Privileged Access Management (PAM) creates an extra security layer that helps to reduce risk, eliminating unnecessary local admin privileges. It takes the credentials from admin accounts and puts them in a secure repository, minimizing the endpoints that can be accessed via local administrators and reducing potential access by unauthorized users.

IT Central Station’s PeerPaper based on real user reviews of One Identity Safeguard, highlights the best practices when selecting a PAM solution. These benefits include its ease of deployment and use, its transparency, scalability, and an ability to work with existing IT and business operations.
