Privileged Access Management (PAM) is a set of tools and strategies designed to manage, monitor, and secure privileged accounts and access. PAM focuses on safeguarding critical systems and sensitive data by enforcing least privilege, monitoring sessions, rotating credentials, and implementing just-in-time (JIT) access. It applies to both human users and machine identities.
