Empowering Security Through Privileged Access Management (PAM)

5. Cyber Pro

In today's rapidly evolving world of cyber security, one of the most critical elements of protection rests in the hands of a select group of individuals – privileged users. These individuals have special access to sensitive systems and data. However, with this access comes significant risks. As cyber threats become more frequent and sophisticated, it’s essential to ensure that only authorised personnel have access to vital resources.
In this presentation, we will discuss why managing privileged access is no longer just an option but a necessity for modern organisations. This management helps prevent internal threats and controls access for outside partners, forming the backbone of a secure system that assumes that no one can be trusted automatically.

We'll cover several important topics, including:

  • The increasing dangers associated with privileged access and why older security methods can’t keep up.
  • How effective access management acts as your organisation’s first line of defence, overseeing and regulating who can access what across the entire company.
  • Real-life stories of how managing access has helped businesses reduce risk, remain compliant with regulations, and protect their assets

By the end of the session, you will have a better understanding of how managing privileged access can transform your cyber security efforts and practical tips for integrating it into your organisation's security framework.
