Privileged Access Management enforces least-privilege by vaulting credentials, brokering just-in-time access to administrative accounts, and recording privileged sessions — closing the attack surface that adversaries exploit in over 80% of breaches involving compromised credentials. Zero Trust treats privileged access as a continuous verification problem rather than a one-time grant, integrating PAM with identity governance, MFA, and device posture to eliminate standing administrator rights.
