After all, these credentials can access your enterprise finances, sensitive digital assets, and databases. Often, these accounts can actually remake or completely destroy your business processes or IT infrastructure if abused. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, as evidenced by the above findings of unearned confidence in privileged access management, enterprises continue to neglect their superuser accounts. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/privileged-access-management-tips-for-the-modern-enterprise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Previously<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Centrify also discovered 26% of U.S. enterprises couldn\u2019t even define privileged access. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">More distressingly, enterprises express this kind of confidence while still engaging in some of the most blatantly unsafe identity security behaviors known. For example, many still use manual methods to manage their privileged identities. Others, as many as 65%, actual share their privileged access credentials. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Don\u2019t let overconfidence define your identity and access management.
