For security teams managing their enterprises’ privileged access management (PAM) programs, times have changed and what’s considered a privileged or high-risk account has drastically shifted. In turn, the way organizations not only manage privilege, but comprehensively secure it, must also shift. Historically, organizations have managed their PAM programs by vaulting and rotating credentials on privileged accounts.

As organizations navigate the ever-evolving landscape of cloud computing and digital transformation, security remains a top priority. With the exponential growth of users, devices, and data in cloud environments, effective identity and access management is crucial to maintaining a strong security posture.

Do your house guests still have access to your home after they’ve left, or overstayed their welcome? No, right? You would throw them out or take the keys back because they no longer require access. Guests in Azure are like house guests. Once they no longer need access, it's then time to take back the key so they no longer have access to the company's data and connected apps. Yet many organizations are inadvertently leaving themselves at risk of supply chain attacks.

In my days of AD administration, there was always a need for a select set of sysadmins to be granted high levels of permissions. In AD, this is typically a separate user admin account that is a member of the Domain Admins Active Directory group. There are a few other groups that are highly privileged(i.e. Enterprise Admins and Schema Admins) but the permissions required by these groups are generally more specific and therefore less populated.

In today's interconnected and rapidly evolving digital landscape, managing and securing identities within an organization has become paramount. The traditional approach to identity governance and administration (IGA) often falls short, leading to inefficiencies, security vulnerabilities and compliance challenges. However, with the advent of cloud-based IGA solutions, businesses can now unlock a new level of power, scalability and flexibility.
