Alisa Vijeo from California announced One Identity's Safeguard 9.0 on November 10th, 2026, designed to simplify enterprise privileged access management (PAM). The latest release streamlines infrastructure, reduces administrative burden and enhances user experience. Safeguard for Privileged Passwords 9.0 and Safeguard for Privileged Sessions 9.0 are the notable upgrades.
The new version supports hardware-agnostic deployment, Windows 11 LTSC with embedded licensing, and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Software updates now install faster with fewer disruptions, and session management no longer necessitates a separate license file. Key enhancements include asset-scoped just-in-time group elevation, automated ESXi account discovery, and configurable cipher selection for security policies.
These improvements solidify Safeguard's standing among top PAM solutions, as evidenced by PeerSpot's 8.6/10 rating and Gartner's 4.7/5 rating. One Identity, trusted by over 11,000 organizations managing 500 million identities, offers flexible deployment options and integrates seamlessly into enterprise identity fabrics for enhanced security and compliance.
