Privileged access management (PAM), an identity security solution, aids in defending organisations from cyber threats by monitoring, detecting, and obstructing unauthorized privileged access to vital resources. PAM offers you visibility into who is using privileged accounts and what they are doing when logged in by combining people, procedures, and technology. System security is strengthened by restricting the number of people who have access to administrative operations, while additional layers of protection lessen data breaches by threat actors.

Importance of Privileged Access Management:

• Reduce the probability of a security breach. A PAM solution aids in limiting the scope of any breaches that do happen in your system.
• Reduce threat actors’ access points and routes. People, processes, and applications with restricted rights are protected from both internal and external threats.
• Thwart malware assaults. Removing excessive rights can assist stop the spread of malware if it manages to get a foothold.
• Increase the environment’s suitability for audits. Utilize activity logs to track and identify unusual behavior and develop a thorough security and risk management plan.
