Delinea, a leading provider of seamless security privileged access management (PAM) solutions, is releasing “Cloud Server Privilege Management for Dummies,” a free e-book that provides organizations with valuable best practices for protecting cloud server privileged access .
Among other things, the book provides valuable tips on how to sustainably minimize the complexity of securing access to business-critical resources. This is all the more important given that the majority of businesses remain highly vulnerable to cloud server security breaches. For example, the 2022 Thales Cloud Security Report shows that 45 percent of organizations have experienced a cloud-based data breach or failed audit in the last XNUMX months. Server security is critically dependent on securing accounts and the associated permissions to log on to machines and run privileged commands and applications.

"The pandemic has been a wake-up call for many organizations to accelerate their cloud initiatives, many of which were already on their way to multi-cloud and hybrid infrastructures," said Tony Goulding, senior director, technical product marketing at Delinea and co-author of the new For Dummies e-books. “But what many didn't consider was the shift from a reactive to a proactive security posture when it comes to managing privileged access to cloud resources. This book will help any organization protect distributed IT server infrastructures in hybrid or multi-cloud environments, thereby reducing risk.”
