Privileged Access Management (PAM) For Dummies

Delinea’s Privileged Access Management for Dummies (2025) explains how PAM protects organizations by controlling privileged identities and access. It defines human and machine identities, outlines risks such as credential theft and privilege escalation, and details PAM approaches like vaulting, session management, and privilege elevation. The book emphasizes zero standing privilege, least privilege, and dynamic policies supported by AI for adaptive security. It guides readers in implementing a PAM roadmap, integrating automation, MFA, and compliance frameworks to strengthen identity governance, minimize risk, and maintain operational efficiency across hybrid environments.
