Identity is now the number one attack vector. Attackers are bypassing outdated security controls, exploiting misconfigured identities, excessive permissions, and poor session management. Traditional PAM (Privileged Access Management) solutions weren’t designed for today’s dynamic, cloud-first environments.
A 2024 threat intelligence report found that credential-based attacks accounted for 38% of all data breaches—significantly more than phishing (17%) and exploits (16%). This shift highlights a growing risk for security teams: legacy PAM tools alone aren’t enough to stop identity-based threats.
Where are the biggest gaps in today’s PAM and identity security strategies?
Legacy PAM solutions that don’t scale – Traditional vault-based PAM was built for static infrastructure, not today’s hybrid-cloud and SaaS environments.
Mismanaged permissions creating hidden risk – Overprivileged accounts, orphaned identities, and excessive standing access leave the door open for attackers.
Fragmented identity controls – Security teams struggle to enforce least privilege consistently across hybrid environments, SaaS applications, and third-party access.
Session monitoring gaps – Without real-time insights into privileged activity, it’s harder to detect and prevent identity-based attacks before they escalate.
With identity now at the centre of the attack surface, organisations need a modern PAM approach that integrates with broader identity security strategies—ensuring access is continuously verified, monitored, and minimised.
This invite-only roundtable will bring together cybersecurity and IAM leaders to discuss:
- Why is traditional PAM no longer enough? – What are the key limitations of vault-based approaches, and how can modern identity security strategies address them?
- How can organisations implement a defence-in-depth approach to identity security? – What role do zero trust, just-in-time access, and continuous verification play in stopping identity-driven attacks?
- How can privileged access be secured without slowing down the business? – What are the best ways to reduce operational complexity while enforcing stronger identity controls?
Join an exclusive discussion with senior cybersecurity and IAM leaders to explore the future of modern PAM and identity security. Secure your seat today.
