The report found that only 35% of enterprises have total visibility of which users actually have privileged accounts within their IT environments. 37% of businesses utilize reporting on privileged access account activity and only 34% can identify specific threats stemming from their privileged access users. Of enterprises that have suffered, or expect to soon suffer, a data breach 69% said they have no control over their privileged accounts and 53% said they manually control those credentials and accounts\u2014a significant time commitment. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Collective anxieties abound concerning how privileged account credentials and accounts are handled by their users. 60% of enterprises are concerned about the intentional malicious use of privileged credentials, 62% of those credentials being stolen via phishing. 57% say that employees writing down their credentials is a continual security problem, and 50% are worried about employees sharing their credentials amongst themselves. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bomgar\u2019s findings concerning third-party threat actors and insider threats were also compelling and surprising. 62% of businesses state that its possible or certain they suffered a data breach as a result of an insider threat, and 66% said the same as the result of a third party vendor. Yet 71% of enterprises reported an increase in third-party vendor integration of 20% or more. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The issue with privileged access boils down to visibility. Without a suitable PAM solution, rogue or orphaned privileged accounts will proliferate and reckless credential behavior will persist putting your enterprise\u2019s data and reputation at risk. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can download the Bomgar <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bomgar.com\/resources\/whitepapers\/privileged-access-threat-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2018 Privileged Access Threat Report<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> here.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"widget\"><div class=\"aside-card\">\t\t\t<div class=\"textwidget\"><p><a class=\"iam-inject\" href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/get-a-free-privilieged-access-management-solutions-buyers-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1682\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/files\/2020\/01\/PAM_BG_SB_800.gif\" alt=\"Download Link to Privileged Access Management Buyer's Guide\" width=\"800\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Privileged access management (PAM) solution provider Bomgar released the results of their global 2018 Privileged Access Threat Report.
