Key Steps of Must-Have PAM Capabilities to Secure Identities and Access

Identity is the new perimeter— and privileged access management (PAM) is the keystone of modern identity and access security. The reality of today’s threat landscape is that: The attack surface continues to expand and evolve – As the traditional perimeter has dissolved, the privileged threat surface has vastly expanded and grown more complex. Privileges continue to proliferate and become exposed in new ways - Almost every attack today requires privilege for the initial exploit or to laterally move within a network—and privileges are everywhere. Identities are increasing in number and complexity and coming under attack from more angles than ever before. Attackers are rapidly advancing in agility beyond just simple automation - While many breaches can still be prevented by simple security fundamentals, machine Learning (M/L) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are changing the game, vastly enhancing attacker toolsets and empowering human-operated attacks. Join Beyond Trust to understand where to begin your PAM project, how to progress to a better security posture, and what business outcomes to expect. Raef will also explain the PAM basics that will mitigate most risks, highlighting the most important features and capabilities of a complete PAM solution to help you strengthen your Identity Security and account for every plane of […]
