Even the simplest mistakes can leave your data wide open to cyber threats. If the worst happens and there’s an attack, cybercriminals gain free-for-all access to your cloud resources. They tamper with your data, disrupt workflows, and steal sensitive information, meaning the need for Privileged Access Management (PAM) best practices are more indispensable than ever for any robust cloud security strategy.

It’s 9:00 AM, and your team is ready to tackle the day. But before they can start, access issues rear their ugly head. A developer can’t get into the staging server and IT is buried under a mountain of permission requests. Sounds familiar? Employees lose up to five hours weekly on IT access issues, while IT teams spend 48% of their time handling manual provisioning. These inefficiencies cost both time and valuable progress. So, how do you fix it?

Security professionals must solve a big challenge – protecting against insider threats while keeping operations running smoothly.

It’s not that often that a story about a Joiner-Mover-Leaver (JML) failure makes the international news. But throw in an insider threat actor making potentially life threatening changes to the impacted systems and it becomes quite the doozy. Especially when the company at the center of the story is Disney.
