We use OKTA, Cyberark and Azure PIM stacked to require multiple validations and confirmations before anyone can get into our cloud stack with elevated permissions.

We’ve implemented One Identity’s Privileged Access Management (PAM) and Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions to support our Zero Trust strategy. These tools help us strictly manage and monitor privileged accounts, enforce just-in-time access, and consistently align user permissions with business roles.

By centralizing controls and routinely auditing privileged sessions, we’ve been able to significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access. Additionally, the automation features have streamlined access reviews and policy enforcement, saving our team time while maintaining a strong security posture.

If you have any more questions or would like details on specific configurations, I’m happy to continue the discussion.
