Problem
Enterprises adopting AI generate massive numbers of human, machine, and agentic identities, but legacy privilege access solutions only protect a limited set of privileged users. This creates uncontrolled privileges, excessive access rights, and blind spots that attackers can exploit at scale.
Solution
Idira® is Palo Alto Networks’ unified identity security platform designed for the AI‑driven enterprise. It discovers every identity—human, machine, and autonomous agents—maps their risk, and enforces least‑privilege controls dynamically across the entire lifecycle. The platform integrates modern privileged access management (PAM) with machine and agentic identity security, providing continuous visibility, automated policy enforcement, and real‑time governance. By consolidating these functions into a single control plane, Idira eliminates gaps between traditional IAM and emerging AI workloads, reducing attack surface while supporting rapid AI innovation.
Target Audience
Idira targets large enterprises and AI‑focused organizations that need to secure privileged access for thousands of human users, millions of machine identities, and autonomous AI agents, including sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare, government, banking, and insurance.
