A vendor-neutral, holistic PAM curriculum — built in the classroom, proven in industry.
From university teaching to a practical PAM curriculum
PAM Best Practice began with guest lecturing on Privileged Access Management at university level. That teaching revealed a gap that runs right through the industry: PAM is one of the most critical disciplines in cybersecurity, yet it is barely taught, rarely structured, and almost never approached in a vendor-neutral way.
We built the curriculum that did not exist — a structured, nine-module programme that takes you from first principles to a working PAM strategy.
The Periodic Table of PAM Security
Every module maps to the Periodic Table of PAM Security — our framework of 81 elements across eight categories, from foundational access controls to non-human identities, just-in-time access and cloud-native PAM. It gives you a complete, structured map of the discipline rather than a vendor's feature list.
