AI-Governed Least Privilege Access

The new AI-powered enhancements in PAM360's Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) module address the challenges posed by traditional PAM models. These models, which rely on static policies and manual processes, often lead to excessive permissions and security risks. The AI-driven approach enables:

1. Intelligent least privilege policies generation
2. Proactive flagging of risky entitlements
3. Automated remediation of security gaps

According to ManageEngine's 2024 Identity Security Insights, 68% of respondents are seeking AI-driven improvements in risk-based access control 2

Privileged Task Automation

PAM360 now includes a new privileged task automation module powered by Qntrl, Zoho's unified workflow orchestration platform. This feature addresses the limitations of manual access provisioning in automated workflows by:

1. Eliminating the need for manual granting and revoking of access privileges
2. Providing just-in-time access based on task context
3. Automatically revoking access once a task is completed

The integration with the Zoho ecosystem allows for seamless orchestration of privileged access workflows, enhancing efficiency without compromising security 1
