Navigating PAM: Privileged Access Management for macOS
Jigsaw24
macOS environments are built for productivity, but privileged access remains a core security and identity challenge. When admin rights are persistent, shared, or loosely governed, you introduce audit gaps, inconsistent controls, and unnecessary risk from privilege escalation.
Join Liam Donnelly from Jigsaw24 and Workbrew for a practical session on what privileged access management (PAM) is, why it matters, and how it applies specifically to macOS. This webinar focuses on the foundational problem: how to support legitimate admin needs without compromising security or developer experience.
