CyberArk is the enterprise standard for privileged access management, built for organizations with complex hybrid infrastructure and zero tolerance for credential risk. Symantec Privileged Access Management provides credential vaulting, session recording, and threat analytics for privileged accounts across hybrid infrastructure. We think BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access fits mid-to-large enterprises that need strong control over remote privileged sessions, especially third-party vendor access. Users highlight the session recording quality and the audit trail it produces for compliance reporting.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Moreover, digital transformation and the growth of artificial intelligence have increased the number of privileged users in the average network. Their elevated permissions are ripe for abuse, and many organizations struggle to track privileged activity across on-premises and cloud systems. This difference in security requirements is why PAM and IAM have diverged into separate, but related, disciplines. PAM programs use advanced security measures such as credential vaults and session recording to strictly control how users obtain elevated privileges and what they do with them.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
