Humans make mistakes. These mistakes
are often reversible, forgivable and
forgettable. But what about when an
innocent blunder enables an attacker to
gain a foothold on your network, exploit
powerful privileged accounts and take
control of your organization’s data?
People are an organization’s most
valuable resource. But they can also
be its greatest vulnerability, especially
when armed with weak credentials, all-
too-powerful privileged accounts and
security ignorance or hubris.
Most organizations focus ample security
resources on controlling and protecting
16
the boundaries of their networks, but
many pay inadequate attention to what’s
happening on the inside.
Once an outside threat makes it to
the inside, these organizations are ill-
equipped to identify, impede or stop it.
To combat today’s threats, organizations
must be able to monitor for suspicious
behaviour, take the destructive potential
out of users’ hands and become
“Privilege Ready.”
This white paper reveals strategies to help
your organization get Privilege Ready
by implementing the proper privileged
access management (PAM) program.
Being Privilege Ready will also help make
regulatory and security processes more
repeatable and automated. u
