Cyber Security
Cyber criminals, state-sponsored hackers and even the occasional disgruntled employee are constantly looking to gain unauthorized access for a variety of purposes: theft of money, cyber espionage, personal information for sale or for use in scams, and damage to critical infrastructure for just a few of the most common.

This is also true of smart devices, which are generally more poorly secured than computers and phones.
Keeping special accounts safe is really important. With more cyber dangers around, companies need strong ways to check who's logging in and to keep their important info safe. One way to do this is called "just-in-time" (JIT) setup, which helps make sure special accounts stay secure.
