This whitepaper explains how Privileged Access Management (PAM) must evolve into Extended PAM (XPM) to meet modern cybersecurity challenges in hybrid and cloud environments. Traditional PAM focused on administrators and on-premise assets, but XPM applies Zero Trust principles to all identities—human and machine—treating every user as privileged. XPM integrates automation, unified policy-based authorization, and real-time data sharing to prevent lateral movement and privilege misuse. Delinea’s platform enables XPM through adaptive authorization, AI-driven analytics, and a cloud-native architecture that simplifies operations, strengthens least privilege enforcement, and enhances visibility across complex identity ecosystems.
