Fortifying Cybersecurity: A Deep Dive into Contemporary Privileged Access Management Capabilities
Shanmugavelan Ramakrishnan [6]
Abstract: In an era where digital assets are the lifeblood of organizations, protecting them from unauthorized access and internal threats has become a top priority. Modern Privileged Access Management (PAM) tools have emerged as indispensable solutions to tackle these challenges effectively. This paper aims to provide an in - depth exploration of the capabilities offered by state - of - the - art PAM tools. These tools empower organizations to identify, manage, and fortify privileged accounts across their IT infrastructure. Key features encompass automated credential vaulting, regular password rotation, and robust session management to mitigate the risks associated with credential theft and unauthorized access. Additionally, PAM solutions enforce granular access controls, facilitate multi - factor authentication, and harness advanced analytics to detect and respond to anomalous activities swiftly. The seamless integration of PAM tools with Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems not only streamlines user provisioning but also enhances compliance reporting, ensuring adherence to regulatory standards. By harnessing the power of modern PAM tools, organizations can bolster their cybersecurity posture, neutralize insider threats, and successfully navigate the ever - evolving threat landscape of today.
