As a former federal CISO who has spent decades designing and securing enterprise infrastructure, I’ve grown increasingly concerned as organizations continue to rely on legacy Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions designed for a different era. These systems, once the gold standard in security, have become dangerous liabilities in today’s modern cloud-native world.

We recently started a new blog series featuring our CEO and co-founder Rom Carmel. In this series, we discuss real issues from the field. So, check out what Rom Carmel has to say about the three complaints he hears the most in access management.

Recent studies indicate that more than 80% of organizations have experienced security breaches related to their CI/CD processes, highlighting the critical need for comprehensive access management strategies.

Identity management acronyms aren’t anyone’s idea of a fun day out, but successfully securing identities requires carefully stitching together each of these acronyms into a comprehensive identity security solution. In this article, we discuss AM, PAM, IGA, ADM – and how a unified identity platform (UIP) can help you tie them all together. Let’s start by defining each of these acronyms.

As organizations have transitioned from legacy IT infrastructure to cloud-native, ephemeral modern infrastructure, the needs of how privileged access is handled have shifted, too. Modern infrastructure presents unique challenges that legacy Privileged Access Management (PAM) tools, originally architected for more static environments, weren’t designed to handle. In this post, we explore why characteristics of modern infrastructure require a modern approach to PAM.
