Saviynt has been recognized as a Challenger in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Privileged Access Management (PAM) — a testament to its innovation, vision, and commitment to helping enterprises modernize access control in an era defined by complexity and automation. This recognition highlights Saviynt’s continued momentum in delivering an intelligent, cloud-native PAM platform that addresses both traditional privileged access and emerging non-human identity (NHI) challenges.

As the identity landscape evolves, the definition of “privileged” is expanding. Enterprises are no longer just managing admin accounts and human credentials, they’re also securing APIs, service accounts, secrets, and AI agents that operate autonomously across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. These machine and non-human identities now outnumber human users by a wide margin, creating new attack surfaces and operational risks that legacy PAM tools were never designed to handle.

The Modern PAM Challenge

Traditional PAM systems focused on vaulting credentials and rotating passwords. While still essential, that approach alone no longer scales to meet modern cloud-native, API-driven realities. Today, privileged access must adapt dynamically to workload changes, ephemeral credentials, and AI-driven automation. Mismanaged secrets, stale tokens, and unmonitored service accounts are quickly becoming prime targets for threat actors , often leading to lateral movement, data breaches, and unauthorized escalation.

Saviynt addresses these gaps by extending PAM beyond password management into intelligent authorization and continuous risk-based access control. Built within the Saviynt Identity Cloud, the platform unifies governance, privileged access, and analytics under one AI-driven architecture.

Intelligent, Unified Privileged Access

Saviynt’s position in the Challengers Quadrant reflects how the company is redefining the boundaries of privileged access through convergence and automation. Its integrated governance engine allows organizations to correlate entitlements, policies, and usage data across human and non-human identities — enabling just-in-time access, zero standing privileges (ZSP), and continuous entitlement right-sizing.

Key differentiators include:

• Unified Identity and PAM – Bridging identity governance and privileged access into a single platform to eliminate silos and simplify lifecycle management.
• Non-Human Identity Protection – Extending visibility and control to APIs, bots, workloads, and service accounts across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
• AI-Driven Access Decisions – Using analytics to continuously evaluate risk and automatically adjust privileges in real time.
• Cloud-Native Architecture – Delivering scalability, automation, and flexibility through a SaaS-native model that supports hybrid and multi-cloud operations.
• Continuous Governance – Automating discovery, access certification, and remediation of unused or risky privileges without disrupting productivity.

A Shared Recognition

Being named a Challenger reflects more than technological achievement, it represents Saviynt’s partnership with the global community of identity and security leaders driving change. Every customer’s feedback, proof-of-concept, and deployment challenge has shaped the platform’s evolution. The result is a product built not just for modern PAM, but for the future of intelligent identity security.

The Path Forward

As AI agents and NHIs continue to expand within enterprise infrastructures, the need for unified governance and dynamic privilege management will only grow. Saviynt is focused on continuing its innovation across Privileged Access Management, Identity Governance, and Non-Human Identity Security, helping organizations secure every access path, whether human, machine, or autonomous system.

This Gartner recognition underscores Saviynt’s leadership in converging identity governance and PAM into one intelligent, adaptive solution that protects critical assets, empowers users, and enables business growth.

Securing privileged access isn’t a one-time milestone, it’s a continuous journey. Saviynt remains committed to guiding that journey with a modern, scalable, and unified approach to identity security.
