Authentication

Microsoft's 2026 Digital Defense Report traces standing access, stolen credentials, and session theft. Checkout, rotation, MFA, brokered sessions, recordings, and just-in-time elevation answer those findings.

Privileged accounts don't get compromised at the login screen — they get compromised after login. MFA at PAM checkout closes that gap by re-verifying identity at the exact moment someone requests access to a privileged account.

Access control comes down to three questions—who, what, and which resource—plus the one people forget: where the check actually happens. Here's why only server-side enforcement truly protects your data.
