Deployment Considerations
Morey J. Haber, Brad Hibbert · Apress eBooks · 2017
Anytime you embark on an enterprise project, the costs, return on investment, risks, benefits, threats, and workflow (to name a few) should be considered. When deploying a PAM solution, the realization that it may impact the entire organization needs to be considered. This means that not only administrators will be effected but also end users that may lose administrative rights from contractors, executives, through temporary employees (although I hope your business never gives a temporary employee admin rights; sadly it happens). Deciding where to start, how to deploy, how to educate, and the measurable outcome are challenges that must be addressed up-front. If they are not, internal politics, user resistance, and Shadow IT may completely circumvent the reasons for embracing PAM in the first place. This chapter covers some of the deployment considerations all executives, security professionals, and operational teams should consider, discuss, and address along the journey.
