Research finds PAM solutions are too complex with 68% of organizations paying for “wasted features” that are rarely used. A global survey of 400 IT and security executives conducted in January 2023, by Keeper Security in partnership with TrendCandy Research, reveals an overwhelming industry desire for Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions that are easy to deploy and maintain.
The findings show that traditional PAM solutions are falling far short, largely because they are too complex to implement and use. An overwhelming 84% of IT leaders said they want to simplify their PAM solution in 2023. In the current high-risk security climate, it is imperative that all organizations secure their privileged credentials, privileged accounts, and privileged sessions to protect their crown jewels. However, many traditional PAM solutions are failing to provide their intended value outside of these core use cases, because deployment is either too complex, too cost-prohibitive, or both. In the era of remote work, organizations need agile identity security solutions that can protect against cybersecurity threat vectors by monitoring, detecting, and preventing unauthorized privileged access to critical resources.
Keeper Security, a leading innovator in privileged access management, wanted to better understand how IT leaders are thinking about PAM, deploying their PAM solutions, and streamlining their PAM implementations. Keeper commissioned an independent research firm to survey 400 IT and data security leaders in North America and Europe about their strategies and plans for PAM in 2023.

Why are organizations moving from Citrix to Azure Virtual Desktop + Nerdio?
In the current landscape, IT leaders—even those who have already embraced virtualization—face some difficult questions.
Given the growing popularity, simplicity, and consistent user experience of Microsoft Windows 365 (W365), is it worth fully transitioning to it? Or does it make more sense to retain the control and flexibility that Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) and other virtualization platforms provide?
How hard is it to manage a virtual computing ecosystem where some users are on AVD, some are on W365, and a small number still use their physical desktops? What’s the simplest and most cost-effective course of action?
This guide was designed to give you the insights you need to make an informed decision for your organization.
