Why is Privileged Access Management Important?
Imagine you’re living in a big house full of people ( family) and everybody has access to almost every room of it. But, then there is one safe room containing all your important documents and extremely precious assets. Would you be comfortable sharing its access to all? Or would you prefer to keep it safe, closed, and accessible to only you?
Chances are even that you will set a monitoring system for it too. This is exactly why and how privileged user monitoring is needed and works in organizations too.
What Do You Mean by Privileged Access?
An organization consists of a set of employees working together to achieve goals. In this process, some have access to the organization’s most crucial data. This is often the most sensitive and vital information of the organization and needs some monitoring while accessing so as to avoid any unauthorized access and threat.
Records defined under the case of sensitivity can change from one business to another. For example, an organization dealing in the industry of tracking down human behavior can have data containing the most crucial information that are grounds of their functioning (for data analysis). This is sensitive data that requires privileged access and monitoring.
Another section in an organization that requires privileged access is the IT department that maintains complex employee data. (Monitoring of this department is common in all organizations).
Hence, anybody who is accessing the crucial data of the company should come under the umbrella of ‘Privileged User Access’.
