A guide to securing your privileged accounts
Privileged Account Management (PAM) has been placed at #1 for last two consecutive years (2018 & 2019) in Gartner’s Top 10 Security Projects. This is due to the fact that nowadays, with an ever-expanding infrastructure like on-premises, cloud, IoT, DevOps, mobile devices and SaaS Business Applications, classical Perimeter Security is not as effective as it used to be due to so many control points and gateways. Furthermore, privileged accounts exist on every asset and system out there, not forgetting about Non-Human Privileged Accounts that are even more difficult to monitor and track (e.g. vulnerability scanners, RPA, or Secrets in Jenkins, etc.)
