Unix and Linux build the foundation for most business-critical systems. Thus, they present target-rich environments for cyber-attackers. Privileged Access Management (PAM) helps to mitigate such risks. To succeed, security teams must follow an integrated approach, covering both privilege elevation and centralized management of shared account credentials.

  • Download this whitepaper to learn discover:
  • Why PAM strategies must focus on both limiting privileged access and avoiding the sprawl of passwords;
  • Why Integrating Shared Account Password Management (SAPM) and Controlled Privileged Elevation and Delegation Management (CPEDM) is a must for covering the most challenging PAM threats;
  • The specific challenges that Unix and Linux systems pose that distinguish these environments from other widely used platforms.
