When deciding between an on-premises or cloud-based Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution, a cloud-based PAM solution is recommended because it is easier to manage, highly scalable and cost-effective. Continue reading to learn more about the differences between on-prem and cloud PAM, the pros and cons of each and the important factors to consider when choosing the right solution for your organization.

As cyber threats continue to evolve, addressing cybersecurity challenges is more urgent than ever. Traditional passwords, long considered foundational to digital security, are increasingly vulnerable to sophisticated attacks like phishing and credential stuffing. With cybercriminals becoming more adept, businesses need more secure and reliable authentication methods. Enter passkeys – an innovative step forward in authentication technology.

Depending on the size of your organization, its needs, industry regulations and security risks, how often you review privileged access can vary. However, a best practice for most organizations is to review privileged access quarterly to maintain a strong security posture. Continue reading to learn more about the importance of reviewing privileged access regularly, best practices and how KeeperPAM streamlines privileged access reviews.

PAM ensures that privileged access is granted based on the principle of least privilege, continuous authentication and ongoing monitoring and auditing, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or privilege escalation.

Many users recycle passwords across multiple services, creating a ripple effect of risk when their credentials are leaked.
