Everyone's talking about System One models: AI that makes fast, structured decisions instead of writing text. Meet the team behind AI innovations at Netwrix, and see how we're putting them to work. On Tuesday, Oct. 20, at 2 p.m. ET, Jordan Violet, Jake Mahon, and Jean Perez go live during Netwrix Innovation Week to show how we use System One to make decisions about account health, double-check whether documents really contain sensitive data, and decide whether AI can merge a pull request. System One makes the call, and n8n puts it to work. Joe Lemieux, a solutions engineer at n8n, joins us to show how teams wire decisions like these into workflows and agents, and where automation is headed for security and IT. Bring your questions for live Q&A in the chat.

The employee who built the agent can leave, but the agent can stay. Grady Summers, Netwrix CEO, sits down with Jeff Warren, Chief Product Officer, about a problem many teams already have without realizing it: AI agents running in their environment that nobody has inventoried. Microsoft 365 alone offers more than a dozen ways to create one. The conversation covers where agents are showing up, why visibility has to come before governance, and what Netwrix is building in 1Secure with Agentic AI Security. The beta is open now. Jeff demos it tomorrow, Tuesday, October 20 at 10 a.m. ET / 7 a.m. PT. Read the full post: netwrix.com/en/resources/blo… #Netwrix #InnovationWeek #DataSecurity #IdentitySecurity

We know how to govern human identities. Then agents showed up, and a lot of those best practices got left behind. Jeff Warren, Chief Product Officer at Netwrix and Grady Summers, CEO of Netwrix explains why AI agent adoption is moving faster than the governance around it. This is a preview of the full conversation, live Monday, October 19 at 10 a.m. ET / 7 a.m. PT, opening Netwrix Innovation Week.

AI agents aren’t just software. They’re identities, with credentials, tokens, and permissions that someone has to secure. During Netwrix Innovation Week, join Phillip Wylie, Christina Morillo, Spencer Alessi, and Darryl Baker, CISSP, CEH, CCSP, ... for AI Agents Have Entered the Chat, a live Notes From the Field panel moderated by Avesta Hojjati, Ph.D., CTO at Netwrix. Expect red team and blue team perspectives on identity security. They’ll cover how attackers use AI against Active Directory and Entra ID, how to govern AI agents as identities, and what defenders should fix first.

Growing past 500 employees doesn’t make access easier to manage. It makes it harder to see. Per Netwrix’s 2026 Data and Identity Security Report, 40% of organizations with 500 to 999 employees reported unauthorized access to sensitive data in the past year, the highest of any size group. That compares with 18% under 500 employees and 27% at 10,000 or more. “They’re big enough that access has become complicated, but they don’t necessarily have the people or tools of a large enterprise,” says Grady Summers, CEO of Netwrix. Behind that number, 80% of organizations in this size group can’t get a single view of where sensitive data lives and which identities can access it. Among organizations with fewer than 1,000 employees, 70% have privileged accounts with standing access to sensitive systems or data.

Most PAM programs were built to answer one question: how do we protect the password? Vault it, rotate it, inject it into the session. The account behind it still holds privilege around the clock, and attackers don’t always need the password to use it. In this three-part series, Tyler Reese, VP of Product Management at Netwrix, covers where legacy PAM stops, what happens when privilege only exists for the length of a session, and how to get there without replacing the vault you already run.

Your customers think data security is a compliance problem. The market just moved to governance. That shift changes everything about how they spend money. Assessments. Implementation. Managed services. Renewal expansion. If you're not helping them make that shift, your margin stays flat and your renewals get cheaper. Oct 21: See where the revenue actually is.

Auditors don’t ask if your controls exist. They ask if you can prove it, on the spot. Dirk Schrader, VP of Security Research at Netwrix, explains why public-sector teams should get evidence-ready before the next audit.

