With the advanced capabilities of today’s cyberattacks, If an intruder is determined to break into your network, he will. It doesn’t matter how many perimeter defenses you build around your IT environment.

One of the most common ways cybercriminals get into systems is through unsecured privileged accounts. These powerful accounts provide the access needed to view and extract sensitive data, alter system configuration settings, and run programs. Today's cyberattacks can exploit just one unsecured privileged account to get free reign on your network and control over your private data.

Compounding the problem, in large enterprises there are usually so many privileged accounts that many organizations don’t even know where all their privileged accounts reside – or who can access them. And if you can’t find them, you can’t secure them.
