Why Legacy PAM Tools Can’t Keep Up in the Cloud Era:

The Need for Modern Privilege Management

Why Legacy PAM Tools Can’t Keep Up in the Cloud Era:
The Need for Modern Privilege Management

SECURING THE CLOUD FRONTIER

The Privilege Management Crisis Every Enterprise Must Solve

The race to the cloud is accelerating, but beneath the surface of innovation lies a ticking time bomb: privilege management. As enterprises embrace hybrid workforces, multi-cloud ecosystems, and DevOps pipelines, the old rules of security are collapsing.

The stakes? Data breaches, regulatory fines, and reputational ruin.

Privilege management

Why Privilege Management is the Achilles’ Heel of Modern IT 

The Perimeter Is Dead, but
Legacy Tools Aren’t 

Firewalls fail where hybrid cloud grows. 84% of orgs now mix cloud and on-prem—yet attackers exploit loose permissions to hop silently between systems.

84%

84% organizations transform IT infrastructure using hybrid cloud for flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness.

Machine Identities Are Out of Control

Machines now outnumber human users 45-to-1, yet 62% of companies can't track what access these systems have—or how to shut it off.

62%

62% enterprises still struggle with limited visibility into critical infrastructure access.

The Anywhere-Access Trap 

Everyone expects easy access—from cafes to home offices to airports. But outdated security tools force IT to choose: slow everyone down with clunky VPNs, or risk attacks through open ports and old passwords.

65%

IT leaders reports traditional VPNs or jump host setups significantly slow down remote operations.

Compliance in
Chaos 

GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS demand airtight audit trails. But hybrid environments fracture visibility: A privileged session on an AWS EC2 instance isn’t logged the same way as an on-premises SQL server. 

60%

companies say fragmented audit trails in hybrid setups increase non-compliance risk for GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS.

The Silent Costs of “Good Enough” Security

80% of breaches start with compromised credentials. Overprivileged cloud admin accounts? A goldmine for attackers.

DevOps teams bypass clunky PAM workflows to meet sprint deadlines, spawning shadow IT risks.

The Talent
Drain

76% of IT security staff report burnout from manually rotating credentials, troubleshooting access denials, and auditing logs across 10+ tools.

THE TIPPING POINT

What Happens Next?

For enterprises still relying on obsolete privilege management tools, the future is fraught with challenges:

Expanding Vulnerability

Every addition of a cloud workload, SaaS application, or IoT device further broadens the divide between robust security and operational agility.

Regulatory Pressures

With new regulations such as the SEC’s mandate for a four-day breach disclosure insufficient access controls can swiftly lead to legal battles and shareholder grievances.

The Cloud Conundrum

As many as 41% of organizations find themselves forced to repatriate cloud workloads due to security shortcomings, compromising both return on investment and scalability.
