From Trust to Process: Closing the Risk Gap in Privileged Access Control
High-privilege administrative accounts hold the keys to gain access to the most sensitive IT processes and proprietary data - yet this level of access is far too often based on little more than trust alone. In this whitepaper, Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) examines this critical issue in IT security administration in light of the approach to helping businesses move from a trust-based system to a secure, auditable process in order to provide a higher standard of control and better support for regulatory compliance.
Key Points
- Learn why the traditional trust-based approach to access for privileged users poses such a dangerous risk
- See why a secure approach to high-level access benefits more than security
- Find out how to move away from a trust-based system in favor of a secure auditable process for "privileged user" access
