Privileged Identity Management Market: Key Drivers and Challenges

The increasing frequency of insider threats is notably driving the PIM market growth, although factors such as PIM affecting the convenience of end-users may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the privileged identity management industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Privileged Identity Management Market Driver

One of the key factors driving growth in the privileged identity management market is the increasing frequency of insider threats. Enterprises face issues where unauthorized employees may have access to critical applications or systems. A major reason for this is privileged account users sharing their privileged identity, such as administrative account, with another person. This can pose a serious threat to enterprises. Traditional approaches, such as security information and event management (SIEMs) solutions, are not enough for security teams to collect sufficient data to protect information from potential insider threats. Enterprises require advanced user activity monitoring solutions to monitor privileged user activity. PIM vendors help in monitoring user activity and tracking unauthorized access to critical assets in enterprises. This is expected to increase the adoption of PIM among enterprises, thus driving the market during the forecast period.

Key Privileged Identity Management Market Challenge

The PIM affecting the convenience of end-users will be a major challenge for the privileged identity management market during the forecast period. Password-based security is one of the most common forms of authentication. However, it is the worst security measure because it is the most vulnerable to cyberattacks. Thus, vendors provide additional layers of authentication to increase the security of privileged accounts in enterprises. This is an in-depth approach to securing and managing privileged accounts. PIM helps enterprises ensure that each security layer covers the gaps that other defenses may lack. However, additional layers of security can be frustrating for end-users as it makes it more difficult for them to access privileged accounts. A privileged account user may have to pass through various authentication processes, which may not be convenient. This, in turn, reduces operational efficiency and productivity. Thus, end-users are not comfortable adopting this solution, which poses a challenge for vendors.

This privileged identity management market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth.
