How can organizations ensure ongoing effectiveness of Defender PAM?

The ongoing effectiveness of Defender PAM (Privileged Access Management) can be ensured through regular reviews and updates of security policies. This process allows organizations to adapt their security measures to the evolving threat landscape, new regulatory requirements, and changes in their internal environments. By continuously reassessing and refining policies, organizations can address any identified vulnerabilities, improve user access management, and enhance overall security posture.

Regular reviews might include assessing the effectiveness of current controls, monitoring compliance with policies, and incorporating feedback from users and security audits. This proactive approach helps organizations stay ahead of potential risks and ensures that their PAM solutions remain relevant and effective in protecting against unauthorized access and potential breaches.

In contrast, ignoring user feedback would likely lead to ineffective policies that do not align with actual user experiences or needs. Implementing policies without proper training can result in poor adherence and understanding of security measures among users, reducing the overall effectiveness of the program. Lastly, restricting user access completely would not be practical for operational needs and could hinder productivity while failing to establish a balanced and secure access management strategy.
