Organizations today are continuously challenged by limited visibility across complex, hybrid environments and a growing number of privileged identities. These identities go beyond traditional IT admins, including third-party partners, developers, and machine identities, which are increasingly complex. Maintaining consistent least-privilege access across on-prem, cloud, and SaaS systems is a significant hurdle in hybrid and multi-cloud setups.
As the cybersecurity threat landscape rapidly evolves and identity-based attacks become more frequent and sophisticated, prioritizing PIM solutions helps with unified visibility and smooth integration across diverse IT ecosystems. At the same time, trends like cloud adoption, DevOps practices, remote work, and the rise of AI are driving the need for modern Privileged Identity Management (PIM) solutions.
Modern PIM solutions play a key role in minimizing the risk of data breaches and identity-driven threats. They also help organizations meet compliance requirements and boost overall agility and resilience.
A robust PIM solution enhances a multi-layered security strategy by providing capabilities such as secure credential storage, access lifecycle management, session monitoring, privilege elevation and delegation controls, and threat analytics. It also integrates seamlessly with enterprise applications and supports software development and deployment workflows.
In “The Privileged Identity Management Solutions Landscape, Q2 2025” report, Forrester identifies the following PIM solutions core use cases (namely secure administrative access, prevention of privileged credential theft, and facilitation of audit and compliance) and several extended use cases. The vivid list of use cases is an excellent guide to understanding the importance of PIM and its growing significance in the changing security environment.
