At the same time, due to digital and online infrastructures, sensitive information – critical to your operations – is frequently accessed by users, often remotely, to complete daily tasks, while cybercrime exploits privileged accounts and credentials at an all-time high via leaked passwords, phishing, and firewall penetration.
As a result, monitoring and protecting privileged accounts has become crucial.
So why it’s important to your organization?
Addressing privileged access is difficult because privileged accounts and access are granted not only to employees with direct, hands-on responsibility for system and network administration, but also to vendors, contractors, business partners, and others.
Most importantly, in many cases, privileged accounts aren't even people; they're applications or configuration files with hard-coded administrative credentials.
Not to mention that the adoption of hybrid environments is broadening the threat surface by introducing new attack vectors such as management consoles and APIs, which are frequently used with little to no security.
The solution
Therefore, you must address these challenges as soon as possible with a proven privileged access management solution that works across all IT resources, can scale to address the entire enterprise, and is not prohibitively expensive.
In an increasingly complex landscape, these threats can only be mitigated by a level-headed, state-of-the-art approach that protects sensitive admin credentials, controls privileged user access, proactively enforces security policies and closely monitors privileged user activity and patterns across all virtual, cloud and physical environments.
