“Auditing becomes essential to ensure that administrators do not use productivity credentials for administrative purposes, which can open up the systems to hackers,” Christy says in a video interview with Information Security Media Group.

In this interview, Christy offers insights on:

  • Building a risk-based strategy to reduce exposure of privileged credentials;
  • The need for administering governance policies as part of a PAM framework;
  • Managing passwords of privileged users;
