Privileged Access Management (PAM) for AI

Reviewed 9 April 2026 Canonical definition

Privileged access management for AI extends traditional PAM practices to AI agents, ensuring that agents with elevated or sensitive permissions are subject to enhanced controls — just-in-time provisioning, session recording, multi-party approval, and automatic credential expiry. PAM for AI prevents AI agents from accumulating persistent privileged access that could be exploited.
