What is a PAM engineer?

A PAM (Privileged Access Management) Engineer is responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining security solutions that protect an organization's privileged accounts. They work with PAM tools like CyberArk, BeyondTrust, or Thycotic to enforce least privilege access, monitor privileged sessions, and prevent unauthorized access. Their role involves configuring access controls, integrating PAM solutions with enterprise systems, and responding to security incidents related to privileged accounts. PAM Engineers play a key role in improving cybersecurity posture by mitigating risks associated with privileged credentials.
