How does PAM support compliance with PCI DSS?

Privileged access management (PAM) helps organizations comply with PCI DSS requirements for securing sensitive payment data by providing strict control and monitoring of privileged accounts that have access to sensitive information. PAM solutions typically include features like privileged account discovery, session management, credential rotation, and access controls, which align with PCI DSS requirements related to controlling access to cardholder data, maintaining access logs, and regularly monitoring and reviewing access to cardholder data. By implementing PAM solutions, organizations can enforce least privilege access, minimize the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive data, and demonstrate compliance with PCI DSS requirements.
