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.

From manufacturing to healthcare, every business encounters the challenge of both preventing and detecting these risks. But what exactly *is* Insider Threat? What does it mean for business?

As the people who can access the administrative back ends of critical systems, privileged users represent a potential threat vector. After all, they can get into confidential data, account settings, and system configurations. Equally or even more important to security than privileged users, however, is the concept of the privileged account. A privileged account is the actual mechanism by which a privileged user gains access to administrative controls. Having a [privileged account security](https://blog.wallix.com/privileged-account-security) solution in place is thus an essential practice for the maintenance of a robust security posture.

When it comes to the security of your data and infrastructure, visibility and control are paramount. You can put in place all manner of corporate policies and password rules, but oversight of administrator actions and the ability to review past activity are paramount for both peace of mind and compliance with stringent cybersecurity regulations.

While the [data breach fatigue](http://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2018-07-06/data-breach-fatigue-ticketmaster-ticketfly-linkedin/9943720) is real, organizations from every sector need to ramp up their IT security practices.
