Launch in UAE, India, Singapore and South Africa strengthens regional cyber‑resilience amid rising agentic AI threats and expanding non‑human identity sprawl
BeyondTrust has expanded its Pathfinder Platform into the UAE, India, Singapore and South Africa, addressing exponential growth in machine identities, autonomous AI agents and rising regulatory pressures across four of the world’s fastest‑growing digital economies. Announced on January 26, 2026, the expansion enhances the company’s global capacity to help enterprises secure both human and non‑human identities across hybrid, cloud, SaaS and operational technology (OT) environments.
As organizations accelerate digital transformation, the ratio of machine‑to‑human identities has surged due to API‑driven architectures, cloud automation and the rapid emergence of agentic AI—autonomous systems capable of reasoning and taking action independently. These entities often proliferate without governance, creating hidden “shadow access” pathways that attackers can exploit.
“Inability to see and control machine identities is no longer just a cyber risk — it is now a critical compliance failure.” — Janine Seebeck, CEO, BeyondTrust
Janine Seebeck, CEO of BeyondTrust, said the regions targeted represent a convergence of rapid technology adoption and stringent regulatory oversight. “The explosion of machine identities is amplifying the need to evolve identity security models,” she said. “Inability to see and control them is no longer just a risk — it is a critical compliance failure.”
The Pathfinder Platform offers large‑scale discovery of machine identities, AI‑based risk prioritization, and specialized monitoring for autonomous AI agents — features that directly address the identity‑centric attack surface emerging in modern enterprises. Its privilege‑centric design brings PAM (Privileged Access Management) and new‑age identity security into a single platform.
Stronger Compliance Alignment Across Regions
- UAE: Supports compliance with NESA Information Assurance Standards for critical infrastructure.
- India: Aligns with DPDP Act requirements and CERT‑In’s rapid incident‑reporting mandates.
- Singapore: Helps Critical Information Infrastructure operators comply with the Cybersecurity Act’s CCoP.
- South Africa: Reinforces POPIA Condition 7 by securing machine identities processing personal data.
One Platform for Every Identity
By unifying discovery, intelligence and control, Pathfinder enables enterprises to embrace AI, automation and multi‑cloud growth without compromising security or regulatory posture.
Organizations can benchmark their exposure using BeyondTrust’s free Identity Security Risk Assessment, now updated to detect agentic AI risks.
