Privileged accounts are special accounts with elevated permissions that provide users with control of a system, application, database, or any other resource. They enable individuals to carry out admin activities such as modifying configurations or accessing confidential information. If an organization is not able to manage and track how these accounts are utilized, the implications can be quite severe.
When attackers or hackers gain access to a system or network, they usually target privileged accounts. Why? Because with one of these accounts, they can view systems and sensitive information they shouldn't be able to view. That's why Privileged Account Management (PAM) is such a big thing in cybersecurity. It's also a major requirement for most regulatory and compliance frameworks.
At the completion of the course, you will have a good grasp of PAM's place in a secure IT infrastructure, and privilege access management tools and be prepared to implement these practices to safeguard your organization from both internal and external threats. Whether you are new to cybersecurity or wish to enhance your knowledge, this course will equip you with the skills necessary to securely and effectively manage privileged accounts.
