There are two sides of the PAM Coin. Password vaulting is one. Privilege Elevation is the other. A vault is a great first step in protecting your company from identity-related data breaches. When considering a mature Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution, and for best practices like Zero Trust and Zero Standing Privileges, you need a vault, and you need privilege elevation. You need both sides of the PAM coin. On the other side of the coin, effective control of administrator activity and access with privilege elevation combined with enforcement of strong authentication and identity assurance with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for all privileged access is equally as critical to achieve Zero Trust goals.
