Privileged Account (Access) Management (PAM)
Privileged accounts are those with special permissions on a system, application, database or any other asset that can be used to perform any administration activity (Eg changing the configuration), or have full access to the data. Failing to manage and monitor the usage of the privilege accounts in a corporate environment or an organization could have serious consequences.
Once hackers or malicious actors find a way to get into a system or a network, they will be looking to compromise a privilege account to get access to those systems and information that they are not authorized. Privilege Account Management is an important topic in Cyber Security and a requirements for a lot of regulatory and compliance frameworks.
