Xage Named to Gartner Magic Quadrant for PAM

PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 26, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Xage Security, the leader in identity-based Zero Trust for high-stakes environments, has been named in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Privileged Access Management (PAM). The company's CEO, Duncan Greatwood, emphasized the evolving landscape of privileged access management, noting that organizations are now managing not only human privilege access but also that of machines, applications, and AI agents, which are gaining more autonomy and access. This necessitates a unified approach to govern human and non-human identities across the entire enterprise environment, controlling not only who and what can access resources, but also what actions they can take once access is granted.

Xage's inclusion in the Gartner Magic Quadrant underscores its commitment to providing a unified policy and enforcement layer across IT, cloud, data center, edge, and operational technology (OT) environments. The company's platform, built on the Xage Fabric, extends protection to human, non-human, and agent identities, addressing the limitations of traditional PAM solutions that have made it difficult to extend across the full enterprise digital footprint.

Xage's Extended Privileged Access Management (XPAM) solution is designed to streamline deployment and maintain resilient enforcement, unifying privilege management and controlling every access path. It also reduces the cost of ownership and extends privileged access protection end-to-end across the enterprise. Key differentiators of XPAM include its agentless, distributed architecture, which accelerates time to value and streamlines deployment, while consolidating PAM, secure remote access, multi-factor authentication (MFA), single sign-on (SSO), credential management, and session recording into a unified approach. This reduces the infrastructure and operational burden of fragmented privileged access tools.

The platform also includes features such as unified protection across the entire environment, just-in-time, least-privilege access, secure remote privileged access, identity security for AI agents, and resilient and secure by design features, including distributed credential vaulting and local policy enforcement. These capabilities address the challenges of managing privileged access in a rapidly evolving digital landscape, where machines and AI are gaining more autonomy and attackers are becoming more sophisticated.

The Gartner Magic Quadrant for Privileged Access Management, authored by Paul Mezzera, Shubham Gera, Scott Brinker, and Tarun Rohilla on October 21, 2026, recognized Xage's leadership in the field. The Magic Quadrant places Xage in the "Leaders" quadrant, indicating its forward-looking vision and ability to execute on its strategy.

Xage's inclusion in the Gartner Magic Quadrant is a testament to its commitment to providing a unified approach to managing privileged access across the enterprise, ensuring resilience and security in the face of increasingly complex and autonomous digital environments. This recognition underscores the company's role as a leader in the evolving landscape of privileged access management.
