Organizations need to revisit their privileged access permissions and double down on their security strategy to protect their data and people from being exposed in the next big data breach.

As companies move to a hybrid model, it's important to look closely at which employees may have been granted additional access during the shift to working remotely and reassess who has privileged access now to minimize this threat.

Employees need to have some level of privileged credentials to do their jobs, but most organizations often grant too much access for too long.

Oftentimes, organizations grant their employees privileged access for much longer than needed.

They should consider secure access and digital identities of not just users, but all applications and data, and they should seek out solutions that allow them to quickly identify unauthorized access within the network and rapidly revoke permissions as necessary.

As organizations prepare for the new future of work-from all-remote to hybrid models-security teams need to reassess which users have privileged access and for how long.
