PAM is changing from a supporting role to that of a core enforcement layer that assigns rights dynamically according to the identity, context, and risk.<\/p><p>Companies are gradually increasing the role of PAM in the Zero Trust architectures to enforce the policies of the least privileged users and time-limited access.<\/p><p><b>Just-In-Time (JIT) &amp; Ephemeral Privileges Become Standard<\/b><br \/>Only granting access when necessary and revoking it shortly afterwards will greatly reduce the risk.
