Organizations can manage and secure accounts with access to vital information and processes using privileged identity access management (PIAM) systems.
The cybersecurity techniques and technologies known as "privileged access management" (PIAM) are used to exercise control over elevated ("privileged") access and permissions for users, accounts, processes, and systems throughout an IT environment. PIAM assists organizations in reducing their organization's attack surface and preventing, or at the very least mitigating, the damage caused by outside attacks as well as insider carelessness or misconduct.
Cross Identity’s PIAM module manages and secures privileged accounts and access within cloud environments. Privileged accounts have enhanced permissions that give users access to and the ability to carry out tasks essential to the smooth operation of an organization's applications in the cloud environment as most organizations are now moving to the SaaS module to improve elasticity and centrally monitored.
Moving PIAM to the cloud makes it more adaptable and has advantages like:
Universal Configurability: Cloud-based PIAM solutions can be controlled from any location with an Internet connection.
Scalability: A PIAM solution running in the cloud may grow to meet any size environment. The same solution works whether you have ten users to manage or ten thousand.
High availability: PIAM systems that run in the cloud offer increased uptime and, as a result, higher availability because cloud-based infrastructure guarantees minimal service interruptions.
