Why it’s Time to Level Up Your Identity Security Landscape in PAM and Machine Identity?
As digital transformation accelerates, Privileged Access Management (PAM) must expand beyond traditional IT users to secure all identities—including developers, cloud engineers, and machine identities. Attackers increasingly exploit excessive permissions, misconfigurations, and weak controls in cloud and OT environments.
To mitigate risks, organizations should adopt Zero Standing Privileges (ZSP), enforce least privilege access, and integrate intelligent privilege controls for both human and machine identities. Strengthening authentication, centralizing secrets management, and ensuring compliance are essential steps to secure the evolving identity security landscape.
