Privileged Access Life-Cycle Management How PALM Enables Security, Compliance, and Efficiency for Enterprise IT

Strengthening security, maintaining compliance, and achieving efficiencies and economies of scale are top-of-mind issues for enterprise IT executives. In this paper, IDC examines the role of Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions in addressing these needs and specifically looks at the role Privileged Access Life-Cycle Management (PALM) can play in helping heterogeneous organizations proactively refine their strategies regarding privileged access management controls, cross-platform monitoring, and automated workflow capabilities. This paper also examines the role that BeyondTrust, formerly Symark International, has in the market for PALM solutions.
