What is PAM?
Privileged Access Management addresses one of the highest risk areas in enterprise security the accounts that hold the keys to the kingdom. Privileged accounts include system administrators, database administrators, network engineers, and service accounts that have the ability to make sweeping changes to systems, access sensitive data, and bypass normal security controls. PAM solutions provide a secure vault for storing privileged credentials, enforce just-in-time access to eliminate standing privileges, record and monitor all privileged sessions for audit purposes, and automatically rotate passwords to prevent reuse. Organizations that implement PAM dramatically reduce the risk of privilege abuse by both external attackers and malicious insiders. CyberArk is the industry leading PAM platform and a key technology in Sennovate’s IAM practice.
