In today’s cybersecurity landscape, privileged access abuse is a critical issue, with an alarming 80% of breaches involving this form of violation, as highlighted by Forrester Research. High-profile incidents such as the SolarWinds, Microsoft Exchange, and Colonial Pipeline breaches underscore the need for robust security measures. The Zero Trust model has gained prominence following a U.S. Executive Order, emphasizing the importance of zero trust in securing privileged access.
A Zero Trust approach focuses on identity-centric security, ensuring that access is granted based on verifying who is requesting it, the context of the request, and the associated risk. This involves implementing least privilege access and just-in-time privilege elevation to minimize exposure. With the rise of cloud transformation, big data, and new technologies, modern Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions built on zero trust principles are essential in reducing breach risks.
