One forgotten VPN account that nobody used and nobody had disabled. Operations stood still for days.

That’s where Sascha Martens, Senior Engineering Manager at Netwrix, starts his Innovation Week conversation, “AI attacks move faster than your SIEM can log them.”

Netwrix has been recognized in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Privileged Access Management for the fifth consecutive year.

In 2019, we bet on a different approach to PAM: remove standing privilege instead of only vaulting it. Netwrix Privilege Secure creates privileged access when a task is approved, scopes it to that task, and deletes it when the session ends. No account is left standing for an attacker to find at 2 a.m.

According to Netwrix's 2026 Data and Identity Security Report, 66% of organizations still have standing, always-on access for some or most privileged roles. That's the exposure Zero Standing Privilege is built to close.

Thank you to the customers who trusted this approach before the rest of the market caught up, and to the Netwrix team who built it.

Employees are already using AI at work, approved or not. So the question for IT has moved from “should we allow it” to “how do we enable it safely.”

In this Innovation Week blog, Ryan Oistacher, Director of Product Marketing at Netwrix talks with Michael Wetzel, Chief Information Officer at Netwrix, about how his team brought AI to employees across the company: which tools get approved, what guardrails go around them, how people get trained, and how the team measures whether it’s working.

Anyone with a browser and a credit card can sign up for an AI tool, so a blanket no doesn’t hold, and the work is securing the request quickly.

Are you tracking the valid login or the changes that follow it?

At the Sydney Data Protection & Security Summit 2026, we walked through a hypothetical hybrid environment where an attacker used a valid login to make privileged group changes that went unnoticed for days. The session covered four steps: find the exposure, detect privileged changes, contain in stages, and keep a change history you can show auditors.

The core point: the login looked valid. The changes that followed gave the attacker away.

Which step is hardest for your team right now? Share your approach in the comments.

AI took the skill, personalization, and speed barriers out of cyberattacks. Dan Piazza, Manager of Product Management at Netwrix, argues that one thing still gives them away: the change they have to make to a file, a configuration, or a script on a real system.

Underground tools sell pre-jailbroken access to mainstream models for as little as $50 a week, and attackers now use language models at every stage of the kill chain, from recon to persistence.

Hear Dan’s case in the video podcast “You only need AI tokens to become a hacker” on Friday, October 23 at 7 a.m. ET / 4 a.m. PT / 13:00 CEST.

Your AI assistants leave credentials on disk, in well-known locations. An infostealer only has to copy one.

Darryl Baker, CISSP, CEH, CCSP, ..., Senior Staff Security Researcher at Netwrix, introduces AIHound in his Innovation Week blog: a free, open-source scanner that runs on your machine and finds the API keys, OAuth tokens, and other credentials your AI assistants leave behind.

Most of the tools he looked at left a clear text credential on the user’s machine, and Trend Micro’s analysis of more than 19,000 MCP servers found that 48% recommend storing secrets in .env files or plaintext JSON.

AIHound scores each finding by criticality and redacts credential values by default. The download is a small binary, and a scan takes seconds.
