ENHANCED HYBRID ACCESS ADMINISTRATION MODEL OF PRIVILEGED ACCESS ADMINISTRATION WITH IDENTITY ACCESS ADMINISTRATION TO ADVANCE THE USER’S PROTECTION PROCEDURES IN ONLINE CIRCUMSTANCES

Abstract

Securing access to vital information systems is crucial in the age of digital transformation.  The changing functions of Privileged Access Management (PAM) with Identity and Access Management (IAM) in corporate cyber security frameworks are examined in this study.  While PAM adds extra security layers for privileged accounts that are more likely to be hacked, IAM serves as the framework for managing digital identities and regulating user access across business resources. This paper examines the integration and unique features of IAM and PAM systems through a comparative analysis, highlighting how well they work together to mitigate both internal and external risks.  In order to assess best practices, implementation difficulties, and the efficacy of unified Hybrid PAM-IAM methods in boosting compliance, decreasing the attack surface, and increasing operational efficiency, the study uses survey data and case studies.  The results highlight the necessity of a layered access security architecture and support role-based access restrictions, least privilege enforcement, and ongoing monitoring as fundamental security measures for contemporary digital settings..
