No matter the size or industry, data breaches are on the rise. According to The 2018 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report breaches affecting small businesses, as well as industries like hospitality, and healthcare all grew at an alarming rate. In healthcare, for example, insider threats involving privilege abuse represented 74% of reported cases.
By now, I think everyone can agree that one of the simplest ways to protect your organization from an attack is to get control over all credentials and to pay special attention to privileged credential management. But if you’re like most IT organizations, you’ve also been tasked to do more with your existing budget and resources, so spending wisely and on solutions that scale is key. If you are relying on manual methods to manage privileged accounts or have a legacy privileged password management solution in place, or, if your rollout never seemed to get past ‘phase 1’— BeyondTrust can help.
