What is Privilege Identity Management?

Privileged Identity Management (PIM) is a security concept focused on managing and monitoring accounts with elevated access rights (privileges) within an IT environment. It is commonly used to restrict, control, and audit access to sensitive resources, thereby reducing the risk of insider threats and external attacks that exploit privileged accounts. PIM solutions often include features such as just-in-time access, multi-factor authentication, and session monitoring to ensure that privileged access is granted only when necessary and is properly supervised.
