Without the sufficient investment of time, energy, and resources, enterprises will remain vulnerable to external hackers and insider threats exploiting their super-user permissions. Their proprietary data and digital assets will never be secure. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What will privileged access management in 2019 look like? What should enterprises invest in to strengthen their PAM stance? <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here are our predictions and conclusions: <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Privileged Access Management in 2019: Solution and Attitude<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Privileged access management solution provider <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/thycotic-releases-2018-global-state-privileged-access-management-pam-risk-compliance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thycotic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> released the findings from the \u201c2018 Global State of Privileged Access Management (PAM) Risk &amp; Compliance\u201d report. The report emphasized the importance enterprises attach to their PAM but also their difficulties in executing proper best practices: \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">80% of enterprises consider PAM an essential security concern. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">60% need PAM for their industry and regulatory compliance.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">62% fail to provision for their privileged access accounts. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">51% fail to enact secure logins for their privileged accounts.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">40% never look for all of their privileged accounts. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Of those that do, 70% fail to discover all of them. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In other words, privileged access management in 2019 will not simply rely on deploying the proper PAM solution (although that will be a crucial component). Instead, it will also rely on enterprise IT security teams utilizing the advantages of their PAM solutions to increase their visibility and secure their logins. Further, it requires enterprises to modify privileges policies to maximize those advantages. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>New Privileged Access Management Policies<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to a report by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/securityboulevard.com\/2018\/12\/5-key-takeaways-from-the-gartner-iam-summit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Security Boulevard<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, one of the key takeaways from the most recent Gartner Identity and Access Management Summit is the complexity of privileged access management in 2019. This complexity constitutes a major obstacle to enterprise adoption and execution. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Examples of these PAM policy complexities include static role privilege assignment and visibility. The former can impede enterprises\u2019 privilege escalation prevention efforts. Instead, Gartner recommends adjusting and converting to a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/identity-automation-just-time-access\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">just-in-time PAM policy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The latter concerns the blind spots arising from the proliferation of identities, endpoints, and cloud applications, which can still occur even with a PAM solution in place. Centralizing your privileged access management in 2019 should help reduce the number and extent of credential blind spots. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Reducing and Securing: A Balancing Act<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The most common advice among PAM solution experts and providers is to reduce the number of privileged access accounts on your network. On the one hand, this advice is sound. This tactic reduces the possibility of orphaned accounts with privileged permissions lingering on your network. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, individuals do need privileges to perform their daily duties, creating a floor of minimum privileged accounts in your enterprise. In these cases, your emphasis should be on securing these accounts. This can include multifactor authentication or a more granular approach based on the sensitivity of the work involved. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your privileged access management in 2019 needs to balance removing accounts and securing what can\u2019t be removed. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Limit Lateral Movement <\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sunil Kotagiri\u2014Co-Founder of security analytics vendor Seceon\u2014wrote extensively about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/security-information-event-management\/defend-lateral-movement-attacks-sunil-kotagiri-seceon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">lateral movement<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> attacks and how to limit them. His insights prove as true for privileged access management in 2019 as it is for security analytics. One way to do so for PAM is to reduce or otherwise eliminate remote admin permissions for crucial applications or databases. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Privileged Access Management in 2019: One Part of the Platform<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Overall, privileged access management works best as part of an overall identity and access management platform which also includes identity governance, cloud security, and authentication. Enterprises will need to ensure their solutions\u2019 integrate well together and can form a comprehensive identity security platform.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><br \/>Widget not in any sidebars<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Technology research giant Gartner spent the second half of 2018 emphasizing the importance of privileged access management for the enterprise.
