Privileged Access Management - General Information on Barry University Password Manager
What is a Privileged Access Management System (PAM)?
Privileged access management (PAM) is a security system that provides more secure handling of user accounts and passwords by providing a cloud-based password storage that is centrally monitored. Is used to reduce risks by protecting access to Barry University resources, we are introducing Barry University Password Manager, an enterprise-grade Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution that will keep privileged access secure, traceable and manageable. A typical use of PAM would be the assignment of specific credentials for a resource that you would not typically have access to. A PAM system would store these credentials and keep them secure. This result helps better secure these resources and limit the amount of access to a certain resource.
Why Implement a Privileged Access Management System (PAM)?
PAM helps against:
- Lack of visibility and awareness of privileged users, elevated access, accounts, assets, and credentials
With a surge in cyber-attacks, specifically account based attacks. When an administrative account is compromised an attacker could have access to shut down critical resources. This is why PAM is so pivotal in adding that extra layer of account security.
