07 May 2026 08:30 CEST

Paris, France – May 7, 2026, WALLIX (Euronext ALLIX), a European cybersecurity software vendor specializing in Identity and Access Management (IAM) and a recognized leader in Privileged Access Management (PAM), brought together more than 50 strategic partner organizations from across the EMEA region for the 2026 edition of its 4th Partner Conference. Held in Rome, Italy, on April 14–15, 2026, the event provided an opportunity to reaffirm WALLIX's vision for sovereign cybersecurity and to unveil its product strategy, driven by the integration of trusted artificial intelligence at the core of its platform. The event also recognized the ecosystem's top-performing partners through the presentation of the 2025 Partner Awards.

WALLIX reaffirms its vision for sovereign cybersecurity

In his opening keynote, Eric Gatrio, Chief Revenue Officer at WALLIX, reiterated the Group's ambition: "WALLIX enables organizations to prioritize their digital autonomy by choosing a unified cybersecurity platform for managing identities, digital access, and privileged accounts across both IT and industrial OT environments." In an increasingly demanding economic and regulatory environment, he reaffirmed WALLIX's ambition to become the leading European alternative in response to the risks associated with non-European cybersecurity offerings in the current geopolitical landscape. "Our Zero Trust cybersecurity approach helps organizations meet compliance requirements such as NIS2, DORA, and IEC 62443. It is built on solutions developed according to the highest European quality standards and certified by BSI[1] and ANSSI[2], with the objective of ensuring our customers' freedom of action and strategic autonomy across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and all countries sharing these values. This vision also resonates strongly with our partner ecosystem, which is seeking both performance and differentiation in strategic markets such as IAM and PAM."

This strong positioning reflects WALLIX's DNA: combining identity cybersecurity, digital sovereignty, and strategic independence to establish itself as a trusted alternative across the EMEA region.

Trusted AI embedded at the core of the WALLIX platform

During this event, Wadiha El Batti, Product Management Director at WALLIX, presented a preview of the group's product strategy, with a focus on the integration of artificial intelligence within its unified identity, access and privilege management platform. Designed as a trust enabler rather than a “black box,” WALLIX's AI strategy follows a responsible, secure, and sovereign approach. It enhances visibility and analytics capabilities based on security logs and events, anticipates identity-related risks, particularly around non-human identities (NHIs) and privileged usage, and strengthens governance controls to limit the risks associated with shadow AI practices.

" The challenge is not simply to add AI, but to integrate it intelligently in order to strengthen identity and access governance. At WALLIX, AI is not an abstract promise — it is a practical tool to regain control, reduce risk, and reinforce trust, without ever compromising on security or sovereignty," said Wadiha El Batti.
