Privileged Identity Management (PIM) is one of the most critical security features within Azure Active Directory; designed to control, govern, and secure privileged access across cloud environments. In this episode, we break down what PIM is, why organizations rely on it, and how it helps minimize risks associated with elevated permissions.
You’ll learn how PIM enables Just-In-Time (JIT) access, approval-based role activation, access reviews, and continuous monitoring to prevent misuse of admin privileges. We’ll also explore how PIM supports compliance, reduces insider threats, and strengthens overall cloud security posture.
