Buying Privileged Access Management: the Good, the Bad, and the Necessary

Protecting privileged credentials and securing privileged access are critical pieces of an IT security strategy; cybercriminals need to gain access to privileged accounts in order to infect endpoints, move laterally, steal data, and more. So, as you consider a Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution to help thwart attackers and improve security operations, what features should make your shortlist?

In this webinar, Microsoft Cloud and Datacenter MVP, Nick Cavalancia, leads a “buyer’s guide” discussion by covering the following considerations:

• Scope – What forms of privileged access used in your network need protecting?
• Management – What kinds of controls should be a part of privileged access?
• Visibility – Which methods of auditing and reporting are useful for ensuring security and compliance?

Then, get insights on modern, high-impact PAM capabilities from the PAM technology and innovation leader.
