PAM Privilege Access Management

Privilege Access Management (PAM) is a cybersecurity approach focused on securing, controlling, and monitoring privileged access to critical systems and sensitive information. PAM solutions, like those provided by Delinea, limit and manage high-level access by enforcing least-privilege principles, granting users only the minimum access necessary to perform their tasks. PAM tools monitor privileged user activity, rotate and manage privileged account credentials, and enforce multi-factor authentication to prevent unauthorized access. By reducing the attack surface, PAM is vital in defending against insider threats, minimizing the potential damage of compromised accounts, and ensuring compliance with security regulations, making it essential for protecting an organization’s most sensitive assets.
