Privileged accounts: a challenge?
Privileged accounts are widespread in all IT environments, including the cloud. In fact, from IT administrators to privileged users to external suppliers, they all use their privileged accounts to access critical information systems. What's more, in many cases, these accounts have taken on a permanent nature. For your employees, the accounts represent a convenient and fast workflow. Cybercriminals, however, consider them to be interesting targets. If criminals get their hands on such authorizations, they can navigate through all kinds of servers undetected, gain access to confidential information, and make changes at the administrative level to business-critical applications and systems.
