In this episode, we break down what PIM is, why organizations rely on it, and how it helps minimize risks associated with elevated permissions.

You’ll learn how PIM enables Just-In-Time (JIT) access, approval-based role activation, access reviews, and continuous monitoring to prevent misuse of admin privileges. We’ll also explore how PIM supports compliance, reduces insider threats, and strengthens overall cloud security posture.
