Attacks are evolving as threat actors experiment with artificial intelligence (AI) tools and the cloud. This leaves them open to ever more complex and evolving attacks. Many businesses and agencies have added PAM solutions with limited results. New strategies for managing privileged accounts center on just-in-time (JIT) with zero standing privileges (ZSP) and identity analytics for managing risks related to granted privileges.

As cyberattacks speed up and become more complex, defenders need to do the same.
