Description: Privileged Access Workstations are dedicated computer systems used to perform sensitive tasks and access privileged accounts within an organization. These workstations are designed with advanced security features that minimize the risk of compromising critical data and essential systems. They are often implemented in environments where security is paramount, such as handling financial information, personal data, or access to critical infrastructures. Privileged Access Workstations are typically isolated from the organization’s general network, helping to prevent cyberattacks and unauthorized access. Additionally, they often include monitoring and access control software that allows organizations to manage and audit activities performed on them. This security approach is part of the broader Zero Trust strategy, which assumes that no entity, whether internal or external, should be trusted by default. In this context, Privileged Access Workstations become an essential component for protecting an organization’s most valuable assets, ensuring that only authorized personnel can perform critical actions without compromising the overall system security.
