Did you know that 74% of data breaches start with privileged credential abuse? In a world where cyber security is a major concern no matter which industry you’re in, it’s a constant balance to stay at the forefront of developments while ensuring you’ve deployed the right solution for your business. In Finance, this is even of more concern when you’re dealing with the livelihoods of individuals and businesses. So where to even begin this journey? Privileged account management (also known as PAM) has changed a great deal over the last twenty years, evolving repeatedly to keep pace with technological advancements, but regardless of these changes, it remains the first port of call when surveying a business’ security. Since privileged accounts are so powerful, a single misuse or compromise can lead to a data breach or costly business disruption. Even if you keep privileged credentials in a vault, the accounts still exist and can be compromised by attackers. How do you know that privileged activity is not putting your organisation at risk? Netwrix can help you reduce the risk inherent in privileged accounts.
