This guide breaks down the types of compliance audits (regulatory, security, financial, and operational), the frameworks they map to, and the real challenges most teams face, like privileged access sprawl and manual tracking.
Segregated compute is more than a checkbox; it’s a core requirement in frameworks like PCI DSS, HIPAA, and FedRAMP. At its simplest, it means no user should ever connect directly to sensitive workloads. Every connection must be isolated, controlled, and auditable.
This guide is your merger and acquisition security checklist, a 7-day playbook for securing privileged access during M&A. It’s built on lessons from enterprise CISOs, industry best practices, and what we see every day at StrongDM.
Discover how role-based access control (RBAC) tools from identity providers to cloud IAM and workflow systems work together to enforce least privilege, streamline approvals, and deliver secure, auditable access across modern infrastructure.
The way that people work continues to evolve, and as a result, so do the ways that they must authenticate into their organization’s resources and systems. Where once you simply had to be hardwired into the local office network, now you must expand your perimeter to include remote and hybrid workforces, on-prem and cloud environments, and take into account a growing list of factors that impact how and where people access critical company resources.
Privileged Identity Management (PIM) is a complex cybersecurity approach. But it’s the only proven method you can use to lock down access and protect your precious resources. It can help you keep cybercriminals out and ensure that even your trusted users can’t accidentally—or intentionally—jeopardize your system’s security.
Understanding the pillars of access control and following best practices for PAM gives you a roadmap to an implementation that is secure and comprehensive with no security gaps. This article contains nine essential privileged access management best practices recommended by our skilled and experienced identity and access management (IAM) experts.
