Even your most secure information needs to be managed by somebody.

 

Privileged Access Management (PAM) allows you to keep track of system administrators and other users who have been granted access to your sensitive data and systems.

By keeping watch on the accounts with the highest permission levels, you focus your security on the highest risk access points and protect your organisation from malicious actors – inside and out.

The challenges of PAM:

Complexity

PAM is resource-intensive and time-consuming if you want to build the best defence. There’s a lot of thinking to do before you get to implementation, which normally means drafting in outside help and expertise.

Integration

You probably already have plenty of cyber security systems in place, which you’ll need to make sure that PAM integrates properly with.

Adoption

Getting your users to shift their working habits to a new policy is an art and a science. You need to consider the disruption of existing workflows and additional training, bringing people along for the ride so they understand the importance of PAM.

Investment

There’s a price to be paid for PAM, quite literally. Software and licensing costs can require significant investment, which will need justification and explanation to budget holders.

Maintenance

PAM needs upkeep, updates, patches, policy reviews, and permission changes. You’re going to need to build in the resources and processes, or look to outsource to a trusted partner.

Commercial deliver. We are fortunate to work with some amazing partners. Here are some examples of great things we hear every day.

The Tesco procurement team have been delighted with the way Commercial share our desire to entrench sustainability into our supply chain – we really are kindred spirits. Our ethical and sustainability policies are of paramount importance to our reputation and the Commercial team reviewed and approved all products in a short timeframe. Commercial are already committed to the ETI base code and are working on achieving EcoVadis accreditation for all suppliers on the Tesco account.

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

By using technologies like predictive and behavioural analytics, Privileged Access Management is getting smarter and more autonomous. Instead of being solely bound to a list of rules established during the setup, PAM can use AI and ML to spot inconsistencies or trends that – whilst not breaking those rules – can still be an indicator of malicious intent.

Context-Aware Access Control

We’re all familiar with the extra challenges presented to us when we try to log into our accounts from a new location or device, but when applied to PAM this technology can go much further. Machine learning algorithms can detect even the slightest change in context and present an additional verification challenge – like if users log in whilst on annual leave, or under circumstances that don’t match their regular patterns.

Automated Password Vaults

This technology automates the creation and management of privileged accounts, password vaults, and shared accounts, and allows users to securely access privileged accounts using their own credentials. This eliminates the need for manual management of passwords and reduces the risk of unauthorised access.

Commercial deliver. We are fortunate to work with some amazing partners. Here are some examples of great things we hear every day.

The new Walsall Housing Group office is a fantastic, fresh and modern workplace thanks to the wonderful work of the Commercial interiors team. They created a steering group to work alongside us to understand our demands and held regular meetings during the design process to keep us informed of the progress. Our desire was for a more collaborative space, with meeting booths and one-to-one seating, rather than traditional desks – and they delivered a fantastic final fit-out over the full four-floor building.
Each year, Commercial supplies accessory packs to graduate trainees at a leading accountancy firm, which are then picked, packed, and delivered to their home addresses by the Commercial Foundation. This not only guarantees that every new employee has the necessary equipment to be productive from their first day but also allows their IT team to focus on other responsibilities. Collaborating with the Commercial Foundation generates substantial social value returns on investment for the firm and contributes to improving the lives of the Foundation's volunteers.
Wollens have enjoyed a long-standing and fruitful partnership with Commercial because they are always introducing innovations and improvements to our IT environment. As the threat of cyber-attacks increases it was vital that we strengthened our capabilities for dealing with a ransomware attack with a cloud-based backup solution. Our solution means data cannot be altered or deleted, giving us a crucial way of recovering data to minimise any potential downtime and financial losses
Working with Commercial for our branded materials has proved to be effective and collaborative. The team is efficient and they listen to requests for improvements. Commercial has made branded goods simple.
As E-commerce in retail continues to grow, Commercial’s stock-management and fulfilment expertise has allowed a leading UK retailer to free huge amounts of warehouse space. Commercial took on the stocking of our employee uniform, transferring to a new supplier with the management of the supply being consolidated into their existing supply accounts. Not only did this free vital space in their distribution centre, the consolidated supply of all GNFR delivered significant delivery cost savings.
At JoJo Maman Bébé we are happy to work with the Commercial Foundation and support inspiring work they do to help disadvantaged young adults. Like us, the Foundation are a B Corp certified organisation that is proven to put purpose ahead of profits. We have enjoyed working with their volunteers to help with a mug-making activity. We are now working alongside them to create an introduction gift for our new employees, these include printed mugs, pens and notebooks.
