How does PAM handle privileged access in scientific research institutions?

PAM (Privileged Access Management) solutions are implemented in scientific research institutions to enforce strict control over privileged access to protect sensitive research projects. These solutions typically include features such as access control policies, audit trails, session monitoring, and identity verification mechanisms. By utilizing PAM, institutions can restrict access to critical systems and data, grant temporary privileged access when necessary, monitor and record actions taken by privileged users, and revoke access promptly when needed. This helps in safeguarding sensitive research data, preventing unauthorized access, and ensuring compliance with data protection regulations.
