The research firm GigaOm defines Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) solutions as: "specialized security solutions that manage and secure identities and their associated permissions (entitlements) across cloud environments." According to GigaOm, CIEM tools have not only grown in importance in recent years, but modern solutions have evolved to incorporate advanced analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate automated detection and remediation of access anomalies to maintain governance.
In their 2026 Radar for Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management report, GigaOm evaluated 22 leading CIEM solutions. We are proud to announce that the BeyondTrust Pathfinder Platform is recognized as both a Leader and an Outperformer in the Innovation / Platform Play quadrant of the 2026 GigaOm CIEM Radar.
“BeyondTrust is classified as an Outperformer due to industry-first AI agent governance, monthly major capability release (including ML-enhanced analytics and secrets management), and the architectural unification of CIEM with ITDR and PAM.”
