Editor's note

All companies of varying sizes have privileged users with accounts that give them the ability to critically affect how the company's entire system is running. Privileged access management should be an important ongoing process in every enterprise, as it can prevent user accumulation of privileges, promote the security principle of least privilege and impede the abuse of user credentials. Learn from Michael Cobb, founder of Cobweb Applications, how to keep user roles and privileges aligned and what checks and balances prevent privilege abuse and data breaches.
