What is PAM?
Privileged access management (PAM) refers to the process of managing and controlling access to privileged accounts and resources within an organization. Privileged accounts are those that have access to critical systems, data, and applications, and they pose a higher risk to an organization’s security if they are compromised.
Design
PAM is designed to mitigate the risks associated with privileged access by enforcing strong controls and monitoring access to privileged accounts. This includes providing granular access controls, monitoring and recording privileged access activity, and implementing multi-factor authentication and strong password policies.
Purpose
The purpose of PAM is to ensure that only authorized users are granted access to privileged accounts, and that their access is limited to what is necessary to perform their job functions. This helps to prevent data breaches and other security incidents that could result in significant financial and reputational damage to an organization. Additionally, PAM can help organizations meet compliance requirements for regulations such as HIPAA, PCI DSS, and GDPR.
Cyberark
Reduce the risk of cyber attacks caused by compromised credentials, insider threats, or malicious actors.
CyberArk Privileged Access Management (PAM) is a leading solution for securing and managing privileged access to critical IT assets. It provides comprehensive capabilities to protect against cyber threats by controlling, monitoring, and auditing privileged access to systems, applications, and data.
One of the critical benefits of CyberArk PAM is its ability to enforce the principle of least privilege, which restricts access to only those users and processes that need it. This reduces the risk of cyber attacks caused by compromised credentials, insider threats, or malicious actors.
CyberArk PAM provides real-time monitoring and alerts for suspicious activity, allowing security teams to detect and respond to potential threats quickly. It also supports integration with other security solutions and complies with regulatory requirements such as PCI-DSS and HIPAA.
