. Targets security and identity teams managing growing numbers of identities and cloud resources.

Foundational module securing privileged access to on-premises and hybrid infrastructure including databases, Kubernetes, compute, and more. Combines account vaulting, MFA-enforced access requests, and dynamic guardrails to enforce zero standing privileges at the infrastructure layer. Every session is passwordless, logged, and fully auditable.

Platform capability for discovering, managing, assessing, and remediating Non-Human Identities (NHIs) including service accounts, secrets, API keys, IAM roles, IAM users, and permission sets. Provides unified identity governance for both human and non-human identities under one policy-driven access control framework. Enables risk-based prioritization, automated NHI clean-up, quarantine of dormant/zombie NHIs, and migration to a just-enough least-privilege access model across cloud, CI/CD, and SaaS environments. Announced May 2025.

Cloud-native module extending zero standing privileges across cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) using provider-native policy language.
