Title: Privileged Identity Management protects user accounts via PIM Solutions

Privileged Identity Management protects user
accounts via PIM Solutions
  • Sometimes, unscrupulous people steal the log in
    credentials of the employees of an organization
    in order to hack into the servers and steal the
    data. Compromised identities of employees are new
    threats for corporate organizations to counter.
  • Advanced cyber attacks are automated, persistent,
    and in 99 cases successful. Security of IT
    infrastructure cannot be guaranteed solely on the
    basis of firewalls because they can only react to
    previously identified threats. Once the attackers
    penetrate your computer system, they can easily
    explore the whole network and exploit unsecured
    privileged credentials as they wish.
  • Therefore, Identity Management is a solution to
    every threat that can arise due to compromised
    identity. It is defined as an administrative
    area, dealing with identification of individuals
    in a system (an enterprise) and controlling their
    access to resources within that system. Access is
    controlled by associating user rights and
    restrictions with the established identity.

What is Privileged Identity Management?
  • Privileged Identity Management (PIM) is
    subcategory of Identity Management. Its purpose
    is to focus on privileged accounts, important
    accounts used by the team of IT administrators or
    sometime, people in the top brass of the
    organization. It also focuses on select business
    users and applications that are crucial to the
    business operations of the organization.Privilege
    d accounts are targeted by external attackers
    surpassing firewall and malicious insiders (rogue
    employees) who have access to sensitive data.PIM
    Solutions ensure security for user accounts in
    the applications that are a part of IT
    Infrastructure.

How Privileged Identity Management works?
  • PIM Solution manages the lifecycle of the
    privileged credentials on any cross-platform
    enterprise through the following process
  • 1. Discovery stagePIM identifies and documents
    all critical IT assets, along with their
    privileged accounts and their interdependencies.2
    . RemediationPIM Solutions enforce rules for
    password complexity, diversity, change frequency,
    and synchronization of changes across all
    dependencies.3. DelegationPIM Solutions
    delegate access to privileged credentials in
    order to ensure that only authorized users or
    appropriate personnel, using the least privilege
    required, can log into IT assets.4. TrackingPIM
    creates Audits and alerts all potential threats
    so that the requester, purpose, and duration of
    each privileged access request can be documented
    and monitored.
