Privileged account security deals with the management and auditing of security accounts and data by authorized and privileged users. A privileged user is an account with administrative rights and access to critical organizational systems and resources. Such users have the authorization to add and delete other accounts and roles.
A Privileged Account Security solution provides a multi-layered security solution that includes privileged password management, session recording, least privilege enforcement and privileged data analytics to help organizations defend against advanced persistent threats and insider threats.
