The term ‘privileged access management – often interchangeable with ‘privilege account management – is a hot topic lately. It seems that nearly every day there is news of another data breach that eventually is tied to misuse or poorly protected privilege account credentials. Misuse of privilege access makes it is relatively easy for bad actors to gain access or steal sensitive data. Unfortunately, it often takes months, or even years, to detect and then investigate these incidents. By then, the thief and data are long gone.
