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.
