Cloud Entitlement Management: A Critical Layer in Modern Cloud Security
Cloud computing has fundamentally transformed how organizations deploy and manage their IT infrastructure. Today, leading Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) offer a broad spectrum of services designed to help enterprises scale dynamically, reduce operational and energy costs, simplify backup and disaster recovery, and manage resources globally. Due to these benefits, a growing number of organizations—including both public and private sector institutions—are adopting cloud-based solutions to replace or complement their traditional on-premise systems.
From Shadow Accounts to Secure Vaults: How Kron PAM Simplifies Privileged Account Discovery
Enterprises rely on thousands of privileged accounts spread across servers, databases, and network devices. These accounts — whether local administrator accounts, AD/LDAP-integrated identities, or service accounts — are powerful but also risky. If left unmanaged, they can become “shadow accounts” that attackers exploit, or even legitimate but forgotten accounts that weaken an organization’s security posture. Industry research shows that mismanaged privileged accounts remain a leading cause of breaches. According to Verizon’s 2024 Data Breach Investigations Report, nearly 30% of incidents stem from credential misuse, often involving accounts that should have been secured or retired. Attackers don’t need to break in if they can simply log in with orphaned or unmonitored credentials. This is why privileged account discovery and lifecycle management are essential. And it’s exactly where Kron PAM makes a difference.
Reducing Firewall Log Volume by 93% with Kron Telemetry Pipeline
A Tier 1 mobile operator operates at massive scale, where firewalls in data centers and IT systems continuously generate high-volume telemetry streams. In this environment, Fortigate and Palo Alto firewalls were producing millions of log events per day, all forwarded directly into Splunk for analysis. A large portion of these logs were near-duplicates: repeated flows between the same source and destination, with only counters (bytesIn/bytesOut) incrementing. Without preprocessing, the operator had to either absorb the cost or sacrifice visibility. To address this, the operator deployed Kron Telemetry Pipeline as an intermediate processing layer between firewalls and Splunk.
Why SSH Security Matters — And How Kron PAM’s Privileged Session Manager Protects Your Enterprise
Secure Shell (SSH) has long been the backbone of remote administration for Linux/Unix servers and network devices. It replaced Telnet and other insecure protocols with encrypted communication, and today it’s used by virtually every enterprise to connect administrators, developers, and third-party vendors to critical systems. But as much as SSH has become indispensable, it’s also become one of the most exploited gateways for cyber attackers.
Stopping Attacks Before They Start: The Kron PAM Approach to Remote Access Security
Remote work isn’t “new”—but the way attackers get in keeps evolving. The latest numbers show that weaknesses in remote access (VPN appliances, exposed RDP, stolen credentials) continue to be among the most reliable paths to compromise. In 2025, the safest remote access is not a network tunnel—it’s a controlled, auditable, identity-first session that never exposes your environment directly. Kron PAM’s Secure Remote Access was built for this reality: VPN-less, browser-based, JIT, and fully recorded, with strong credential hygiene and data-layer guardrails.
