This, as we know, is much easier said than done. A good CISO, in fact, comes to work every morning assuming that a breach has already happened, with a view to fixing any vulnerabilities and securing the system to the highest standard possible. Every single day.

For the military, this means that sensitive information is only given to those who need that information to perform their duty. In cybersecurity, it’s much the same idea. The ‘least privilege’ principle involves the restriction of individual user access rights within a company to only those which are necessary in order for them to do their job. By the same token, each system process, device, and application should be granted the least authority necessary, to avoid compromising privileged information.

Oh, how true that was, and still is, a quarter century later. Chances are, artist Peter Steiner had no idea how prescient his drawing was. We are indeed in the Internet dog days, of identity access management (IAM) and PAM at least.

Privileged users—as well as those impersonating them—can present major security threats. A [Privileged Access Management (PAM)](https://blog.wallix.com/privileged-account-management-definition?blog=yes) solution offers an answer. It enables security teams to stay on top of [privileged account](https://blog.wallix.com/privileged-account-security?blog=yes) access. To work, however, it must be a scalable PAM solution. The PAM solution must scale flexibly in a growing organization or suffer being disused, to the detriment of security overall. What does it take to build a scalable PAM solution? This article explores the answer to that question.

However, they’re also quite messy, in terms of security. Supply chains invariably connect users and systems from multiple entities, often in different countries. This setup exposes every company in the supply chain to cyber risk. Among countermeasures, [Privileged Access Management (PAM)](https://blog.wallix.com/privileged-account-management-definition?blog=yes) offers one of the best ways of minimizing supply chain vulnerabilities.
