The Business Case for PAM in the Public Sector
Simplified processes reduce the costs of providing needed services, and people want easy online access for convenience, yet governments making a push to digital transformation must understand that an increase in stored sensitive data and digital entry points increases the risk of cyberattack. The damage from a security breach increases with the volume and types of data stored.
One of the favored approaches to hacking organizations is to seek out user accounts with privileged access as an easy-in to sensitive systems. Controlling privileged access can be time-consuming, expensive, and ultimately inconsistent, without the use of a PAM solution.
Privileged access management can help prevent data breaches and pinpoint the source of any breaches that do occur.

Privileged Access Management:
Key to Compliance with the NIS/NIS2 Directives
Privileged Access Management is key to achieving compliance with the NIS/NIS2 Directives
Adopted on July 6, 2016, the NIS (Network Infrastructure Security) Directive was transposed by the European Union Member States on May 9, 2018. This guideline has helped to homogenize the long national security practices of Member States, as well as to strengthen the protection of Operators of Essential Services (OESs) and Digital Service Providers (DSPs) against cyber threats.
In view of the technological developments and the consequences of the health crisis, the European Commission decided to update this NIS Directive by presenting a new proposal on December 16, 2020, “the NIS2 Directive”.
This white paper explains the impact of the revised NIS Directive – also known as the NIS2 Directive – on the cybersecurity practices of critical or important European entities and demonstrates how privileged access, endpoint, and identity management solutions can already help them comply.