Identity-first security is easy to say and hard to run. That was the thread through Tyler Reese’s fireside chat at OptivCon Kansas City. Tyler, our VP of Product Management, joined the session on what recent incidents and implementations are teaching security teams, and what identity-first security looks like in practice. Thank you to @Optiv and everyone who stopped by our booth on Wednesday, Oct. 7, 2026. If you missed us in Kansas City, reach out to our team. #Netwrix #OptivCon #IdentitySecurity #DataSecurity

An attacker with domain admin credentials doesn’t look like an attacker. That’s the problem. Compromised identity is now the leading route to unauthorized access, ahead of misconfigured permissions, per Netwrix's 2026 Data and Identity Security Report. We tested that by paying real attackers to breach a moderately hardened Active Directory. Every attack from standard users and admins was caught. Once an attacker held valid domain admin credentials, every attack got through, because the requests looked exactly like a real admin's. PAM, IGA, and ITDR each cover a different moment in that attack. Bolted into one console, they're still three separate jobs.

Innovate Summit Scottsdale wrapped up this week, and Booth #105 at the JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn gave us three days of them. Security leaders stopped by to talk about reducing cyber risk and protecting critical data. Thank you to the Innovate organizers for a well-run event, and to everyone who stopped by. Thanks to the team on the ground: Ryan Goss, Michael Henriks, Collin Bass 🐟, Kent Tuominen, and Tina Shakour, CISSP. If we missed each other in Scottsdale, send us a message. We’ll pick up where the conversation left off. #Innovate2026 #Cybersecurity #Netwrix #InfoSec

Day one at Les Assises de la Cybersécurité 2026, and we've had good conversations already with CISOs, CIOs, and security leaders from across banking, government, defence, and energy. If you're here at the Assises, come find the Netwrix team. We'd love to talk through what's on your roadmap: identity and access management, governance, threat management, data security, or getting ahead of AI-driven risk. More to come as the week continues. See you on the floor. Monaco | October 7–10, 2026 Book a meeting with us: lesassisesdelacybersecurite.…

Pull up a privileged account used in a session yesterday. Is it still there? Does it still hold the same group memberships? If yes, you have password rotation. You don't have Zero Standing Privilege. Rotation stops a credential from being reused. It doesn't make the account disappear, and an attacker who finds it doesn't need yesterday's password; they just need the account to still exist and still hold privilege. Per Netwrix's 2026 Data and Identity Security Report, 76% of organizations can't immediately revoke standing access when it's no longer needed, and 64% have overprovisioned access sitting on critical data right now. Zero Standing Privilege asks a different question: why should the account exist when nobody's using it? With ephemeral accounts, access is created for a task and [disabled/deleted — confirm] the moment it ends.

System prompt files, model configs, and safety filter rulesets are just files sitting on a server. They're every bit as exposed as any other config, with more consequential outcomes if tampered with. Join Dan Piazza, Product Management, at Netwrix on October 15 to see how Netwrix Change Tracker brings file integrity monitoring, CIS-aligned hardening, and closed-loop change control to the configuration layer underneath your AI deployment, so you can tell a scheduled update from an unauthorized one. Thursday, October 15 | 1:00 PM ET Reserve your spot: event.on24.com/wcc/r/5490402…

Reselling software is getting harder. Reselling proof is not. For your SMB and mid-market customers, identity security, data security, compliance, and AI readiness have collapsed into a single conversation, and most can't prove who has access to what, what changed, or whether their controls work. Join Ed Baker, Ryan Oistacher, and Eleonora Liapina for a sales-focused session that's deliberately not a product briefing. It's the business case: where the revenue is, the fastest route to a first opportunity, and three ways to sell one platform.

Healthcare AI agents inherit whatever access already accumulated in Active Directory, not the access anyone meant to give them. That gap shows up in the numbers: 79% of healthcare organizations say their non-human identities, including AI agents, aren't fully governed. Healthcare ranks lowest of 16 industries in confidence that its Active Directory is free of privilege escalation risk, with 86% lacking full confidence. Among those that experienced an incident, 33% put the cost above $250,000. Darryl Baker, Senior Staff Security Researcher at Netwrix, explains what healthcare organizations need to understand about existing access before adding more AI agents and non-human identities.
