What you'll learn

Access control in today’s IT environments is critical, and that’s where Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Privileged Access Management (PAM) come in. But what’s the difference between them, and how do they work together to secure your enterprise?

In this TechTalk, Tim Warner explains how IAM governs general user access, while PAM focuses on protecting sensitive, high-value accounts with elevated privileges. Learn how generative AI is transforming access control with automation and anomaly detection. Whether you’re an IT manager, an MSP, or a system administrator, you’ll walk away with actionable tips to improve your environment’s security posture.
