Organizations that do not apply the zero trust model to protecting privileged users open themselves up to attacks by threat actors looking to access sensitive systems and networks.

"The Matrix" shows the damage that a rogue actor can cause by gaining privileged access to a digital environment. Privileged access management tools can help security teams keep their networks secure.

When it comes to cloud data protection, it's not just credit card numbers that need protecting, it's also the data that represents a majority of your company's value: your intellectual property.

Security analysts can nip many cyberattacks in the bud by monitoring for named pipe impersonation and other activity indicative of privilege escalation.
