Discussing IAM and AI Security
IDENTITY SENTINEL • AI SECURITY • APPSEC What Application Security Is and Why It’s Not Enough for AI Security Application Security (AppSec) is built to protect traditional software by securing the code, the build pipeline, and the runtime environment. It’s one of the most important disciplines in modern engineering and it should remain a non-negotiable […]
Most vendor comparisons feel like marketing sheets: checkboxes, features, bold claims, and not much substance. The truth is that CyberArk and BeyondTrust Password Safe both solve privileged access problems, but they do it from completely different mental models. CyberArk is structured, governed, and policy driven. BeyondTrust is automated, appliance driven, and heavily dependent on identity […]

Instead of structuring governance around Safes and platform policies, Password Safe organizes the world into managed systems, the privileged accounts that live on them, and an automation engine called Smart Rules that decides how everything should be classified, onboarded, and assigned. The platform […]

I think it is more useful to start with how CyberArk actually thinks about privileged access. At its core, CyberArk is built around three ideas: Safes to logically contain secrets, CPM (Central Policy Manager) to manage passwords, and PSM […]
AI PAM Part 3: Building a Complete Enterprise AI Security Ecosystem With CyberArk Secure AI Most organizations try to secure AI by focusing on one small corner of the problem: the model, the prompts, the data, the SaaS usage, or the policies. AI PAM forces a different realization. You cannot secure AI by chasing pieces. […]
AI Agents Are More Dangerous Than Human Admins The funny thing about AI in security is that most vendors talk about it like it is something magical, mysterious, or philosophical. CyberArk does the opposite. They treat AI like what it has already become: a wildly fast, extremely literal, and occasionally chaotic privileged user that desperately […]
AI, with great powers come your greatest risk AI has already crossed a threshold most organizations have not fully acknowledged. It now behaves like a privileged identity. Not a human identity, not a traditional service account, and not a predictable automation script but something faster, more literal, and far harder to contain. AI agents execute […]
