Privileged access is the key to a company’s most important assets, and it’s at the core of almost every major security breach today. It doesn’t take long for someone to mistakenly click on a phishing email connection or attachment, or download malicious code into their computer, to start a chain reaction across the network. Privileged access management (PAM) is critical for stopping them.
When companies broaden their digital transformation strategies to involve items like robotic process automation (RPA), they add thousands of new non-human identities that need privileged access and, as a result, the attack surface grows. As organizations adopt Zero Trust structures, managing all of these identities becomes increasingly necessary.
