PAM overlooks the processes and technologies required for securing privileged accounts, enabling the supervision & control of privileged user activities once they log into the system.
What is Privileged Access Management (PAM)?
Privileged Access Management or PAM is an identity security solution that focuses on ensuring that only authorized individuals can perform critical tasks within an organization’s IT environment. These tasks include installing software, making changes to system settings, or accessing sensitive data.
PAM framework is an identity security solution that focuses on managing and securing identities that possess elevated permissions beyond those of regular users. This encompasses a strategic blend of people, technology, and processes. PAM restricts access to key accounts and continuously monitors them. The domain of Privilege Access Management (PAM) falls within the broader scope of Identity and Access Management (IAM) and identity security. Fusing IAM with specific PAM controls ensures a robust defense against evolving threats targeting identity infrastructure, safeguarding the enterprise’s most critical assets.

Privileged access refers to the special permissions granted to certain user accounts within an organization, allowing them to perform administrative-level tasks and access sensitive information beyond the reach of regular user accounts.
- Overseen by a privileged access manager.
- Essential for the maintenance and secure operation of IT systems.
