Cybersecurity vendor BeyondTrust announced on Monday geographical expansion of BeyondTrust Identity Security Insights to Australia and India. This expansion delivers a locally hosted, secure, and compliant identity security solution designed to help organisations meet regional operational and regulatory requirements while also addressing growing risks driven by the rapid rise of non-human identities and agentic AI.
As non-human identities and AI-driven automation rapidly expand, organisations are facing increasing pressure to maintain visibility and enforce control, particularly in highly regulated environments like Australia’s critical infrastructure sectors.
“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.”
The expansion enables organisations to align with specific, evolving regulatory standards that demand robust security safeguards for all identity types.
In Australia, this includes the Security of Critical Infrastructure (SOCI) Act of 2018, which requires critical sectors, including energy, finance, telecom, and more, to enforce least-privilege access and implement risk management programs for cyber threats.
It also supports Australian organisations in reducing operational risk and maintaining compliance with legislation, including the SOCI Act, APRA CPS 234, and the ASD Essential Eight. BeyondTrust Identity Security Insights supports these by providing visibility into the identity layer, the primary vector for modern attacks on critical infrastructure.
In India, this includes regulatory guidance such as the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Cybersecurity and Cyber Resilience Framework (CSCRF), which emphasizes strong access controls, data protection, and continuous monitoring to reduce cyber risk.
“In high-growth markets like India, organisations are rapidly embracing AI and automation—but often without a clear line of sight into the non-human identities driving that innovation,” said Murali Urs, regional director for India at BeyondTrust. “Without that visibility, it becomes difficult to enforce least privilege and control risk before it scales. The ability to understand and secure these identities is quickly becoming foundational to sustaining innovation safely.”
Identity Security Insights connects core Privileged Access Management (PAM) with emerging identity security use cases, offering outstanding visibility for human and non-human identities.
Key capabilities center on three areas that reshape how organizations manage emerging identity risks. Discovery at scale provides complete visibility into non-human identities, agents, and the sprawl of secrets across multi-cloud environments, helping eliminate shadow access before it becomes exploitable.
Autonomous defense moves beyond static policies by operationalizing risk detection and recommendations, prioritizing threats, and delivering actionable intelligence that cuts through the noise to focus on critical Paths to Privilege. Alongside this, agentic AI security introduces specialized monitoring of autonomous AI agents, ensuring they operate within defined boundaries without slowing business innovation.
Identity Security Insights is part of the BeyondTrust Pathfinder Platform, which unifies identity discovery, intelligence, and control across hybrid, cloud, SaaS, and OT environments. This unified approach moves organisations beyond visibility alone, enabling security teams to enforce least privilege and actively control, remediate, and prevent identity risk across human, non-human, and AI identities from a single platform.
