Privileged Access Management (PAM) Explained Simply | Stop Admin Abuse
If The Wolf gets the crown, the kingdom falls. 🐺👑
In this episode of CompTIA Security+ (Domain 3), Professor Piggy enters the "Throne Room" to explain Privileged Access Management (PAM). Why do we never let an administrator keep their powers 24/7? Because standing privileges are a security risk.
We break down how Just-in-Time (JIT) permissions work, why you should use Password Vaults, and why sharing accounts is a crime against cybersecurity.
🔑 KEY TOPICS:
The "Throne Room" Analogy: Why admin access must be temporary.
Just-in-Time (JIT) Permissions: Requesting access only when needed.
Password Vaults: Why admins shouldn't know the root password.
Temporal Accounts: Creating temporary admins that self-destruct.
The 2-Account Rule: Why you need a Standard account AND an Admin account.
Malware Risks: How viruses inherit your current permissions.
⚠️ EXAM NOTE:
The exam expects you to know that *Shared/Generic Accounts* are prohibited because they break "Non-Repudiation" and Accountability. If everyone logs in as "Admin," you can't prove which pig broke the system!
