What is Privileged Identity Management?

Every organization has to assign privileges to its user accounts. Good security practice requires each account to have only the privileges necessary for the role it’s assigned to. Ideally, that means only a few accounts have wide-ranging privileges capable of significantly changing the organization’s security configuration. These typically include systems administrators, database administrators, and service accounts. These accounts are especially vulnerable to security and compliance risks.
