Shaping the next generation of Privileged Access Management professionals
The PAM curriculum that didn't exist — now shared with the educators and employers building the future of cybersecurity talent.
PAM Best Practice began in the lecture theatre. What started as guest lecturing on Privileged Access Management at university level 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. The same knowledge, process and technology gaps we now help organisations close are the ones we first saw in the classroom — so we built the curriculum that didn't exist.
For colleges and universities
PAM Best Practice helps colleges and universities introduce learners to Privileged Access Management as a practical cybersecurity discipline. Our vendor-neutral approach strengthens employability, keeps curriculum relevant, and builds genuine links between classroom learning and the security challenges employers face every day.
We support curriculum enrichment, guest lectures, student projects, mentoring and employer-led insight sessions across cybersecurity, computing, digital and IT programmes.
- Strengthen employability with real PAM scenarios and clear role awareness
- Give students direct exposure to practitioners, mentors and industry expectations
- Show how privileged access, governance and least privilege fit into modern cybersecurity
Working with industry to build PAM talent
The employers who struggle to recruit PAM-capable security staff are the ones best placed to help shape how it's taught. We work with industry partners to keep our curriculum grounded in real privileged-access challenges — through employer insight sessions, sponsored student projects, mentoring and placements. Partners help define what "job-ready" really means, and gain early visibility of emerging PAM talent along the way.
We are Looking for Mentors — Can You Help?
Whether you teach PAM, hire for it, or want to help shape how it's taught, we'd like to hear from you.
Build PAM skills pathways that work for students, educators and employers.
