Data privacy is critical for every organisation, not just from the threat of potentially being fined but also from brand reputation and a customer’s trust in the business. Over the years PAM software has evolved from simply vaulting passwords to using proxy servers to handle those vaulted passwords, resulting in blurred lines between the distinction of Privileged Account Management and Privileged Access Management.

Despite this important change, the issue remains that there are many standing accounts in any network that have admin or other elevated privileges resulting in potential attacks.

So, what can we do to alleviate these problems with traditional PAM? The only way to solve the issue of standing privilege is to remove the privilege entirely when it’s not actively being used – and this is where Ephemeral Accounts come into play.
