BeyondTrust has expanded regional availability of its Identity Security Insights product to Australia, citing growing risks linked to “non-human identities” and agentic AI, and rising compliance demands across regulated sectors.
The company said the Australian deployment is locally hosted and intended to support operational and regulatory requirements, including obligations under the Security of Critical Infrastructure (SOCI) Act. BeyondTrust also referenced APRA CPS 234 and the ASD Essential Eight as compliance frameworks relevant to local organisations.
BeyondTrust positioned the move in the context of increasing reliance on machine identities, AI agents and service accounts across hybrid, cloud and SaaS environments, which can be difficult for organisations to inventory and govern.
“Australian enterprises are now running environments where machine identities, AI agents, and service accounts outnumber their human workforce and most have no real visibility over their access or capabilities. That is not a gap in their security strategy; it is a gap in their compliance posture,” said Roshi Balendran, Regional Director, ANZ, BeyondTrust. “Given recent action, including investigations and fines, by Australian regulators it is clear that they are no longer interested in intent, they want evidence of control. Organisations that can’t demonstrate governance over non-human identities may be one incident away from material penalties.”
In its announcement, BeyondTrust said Identity Security Insights connects privileged access management (PAM) with identity security use cases, and is designed to provide visibility into human and non-human identities. The company listed capabilities including discovery of non-human identities and secrets sprawl across multi-cloud environments, risk detections and recommendations to prioritise threats, and monitoring of autonomous AI agents.
BeyondTrust said Identity Security Insights is part of its Pathfinder Platform, which it described as unifying identity discovery, intelligence and control across hybrid, cloud, SaaS and operational technology environments.
The company also said it has expanded a free Identity Security Risk Assessment to provide “immediate visibility into agentic AI risks.”
