Privileged Accounts, Hidden Threats: Why Privileged Access Security Must Be a Top Priority
Briefly

Many organizations focus solely on managing privileged access—rather than securing the accounts and users entrusted with it. This emphasis may stem from challenges in PAM deployments.
The next step in securing privileged access must become a critical focus, emphasizing the need to adapt to the evolving threat landscape and prevent trust from becoming a liability.
Despite its advancements, PAM remains limited and can't comprehensively address modern security threats. Relying solely on PAM is inadequate against sophisticated cyber threats prevalent today.
Organizations must employ a security-first strategy that integrates PAM with broader security practices to effectively counter threats such as lateral movement, credential theft, and privilege escalation.
