# Adaptive > Adaptive combines Privileged Access Management (PAM), Database Activity Monitoring (DAM), and Identity and Access Management (IAM) in one control plane. It governs access to databases, servers, Kubernetes, cloud accounts, and applications for people, workloads, service accounts, and AI agents, with just-in-time privileges, data protection, and an identity-based audit trail. The website describes this as security hyperconvergence: identity, data, infrastructure, access, and governance managed together. Adaptive brokers connections so users and agents can work through their existing clients, the Adaptive CLI, a browser, or MCP without receiving downstream credentials. Infrastructure access and data protection apply within the same session. The current homepage headline is "Unlock security hyperconvergence." Pricing is scoped to each organization rather than sold in fixed tiers. ## Text References - [Full Website Reference](https://adaptive.live/llms-full.txt): Expanded product, platform, use-case, integration, and pricing information in plain text. ## Core - [Home](https://adaptive.live/): Security hyperconvergence: identity, data, infrastructure, access, and governance in one control plane. - [Platform](https://adaptive.live/platform): How brokered access, policy checks, approvals, data activity monitoring, and audit work together. - [Enterprise](https://adaptive.live/enterprise): Centralized access governance, access reviews, SSO, compliance evidence, and self-hosted, hybrid, or managed deployment. - [Adaptive CLI](https://adaptive.live/cli): Brokered access from the terminal and CI pipelines; request binaries and workspace installation instructions from Adaptive. - [Pricing](https://adaptive.live/pricing): Custom pricing based on modules, deployment model, identities, and resources.
