Even the simplest mistakes can leave your data wide open to cyber threats. If the worst happens and there’s an attack, cybercriminals gain free-for-all access to your cloud resources. They tamper with your data, disrupt workflows, and steal sensitive information, meaning the need for Privileged Access Management (PAM) best practices are more indispensable than ever for any robust cloud security strategy.

Your organization can achieve zero-standing privilege by following best practices such as enforcing least privilege access, implementing Just-in-Time (JIT) access and continuously monitoring and auditing privileged access. Following these best practices ensures that privileged access is granted only when necessary, and for the shortest duration possible, significantly reducing your organization’s attack surface and enhancing overall security.
