Privileged Identity Management (PIM) is a complex cybersecurity approach. But it’s the only proven method you can use to lock down access and protect your precious resources. It can help you keep cybercriminals out and ensure that even your trusted users can’t accidentally—or intentionally—jeopardize your system’s security.

What Is Zero Trust Data Protection?
Zero Trust Data Protection isn't just the best way to safeguard your data — given today's advanced threat landscape, it's the only way. Assuming inherent trust just because an access request is inside your network is just asking for a breach. By implementing the latest tactics in authentication, network segmentation, encryption, access controls, and continuous monitoring, ZT data security takes the opposite approach.

With so many advanced cyber attackers lurking on the threat landscape, a simple password is no longer enough to safeguard your sensitive data. There are many reasons to adopt MFA for your business. It supplements your security by requiring additional information from users upon their access requests—and it significantly reduces your risk of incurring a breach. Several multi-factor authentication methods are available, with varying strengths and weaknesses. Be sure to compare the differences when selecting the best fit for your operations.

By focusing on how actions are authorized, StrongDM is giving customers a more effective approach to enterprise security. Our policy-based action control ensures that, in addition to access, every user action is scrutinized, delivering a higher level of security tailored to meet the complex demands of modern enterprises.
