Introduction

Why PAM?

Privileged Account Management (from this point forward: PAM), allows you to manage accounts that are necessary to perform scheduled configuration and maintenance tasks, as well as supervening tasks such as the recovery of a hardware or software failure or the restoration of a backup. Due precisely to the need to use these accounts in an unplanned manner, their management must combine security, procedures and flexibility. PAM is the process of determining who has access to what types of information as it creates an integrated view of risk, threats, and controls.

PAM is considered by many analysts and technologists as one of the most important security projects for reducing cyber risk and achieving high-security ROI.
