Challenge Organizations undergoing digital transformations are dealing with amplified concerns around risk and security, which isn’t surprising. Digital transformation initiatives inevitably result in more points of access to enterprise infrastructure that are outside of existing controls, accessible by a greater number and more diverse set of identities, and proliferated across a distributed and dynamic infrastructure. Opportunity Knowing your privileged users is knowing your risk. Privileged access management tools themselves must be able to support automation in the authorization process and enable scalability through support for both dynamic operations and ephemeral infrastructure. Benefits Better pinpointing attacks exploiting credential theft isn’t simply a question of accumulating more data but involves incorporating better data about privileged user behaviour, which can identify significant changes that represent real risk.

La sfida Come ci si può aspettare, le aziende che intraprendono un percorso di digital transformation devono affrontare maggiori problemi correlati a rischi e sicurezza. Le iniziative di digital transformation aumentano inevitabilmente il numero dei punti di accesso all'infrastruttura aziendale che sfuggono ai controlli esistenti, sono accessibili a un numero superiore di set di identità diversi e proliferano all'interno di un'infrastruttura distribuita e dinamica. L'opportunità Conoscere i propri utenti con privilegi significa conoscere i rischi. Di per sé, gli strumenti di privileged access management devono essere in grado di supportare l'automazione nel processo di autorizzazione e garantire la scalabilità attraverso il supporto di operations dinamiche e infrastrutture effimere, come gli account amministrativi Amazon Web Services (AWS) per le identità umane.
