Sessions with administrative access to critical systems in IT infrastructure often only have minimal, superficial controls. Privileged session control workflows in most enterprises today stop at assessing access requests and logging the launch of a privileged session, without capturing all the activities performed during that session. In a poorly monitored system, a malicious user with privileged insider access can easily view and modify confidential data, create backdoors, and effortlessly hide their tracks by deleting audit logs.
Verizon’s 2019 Data Breach Investigations report found that 34 percent of all breaches are caused by malicious insiders.
The Independent Oracle User Group survey reported that 75 percent of organizations cannot monitor their database administrators.
Major compliance standards like HIPAA, SOX, PCI, etc. require enterprises to record and document all privileged activities. However, enterprises using substandard privileged session managers and traditional approaches, like log files, cannot fully meet these requirements. As a result, many potential blind spots of a privileged session are missed during evaluation, impacting the overall efficiency and accuracy of compliance audits.
According to VeriSign, more than 70 percent of organizations without proper audits are flagged for failing to monitor access to cardholder data.
The above facts clearly substantiate that most enterprises today fail to implement robust privileged session management capabilities for their IT environments.
Enterprises need to go beyond manual monitoring and traditional privileged session management workflows to gain proactive insights into all privileged activities and minimize threats. As for supporting compliance standards and improving accountability for privileged users, there are no substitutes for tamper-proof session recordings and audit trails.
