How the Full-Stack Approach to PAM Builds Least Privilege Defense-in-Depth
For many years, including 2025, the analyst community has recommended Privileged Access Management (PAM) for human and non-human identities as a crucial discipline to mitigate modern identity attack vectors. Organizations face increasingly sophisticated threats that target all forms of identities and accounts—especially those with privileged access. Privileged accounts hold the proverbial keys to the kingdom and provide access to critical systems, sensitive data, and the overall administrative control of the entire enterprise.
When any account is left overprivileged or unmanaged, attackers can exploit a single compromised identity to move laterally, escalate privileges, and execute ransomware or exfiltrate data. In a hypothetical example of a high-profile breach, an attacker that has leveraged administrator credentials somewhere in the attack chain can disable security tools, encrypt systems across the network, and extort millions in ransom—all without triggering traditional user-based threat detection. This kind of damage is not only costly but also reputationally devastating.

-
PGDriver (kernel space)
Knowing which component is involved is important because depending on the results of our testing, we can take steps to mitigate the issue with varying strategies.
For example, if we go down the line:
