The UK’s National Cyber Security Centre reports a sharp increase in “nationally significant” cyber incidents, most tied to legacy systems and weak identity governance. As organizations modernize, many still overlook the largest vulnerability in their environments: uncontrolled privilege. This article explores why identity has become the real infrastructure, why traditional models fail, and how a complete privileged-access strategy creates measurable resilience.
Web applications have become mission-critical for enterprises. From cloud-based business tools to on-premises management consoles, employees and contractors interact with dozens of applications every day. While convenient, this explosion of web apps creates a new frontier for security risks: uncontrolled access, credential sprawl, and lack of visibility into user actions. Kron PAM’s Privileged Session Manager (PSM) for Web Applications was designed to meet these challenges head-on. It gives enterprises a way to manage, monitor, and secure privileged access to web applications — without disrupting the way users work.
The global pandemic triggered one of the most significant transformations in modern workplace culture: the widespread adoption of remote work. What began as a temporary response to a global crisis has now evolved into a lasting model. Today, many companies have either fully embraced remote operations or adopted hybrid structures, where employees split their time between home and office. This shift has brought undeniable benefits. Employees have gained greater flexibility, allowing for better work-life balance and time management. Meanwhile, companies have reduced costs associated with office rentals and utilities and can now tap into a broader, geographically unrestricted talent pool. However, this new reality also introduces significant cybersecurity challenges—particularly in managing secure access to internal systems, applications, and data from external, potentially untrusted environments.
In the current world of online banking, security isn't just a nice -to-have—it's a must. For one of the largest public banks in the EMEA region, this reality was crystal clear. Handling millions of daily transactions, the bank manages mission-critical systems such as wire transfers, ATM networks, point-of-sale terminals, card processing platforms, mobile banking, and online customer portals. Every one of these systems relies on privileged credentials —passwords, SSH keys, API tokens, and secrets —to connect and function. But until recently, the bank faced a dangerous and surprisingly common problem: hardcoded credentials hidden in source code and configuration files.
