What are the threats from ransomware?

Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions help defend against ransomware attacks by limiting and controlling who has access to privileged accounts and systems within an organization. By implementing PAM, organizations can reduce the risk of credential theft, misuse, and unauthorized access, which are common tactics used by ransomware attackers to gain a foothold in a network. PAM solutions enforce strong authentication, session monitoring, just-in-time access, and least privilege principles to ensure that only authorized users can access critical systems and data, thereby reducing the attack surface for potential ransomware threats.
