As a result, many companies take the ‘easy route’ by wantonly provisioning admin rights. However, this shortcut severely shortchanges security, and consequently, puts enterprises at jeopardy of security breaches and failed audits.
The Privilege Problem
As the average global cost of a data breach nudges up to $4 million, and the volume and sophistication of attacks continue their upward trajectory, IT security professionals are under pressure to stay one step ahead of malicious threats.
