# ManageEngine PAM360 | Issue #15 **April 1, 2026** **ISSUE#15** ![PAMphlet Logo](https://www.manageengine.com/privileged-access-management/images/pamphlet-logo-light.png) ## The ManageEngine PAM newsletter ## A stellar beginning As resolutions align and strategies take shape, we step into this second quarter like a new constellation forming in the night sky steady, intentional, and full of possibility. Our focus this year is simple: to help you bring greater clarity and control to your privileged access universe. The past quarter closed like a brilliant supernova of progress, and that glow carries forward. From meaningful enhancements across our session management ecosystem to fresh thought leadership exploring the shifting identity threat landscape, We have one mission in mind: to help you navigate the year secure, resilient, and confidently in control. ## Session events monitoring PAM360 now enables administrators to monitor detailed session activity across all RDP connections on privileged machines. With the Windows or Windows Domain agent deployed and System Event Logging and Keystroke Logging enabled, the platform captures critical system events including session logon and logoff, application launches and terminations, active window changes, and user keystrokes. These events are recorded for both PAM360-initiated sessions and direct logins to the machine, delivering comprehensive visibility into user actions. This enhancement strengthens audit readiness, improves real-time security monitoring, and supports compliance requirements with complete, end-to-end session traceability.

This native functionality enables administrators to capture session activities seamlessly, with recording settings managed through the Privileged Session configuration area. **Note:** Session recording is currently supported only on machines running Windows 11 with PAM360 Remote Connect version 5000 installed.

Here's a glimpse of what the report reveals: - Most organizations report machine identities outnumbering human users by **100:1 or more**, with some environments approaching **500:1.** - **Three out of four organizations** are actively consolidating or evaluating consolidation of their identity tools. - While **over two-thirds** of respondents are piloting or evaluating AI in identity workflows, only a **minority** report organization-wide maturity. The full report explores how organizations are approaching human and machine identities, AI adoption within identity workflows, tool sprawl and consolidation, third-party access risks, and identity security investments for the years ahead.

These gatherings weren't just events on a calendar, they were spaces for honest conversations about evolving PAM challenges, identity sprawl, compliance fatigue, and the growing complexity of hybrid environments. Every discussion, question, and insight you shared has helped shape how we think about privileged access. Your feedback continues to play a critical role in strengthening PAM360, making it better aligned with the realities your teams face every day. And we're not slowing down. ![ManageEngine Conference](https://cdn.manageengine.com/sites/meweb/images/privileged-access-management/newsletter/apr-2026-conference-collage.png) [Join us at an event near you](http://events.manageengine.com) ## Resource library Throughout the year, our team has mapped and assembled a constellation of whitepapers to help you navigate the more complex corners of the identity universe. ![NIS2 Directive Whitepaper](https://www.manageengine.com/sites/meweb/images/privileged-access-management/newsletter/jan-2026-book1.png) **Ensuring compliance with the NIS2 Directive using PAM** [Learn more](https://www.manageengine.com/privileged-access-management/whitepaper/ensure-nis2-directive-compliance-with-privileged-access-management.html) **The cost of a PAM implementation** [Read now](https://www.manageengine.com/privileged-access-management/pam-implementation-cost.html) ![PAM Implementation Cost](https://www.manageengine.com/sites/meweb/images/privileged-access-management/newsletter/jan-2026-book2.png) ![PAM Maturity Model](https://www.manageengine.com/sites/meweb/images/privileged-access-management/newsletter/jan-2026-book3.png) **An all-encompassing, objective approach to PAM maturity** [Read now](https://www.manageengine.com/privileged-access-management/pam-maturity-model.html) [Access the resource library](https://www.manageengine.com/privileged-access-management/thought-leadership/library.html) ## Secrets curated for you From AI and secure service management to compliance, we've gathered a selection of podcast episodes that we believe will scratch your ITch: - [The role of AI on the road to zero standing privileges](https://www.manageengine.com/privileged-access-management/thought-leadership/artificial-intelligence/the-role-of-ai-on-the-road-to-zero-standing-privileges.html) - [Weaving identity security threads into enterprise-wide workflows](https://www.manageengine.com/privileged-access-management/thought-leadership/identity-strategy/weaving-identity-security-threads-into-enterprise-wide-workflows.html) - [Compliance breeds cyber discipline](https://www.manageengine.com/privileged-access-management/thought-leadership/privacy-compliance/compliance-breeds-cyber-discipline.html) And with that, we drift to the close of this edition. --- If you've journeyed with us this far, thank you for staying in our orbit.
