What is Privilege Management?

Privilege Management (also known as Privileged Access Management or PAM) refers to the process of controlling and monitoring access to sensitive resources and data within an organization. It involves managing and restricting the elevated access rights (privileges) of users, accounts, processes, and systems to the minimum level necessary to perform legitimate tasks. Common use cases include preventing unauthorized access to critical systems, mitigating the risk of insider threats, and complying with regulatory requirements. Privilege Management solutions often include features such as password management, multi-factor authentication, session monitoring, and audit logging.
