Nomination Highlights

Xage Extended Privileged Access Management (XPAM) redefines the Privileged Access Management (PAM) category by solving the fundamental flaw of legacy PAM: incomplete visibility and protection. Rather than securing only discovered privileged accounts, Xage delivers a unified Zero Trust platform that governs and enforces end-to-end privileged control across all identities, assets, and environments from day one.

XPAM uniquely combines PAM, Secure Remote Access, Zero Trust Network Access, and critical asset protection in a single platform with native zero standing privileges and just-in-time access. This unified architecture eliminates the fragmentation, hardware dependencies, and licensing complexity common in legacy solutions. It natively supports multi hop access across security zones without requiring additional infrastructure, dramatically simplifying deployment and operations.

While traditional PAM requires lengthy discovery and policy definition cycles before meaningful protection is achieved. Xage provides protection on day one by immediately creating a secure control layer between users and assets, enforcing identity based access across IT, OT, cloud, and hybrid environments. Even if every privileged account has not yet been discovered, policies remain enforced and assets remain protected. This is one of the core defining innovations of XPAM.

XPAM is built for converged OT, IT, and cloud environments with multiple self managed sites. Each distributed node automatically inherits policy, user, and credential data, enabling rapid deployment across data centers, public cloud, hybrid cloud, and operational technology sites. Organizations can securely isolate high value assets such as vaults, databases, and industrial systems with layered security controls, multi layer MFA validation, and session termination across zones.

Its decentralized, highly resilient architecture further sets it apart. The quantum-proofed credential management, vaulting, and access policy enforcement operate through distributed nodes that verify requests using consensus. XPAM continues enforcing policies even if connectivity to a central site or the cloud is lost, eliminating single points of failure and significantly increasing cyber resilience.

The impact is measurable. Customers achieve faster time to value and optimal total cost of ownership while strengthening security outcomes. By reducing attack surface, eliminating zero standing privileges, stopping credential misuse, and preventing lateral movement, Xage XPAM delivers comprehensive protection without operational friction.

About this category: Privileged Access Management (PAM)

The Cybersecurity Excellence Awards recognize privileged access management products that control and monitor administrative and other high-risk access. The category covers credential vaulting, just-in-time administrator access and session control.

An independent jury of security practitioners, analysts and CISOs scores each nomination on leadership, innovation and impact. Each nomination competes in its category against organizations of similar size and region. Entry packages, sponsorship and public votes do not affect the jury's scores.
