Protected: Controlling and Managing Privileged Access

A Primer on Privileged Access Management

Effective management of privileged accounts (sometimes called superuser accounts) and privileged access is becoming more and more critical. This is because security and compliance are driving forces behind most IT initiatives and privileged rights are the key – or downfall – to achieve both security and compliance. And in today’s complex, heterogeneous environments, native privileged access management (PAM) tools and manual practices are inadequate.This white paper explores the risks associated with privileged access, and explains how solutions from One Identity mitigate those risks with granular access control and accountability.This paper is intended for CIOs, IT directors and managers, security and compliance officers, and administrators, especially those who have not established firm control over all of their organizations’ privileged user access.
