Why Do You Need a Privileged Access Management Program?

Granting select users with high-level access privileges is a double-edged sword that enables smoother operations while also increasing the risk of data breaches. Our managed PAM helps you mitigate security risks without interrupting business workflows.
 
Some users in your organization need high-level access to resources to do their work. However, unauthorized access to just one privileged account can mushroom into catastrophic consequences.
 
So, how do you know what these users do with their user credentials? And how do you make sure that user access privileges are handled responsibly? Optiv’s fully managed privileged access management solution monitors your privileged accounts and offers visibility into:

 

  • Who uses privileged access logins
  • Where are the privileged users located
  • What tasks do privileged users perform
  • When do privileged users log in and perform tasks
  • How do the actions of privileged users impact security

 

Such a degree of monitoring will complement your existing manual admin processes. For example, Optiv’s PAM services will help your IT security team automatically track credential misuse and potential ransomware threats.

Privileged accounts are the #1 attack vector. Where 20% of data breaches stem from stolen or compromised credentials and $4.5 million is the average cost of breaches caused by these attacks.

Managed PAM vs. PAM-as-a-Service (PAMaaS)

 
When looking for a PAM solution, many organizations end up evaluating between managed PAM and PAM-as-a-service options. PAMaaS, like many SaaS models, offers rapid implementation, cost benefits, scalability and ease of use. Managed PAM not only offers the benefits of PAMaaS, also includes maintenance, upgrades and software integration to create better workflows, as well as offering greater expertise, security and consistency.
