Privileged Access vs. Emergency Access: What's the Difference and Why it Matters to Your Security Posture

Privileged Access Management (PAM) has long been the cornerstone of enterprise identity security, protecting high-risk accounts and managing elevated entitlements across the IT ecosystem of devices, servers, infrastructure, and cloud. But what happens when legitimate users of business applications, like ERP, CRM, or HCM applications, need time-bound, elevated access during audits, outages, or urgent scenarios? That's where Emergency Access Management (EAM) comes in.

Join us as we explore how leading solutions—like Delinea’s PAM and Fastpath’s EAM—work in tandem to close the identity security gap. Learn how compliant EAM empowers organizations to provision users' emergency access without compromising audit trails, governance, or risk posture. We'll unpack the core differences between PAM and EAM, examine real-world use cases, and show how combining these frameworks leads to resilient, auditable, and scalable identity security, especially when it comes to business applications. PAM and EAM must work in tandem to have a strong security posture.

Whether you’re rethinking internal controls or advancing Zero Trust and Least Privilege, this webinar will illuminate what many compliance, security, and IT teams miss when relying on PAM alone, and forgetting about their critical business applications. True enterprise security requires locking down elevated access to all resources, including business applications, if external AND internal threats are to be effectively mitigated. Join us to learn how to make this happen in your company to strengthen your security posture.
