Six signs that you need a privileged account and access management system.
- You wrote admin password on the office whiteboard. WIFI Password was already there but the admin one crossed the line
- Your employees carry Excel files with passwords. Moreover, you distributed some of them yourself as a part of the new employee welcome package
- Contractors work remotely to maintain your equipment. Someone even found an operating modem in the datacenter to provide access for one of the vendors
- You need to comply with regulations. You noticed an auditor in the office but not sure is it about NIST.SP.800-171, NIST.SP.800-55,ISO 27001,HITRUST or 21 CFR part 11
- You do not remember changing factory default passwords. Who would have known that a surveillance camera has a password?
- You call your admin too often. Why does it take an admin to generate a quarterly delinquency report?
