Privileged Access Management (PAM) | Professional & Managed Service

WHAT IS Privileged Access Management?

Privileged Access Management (PAM) is a vital cybersecurity discipline focused on controlling and securing privileged accounts within an organization's network. As a top security priority according to Gartner Research, PAM aims to reduce the risk of cyberattacks by managing who can access privileged accounts and what actions they can perform once logged in.

PAM involves various components, such as privileged account discovery and inventory, access control enforcement, session monitoring, privilege elevation and delegation management, and privileged password management. These components work together to establish a comprehensive framework for managing and securing privileged access across the organization.

By implementing effective PAM practices, organizations can strengthen their security posture, prevent insider threats, increase resiliency against data breaches, achieve regulatory compliance, and protect sensitive information from unauthorized access. PAM plays a crucial role in maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical systems and data, ultimately safeguarding the organization's overall cybersecurity.
