What is Privileged Access Management (PAM)?

Privileged Access Management (PAM) is a critical part of cybersecurity as it helps organizations manage and secure access to their most important systems and data. PAM provides improved visibility, increased productivity, better compliance, reduced malware spread and accountability by controlling and monitoring who can access privileged accounts. It is essential for implementing zero trust security strategies and defending against cyber threats. PAM also faces challenges such as complexity, user resistance, misconfigurations, potential system failures, and operational overhead.
