 | A report by a leading industry analyst firm has stated that there are five key solution areas for privileged account management (PAM) However, according to a recent BeyondTrust survey, 'Privilege Gone Wild 2', only 40% of respondents have deployed at least some of these capabilities enterprise-wide, with 30% having no solutions at all. With the number of threats that are possibly based on excessive privilege rights, such as the ability to steal credentials, the ease of access to sensitive data, and an increase in the harm that can be done by malicious insiders, companies must do a better job at protecting company assets, says BeyondTrust. But there was also some good news. "While several stats in this year's survey revealed the amount of work that needs to be done in the PAM space, it's encouraging to see the trend of organisations' security and IT ops teams willingness to work together to better manage the risks associated with excessive privileges," said Scott Lang, director of privilege strategies, BeyondTrust. | ||
