PAM was built with one purpose in mind: to provide security guardrails for the access credentials with the most elevated

privileges of a select few.

In this guide, we’ll analyze the offerings of legacy PAM players and identify where their shortcomings can expose
enterprises to business and security risks, including:
- Where legacy PAM falls short
- The growing complexity of PAM
- Unmanaged privileged access risks
- And more.
