Privilege Management, also called PxM (with the x for Access, Account, Identity, or User) is a key discipline within IAM. It is about protecting information and system against accidental and willingly abuse by privileged users. This is about high-privilege users like administrators and operators, but also about shared accounts including the technical and functional accounts. On the other hand, there are highly privileged business users which are typically managed by Access Governance solutions. There is Identity Provisioning which can be used to create accounts and to manage the “managers” of privileged, shares accounts. There is SIEM which can be used to analyze Privilege Management events and to correlate them with other events. Simply said: There are many systems around Privilege Management. Privilege Management is not an isolated solution, it is part of the larger IAM ecosystem. This panel will discuss about whether, how, and with which systems to integrate Privilege Management from a technical and the process perspective.
