Privileged Access Management (PAM) is a subcategory within the broader IT security market focusing on controlling and monitoring access to critical organizational resources. It encompasses cybersecurity strategies and technologies for exerting control over the enhanced access, or privileges, often granted to users, accounts, processes, and systems. PAM solutions are designed to prevent security breaches by securing, managing, and monitoring privileged accounts and access. These solutions often include password management, session recording, privileged user analytics, and fine-grained access control mechanisms to guard against internal and external threats. As IT environments become more complex with cloud services, virtualization, and mobile computing, the need for robust PAM solutions increases to protect sensitive data and comply with regulatory requirements.
