The video covers privileged account discovery, remote privileged access, just-in-time access workflows, credential management, and Zero Trust enforcement for PAM deployments. ![securing-ai-systems-scaled](https://info.xage.com/hs-fs/hubfs/securing-ai-systems-scaled.jpeg?width=2000&name=securing-ai-systems-scaled.jpeg) #### PAM for IT Xage XPAM protects privileged access to enterprise systems, applications, cloud resources, and administrative accounts through least-privilege controls, credential security, and session governance. XPAM simplifies deployment and accelerates time-to-value with an agentless, Zero Trust architecture that delivers secure privileged access without network changes, VPNs, or complex integrations. ![AI-Agent](https://info.xage.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AI-Agent.jpeg?width=1321&height=737&name=AI-Agent.jpeg) #### PAM for AI Agents Xage XPAM governs the permissions, credentials, and actions of autonomous AI agents interacting with enterprise systems, data, and workflows through policy-based access controls and credential protection. Xage applies the same Zero Trust policies used for human and machine identities to AI agents, delivering secure privileged access with centralized governance, full auditability, and consistent policy enforcement. ## Dive Deeper [![odessy-webinar-image](https://info.xage.com/hs-fs/hubfs/odessy-webinar-image.png?width=1280&height=720&name=odessy-webinar-image.png)](https://info.xage.com/esg-showcase-xage-pam) #### Odyssey: The Seven Monsters of PAM - Webinar on Sept. 16th How Zero Trust PAM Defeats the Privileged Access Threat of the AI Era.
