Executive Perspective
Strategic insights for IT security leaders and CISOs: the business case for PAM, risk dimensions and investment priorities.
01
The Business Case for PAM: What Boards Need to Know
PAM is not merely an IT project — it is strategic risk reduction. 38% of data breaches exploit stolen credentials (Verizon DBIR 2024). Average cost of a security incident: $4.88M (IBM 2024). Mature PAM programmes measurably reduce the attack surface, support regulatory compliance and lower incident costs.
02
PAM Priorities: Where to Start When Everything is Important
In large projects with limited resources, the right prioritisation decides the outcome. The optimal starting point is always: identify and secure the highest-risk accounts first — Domain Controller administrator accounts, PKI infrastructure, backup systems. Then expand systematically according to a risk assessment.
