Who are five Privileged Access Management Vendors to watch in 2020?
As we transition into both the new year as well as the new decade, we need to ask new questions. What does identity and access management look like in the coming year? How can enterprises manage and monitor their privileged users and their workflows? Which capabilities can help ensure the authenticity of privileged users, and that their permissions match their roles in the enterprise?
Of course, next-generation Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions work to answer all of these questions and more. These solutions aim to enforce the Principle of Least Privileges, monitor privileged sessions, and mandate strong authentication protocols. Since hackers won’t give up on trying to steal privileged credentials in 2020, PAM proves increasingly vital to healthy enterprise functioning; after all, a single compromised privileged credential can compromise your sensitive data, finances, or your entire network.
PAM solution providers continually innovate their products and services to both combat threat actors and workflow inefficiencies. Therefore, to prepare you for the new year, we’ve compiled the five privileged access management vendors to watch in 2020! Here they are, in no particular order:
