The Security Blind Spot: Privilege Misuse Drives Modern Breaches

Privilege-Led breaches are widespread and costly:

74% of breaches involve
misused or abused
privileged access.

 

 

PAM
Misconception:



PAM is often seen as a
standalone solution, not a
holistic strategy. Current
protocols often fail to
prevent insider threats and
PAM alone is insufficient to mitigate all risks.

Critical Blind Spot: Lack of Visibility & Impact Assessment:


Most organizations lack
visibility into privileged
access. 43% report over half their DevOps workflows are unsecured.

Consequence:




Incomplete security leads
to persistent risks and
significant business
exposure.

 

Current State of Business

IT/Developer Ecosystem Needs

  1. Server Access: Secure access to
    servers and application settings.
  2. Data Management: Controlled
    database and cloud account
    operations.
  3. Admin Privileges: Secure SaaS,
    cloud, and network access

Current Security Measures: Addressing Key Vulnerabilities

  1. Access Controls: Multi-factor
    authentication and RBAC offer
    baseline protection.
  2. Least Privilege: Permissions limited
    to job functions.
  3. Auditing: Monitoring privileged
    account activity

Major Risks in the Privileged Access Ecosystem

  1. Human Error: A leading cause of
    privileged access breaches.
  2. Rapid Lateral Movement:
    Compromised accounts rapidly
    spread.
  3. Difficult Detection: Widespread
    privileges hinder threat detection.
  4. Fragmented Solutions: Lack of
    holistic privileged access security.

ARCVISTA-NEXT GEN PRIVILEGE GOVERNANCE

Continuous Privilege Discovery

Organizations have 3-4x more accounts than employees. Identifying and managing the ones with privilege is a key concern area, leading to 74% of all breaches.

Insider Threat Detection: Identify over-privileged accounts and remove god-keys.

Privilege Creep (Blind Spot) Visibility

Offers better visibility into privileged accounts, addressing the fact that 55% of organizations lack awareness.

Misconfiguration & Drift: Visualize data access paths, prevent drift.

Data first approach

Starts by pinpointing where your sensitive data resides—in databases, cloud storage, or elsewhere. 

JIT/JEA-Reduce permanent access, enforce PAM.

Actionable Insights

Offer industry-standard mitigation steps during breaches, empowering users to respond effectively and fortify their security posture.

Compressive Assessment: Evaluate against industry standards like OWASP, MITRE ATT&CK.
