Palo Alto Networks has launched Idira, a next-generation identity security platform covering human, machine, and agentic identities. The launch establishes Identity as the third core pillar of its platform strategy alongside Network and Cloud.

Machine identities now outnumber human identities by 109 to 1, and 9 in 10 organisations globally experienced a successful identity-related breach in the past year, according to the company’s 2026 Identity Security Landscape Report. In Singapore, 98% of respondents say tool fragmentation adds an average of 13 hours to every identity incident response.

Eliminating Standing Privileges

Idira replaces persistent access rights with just-in-time, dynamic privilege controls across all identity types. AI-driven discovery surfaces identities and access paths continuously. Automated governance applies AI-powered policy across the full identity lifecycle. 89% of Singapore organisations expect AI agent identities to grow over the next 12 months, making agentic identity control a growing priority.

Built on Palo Alto Networks’ acquisition of CyberArk’s SaaS capabilities, Idira allows existing CyberArk customers to migrate without disruption, with agentic identity protections available via additional licensing.

“Machine identities now outnumber humans 107 to 1 in Singapore. With 90% of organizations reporting an identity-related breach in the last year, the threat landscape is evolving faster than most can govern it.”

92% of Singapore organisations say they will need external help to become quantum-ready. Idira is generally available today, with additional capabilities planned for later in 2026.
