Abstract

PAM’s primary goal is to keep your organization safe from accidental or deliberate misuse of privileged credentials, the risks of which we have clearly defined. This threat is particularly relevant if your organization is evolving and experiencing change due to growth, new markets, and other business expansion initiatives. The larger and more complex your environment’s information technology systems become, the more privileged users you have. These include employees, contractors, remote, or even automated users.
