PAM & CyberArk
Technical insights into PAM implementations, CyberArk architecture decisions and best practices from production projects.
Privilege Cloud vs. PAM Self-Hosted: When to Choose Which
The deployment decision for CyberArk revolves around two main axes: data sovereignty and compliance requirements on one hand, deployment speed and management complexity on the other. Privilege Cloud (SaaS) reduces operational burden and accelerates deployment. PAM Self-Hosted provides full control over Vault and infrastructure — necessary for organisations whose regulations prohibit storing sensitive data outside their control.
Service Account Management in CyberArk
Service accounts represent the most challenging and often least secured part of PAM programmes. Many organisations have thousands of service accounts with undocumented permissions and passwords that haven’t changed in years. PAM Xpert provides a structured methodology for discovery, onboarding and lifecycle management of service accounts.
