Privileged accounts are the prime targets in cyberattacks, turning minor intrusions into major breaches. PAM is the essential security layer that controls and monitors elevated access to critical systems, reducing cyber risk by enforcing just enough access and removing excessive privileges.
In 2024, breaches at Ticketmaster and AT&T stemmed from unmanaged privileged accounts without MFA, causing massive data exposure. Attackers exploit these weaknesses to gain unrestricted privileged administrative access, often escalating privileges in under 40 minutes. Shelt Global’s managed PAM services help organizations secure these high-risk accounts before they become headlines by implementing a comprehensive privilege management policy and privileged session management.
PAM safeguards sensitive data by enforcing least privilege—granting users only the access they need, when they need it. It manages not just privileged users but also business privileged user accounts, service accounts, application accounts, and machine identities. Key features include credential vaulting, session monitoring, just-in-time access, and approval workflows, enabling secure remote access and privileged session monitoring to prevent privilege abuse.
Privileged accounts control critical infrastructure and sensitive resources. Research shows 80% of breaches involve privileged credentials, with 66% of social engineering attacks targeting these accounts. Over-provisioning and privilege creep increase the attack surface, while orphaned and local administrator accounts create hidden backdoors. Shelt Global’s PAM system automates password management and session monitoring to mitigate these risks.
Shelt Global offers comprehensive privileged account management as part of its managed cybersecurity services. From privileged risk assessments to 24/7 SOC monitoring, Shelt ensures continuous control, auditing, and compliance with regulations like GDPR and known other regulations. Their PAM solutions integrate with identity management tools such as Microsoft Active Directory and support cloud infrastructure entitlements management (CIEM) to remove excessive privileges.
Privileged access is the fastest route to a major breach, making privileged identity management (PIM) a critical component of any cybersecurity strategy. Shelt Global’s PAM solutions provide the granular access control and continuous monitoring necessary to secure your organization’s critical assets. By automatically restricting excess privileged access and removing standing privileges, Shelt Global helps prevent unauthorized admin access and minimizes the risk of a compromised account.
