Exploitation of privileged accounts is a prime vector for breaches. Cyberinsurance companies are demanding the use of PAM tools. Effective PAM is more important than ever. Security and risk management leaders can use this research to compare the effectiveness of PAM tools.
As last year, many vendors are offering SaaS-delivered privileged access management (PAM), with some moving toward a model that emphasizes their cloud offerings over software-delivered PAM.
Several vendors are beginning to position themselves as providers of converged identity platforms, but the effectiveness of this approach is generally contingent on embracing a single-provider approach.
Interest in secrets management has continued to grow as more vendors add this functionality to their PAM products, albeit with varying degrees of success.
Cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM) remains a growth area, with almost half the vendors surveyed offering at least some notable capabilities in this area.
