PAM Power-Up: How Privileged Access Management is Winning the Cybersecurity Game
The Keeper Security Insight Report reveals that 49% of organizations with privileged access management (PAM) report fewer security incidents. As the digital jungle grows wilder with cloud and hybrid environments, PAM is the trusty machete. But beware, implementing PAM can be as tricky as deciphering your grandmother’s secret recipe!
Hot Take:
You’ve heard of VIP access, right? Well, in the world of cybersecurity, that’s what Privileged Access Management (PAM) is all about. But instead of getting front-row seats at a concert, you’re getting prime protection against cyberattacks. Keeper Security’s latest report confirms that if you’re not managing privileged access, you’re basically leaving the door open for cybercriminals to waltz in and help themselves to your data buffet. So, unless you want to end up as the main course at the next cyber feast, it’s time to get serious about PAM.
Key Points:
– Nearly half of organizations with PAM report fewer security incidents due to privilege misuse.
– As 94% of organizations operate in hybrid/cloud environments, access controls must adapt.
– 44% of respondents cite implementation challenges as a barrier to PAM adoption.
– Over half of PAM users report improved protection of sensitive data.
– Credential theft remains a major threat, emphasizing PAM’s importance as frontline defense.
