Privileged Identity Management protects user
accounts via PIM Solutions

• Sometimes, unscrupulous people steal the log in
  credentials of the employees of an organization
  in order to hack into the servers and steal the
  data. Compromised identities of employees are new
  threats for corporate organizations to counter.
• Advanced cyber attacks are automated, persistent,
  and in 99 cases successful. Security of IT
  infrastructure cannot be guaranteed solely on the
  basis of firewalls because they can only react to
  previously identified threats. Once the attackers
  penetrate your computer system, they can easily
  explore the whole network and exploit unsecured
  privileged credentials as they wish.
• Therefore, Identity Management is a solution to
  every threat that can arise due to compromised
  identity. It is defined as an administrative
  area, dealing with identification of individuals
  in a system (an enterprise) and controlling their
  access to resources within that system. Access is
  controlled by associating user rights and
  restrictions with the established identity.

What is Privileged Identity Management?

• Privileged Identity Management (PIM) is
  subcategory of Identity Management. Its purpose
  is to focus on privileged accounts, important
  accounts used by the team of IT administrators or
  sometime, people in the top brass of the
  organization. It also focuses on select business
  users and applications that are crucial to the
  business operations of the organization.Privilege
  d accounts are targeted by external attackers
  surpassing firewall and malicious insiders (rogue
  employees) who have access to sensitive data.PIM
  Solutions ensure security for user accounts in
  the applications that are a part of IT
  Infrastructure.

  privileged credentials on any cross-platform
  enterprise through the following process

  all critical IT assets, along with their
  privileged accounts and their interdependencies.2
  . RemediationPIM Solutions enforce rules for
  password complexity, diversity, change frequency,
  and synchronization of changes across all
  dependencies.3. DelegationPIM Solutions
  delegate access to privileged credentials in
  order to ensure that only authorized users or
  appropriate personnel, using the least privilege
  required, can log into IT assets.4. TrackingPIM

  so that the requester, purpose, and duration of
  each privileged access request can be documented
  and monitored.
