Understanding Privileged Access Management

Privileged Access Management (PAM) is a cybersecurity approach that involves the control and monitoring of users with elevated permissions within an organization's IT environment. It focuses on restricting and managing access to sensitive systems, data, and resources to prevent unauthorized usage, reduce the risk of insider threats, and ensure compliance with security policies and regulations. PAM tools enable organizations to secure, log, and audit privileged activities, providing a comprehensive method for safeguarding critical assets from misuse or malicious actions by privileged users.
