Which tools can enhance the security strategy when used alongside Defender PAM?

Using firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and endpoint security solutions alongside Defender PAM significantly strengthens an organization’s security strategy. Firewalls serve as a barrier between a trusted internal network and untrusted external networks, regulating incoming and outgoing traffic based on predetermined security rules. This not only helps in preventing unauthorized access but also provides a first line of defense against external threats.

Intrusion detection systems (IDS) play a crucial role in monitoring network traffic for suspicious activity and vulnerabilities. They complement Defender PAM by identifying potential breaches or anomalies that may go unnoticed, ensuring that any suspicious actions involving privileged accounts are promptly detected.

Endpoint security solutions are designed to protect end-user devices, such as computers and mobile devices, from exploitation. By securing endpoints, an organization can safeguard against threats that may arise from compromised devices, which could potentially lead to unauthorized access to privileged accounts managed by Defender PAM.

Combining these tools with Defender PAM creates a multi-layered security strategy that not only manages and secures privileged accounts but also protects the network and endpoints from various types of cyber threats.
