“PAM isn’t just a security buzzword—it’s your first line of defense,” said Bert Blevins, spokesperson for BertBlevins.com. “If you don’t have a solid PAM strategy, you’re making it too easy for attackers to get in. This infographic simplifies the process, providing clear, actionable steps to keep your privileged access secure.”
The 30 Best Practices for PAM infographic covers:
- Enforcing least privilege to minimize risk
- Removing unnecessary admin accounts to reduce attack surfaces
- Implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA) for added security
- Monitoring privileged activity to detect suspicious behavior
- Automating credential management to eliminate human error
