Make no mistake - there is no pillar of effective information security more important than privileged access management.
There exists one layer of controls that, if implemented successfully, can significantly influence security outcomes. This layer pertains to how we manage, or fail to manage, those privileges that enable managerial or administrative changes to our environments. This privileged access management (PAM) is dependent on other factors, including how well we coordinate all authorized Identity Access Management (IDAM) and manage IDAM itself.
