BeyondTrust, a global leader in privilege-centric identity security, has been named a Leader and Outperformer in the 2026 GigaOm Radar for Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM). The recognition highlights BeyondTrust Pathfinder, its unified platform integrating CIEM, privileged access management (PAM), and identity threat detection and response (ITDR) into a single interface.
Pathfinder provides AI-driven cross-domain identity visibility, entitlement governance, and cloud permissions management across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Its modular architecture allows organizations to adopt CIEM independently or as part of a broader identity security strategy.
Key Features Driving Leadership
GigaOm highlighted several capabilities that distinguish Pathfinder:
- AI-Powered Anomaly Detection & Just-in-Time Access – Automated least-privilege recommendations, risk-scored remediation, and intelligent entitlement automation that grants time-bound access for low-risk scenarios.
- Lifecycle Entitlements Governance – Continuous synchronization with HR systems and identity providers, automated provisioning and deprovisioning, dormant account monitoring, and access review campaigns.
- Compliance Automation – Regulatory mapping for GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, audit-ready reporting, and detailed traceability of approval and entitlement decisions.
- Multicloud Integration – Pathfinder supports SaaS deployment with optional on-prem components and integrates with more than 100 applications via connectors, breaking down identity security silos.
“Cloud identities—and their entitlements—have become the primary attack surface in modern enterprises,” said Sam Elliott, SVP of Product Management at BeyondTrust. “Pathfinder fuses CIEM, PAM, and ITDR into a unified platform that eliminates visibility gaps, protects against emerging threats, and enforces least privilege across complex multicloud environments.”
GigaOm classified BeyondTrust as an Outperformer due to its industry-first AI agent governance, monthly major releases, and architectural unification of identity security functions. By combining AI-driven insights with integrated entitlement management, Pathfinder helps organizations proactively mitigate risk while improving operational efficiency.
As cloud adoption accelerates, unified identity security platforms like Pathfinder are increasingly critical for reducing overprivileged access, ensuring continuous compliance, and safeguarding enterprise resources across hybrid and multicloud deployments.
