USE CASES
What is PAM?
Secure Your Most Critical Access Points with Enterprise-Grade PAM
Privileged Access Management (PAM) provides comprehensive control and monitoring of privileged accounts across your entire IT infrastructure. From servers and databases to operational technology systems, PAM delivers the visibility, control, and automation needed to protect your organization's most sensitive resources while maintaining operational efficiency.
Herausforderung
Privileged Access: The Most Dangerous Gap in Modern Security
In today's distributed IT environments, privileged accounts – those with the highest level of system control – are often the least visible and least governed. As infrastructure becomes more complex and regulatory scrutiny intensifies, these gaps represent a direct threat to business continuity and compliance readiness.
Attackers increasingly focus on privileged identities because a single compromised domain administrator account can bypass security controls, access sensitive data, and inflict damage far exceeding any standard user breach.
Die wichtigsten Themen
- Expanding attack surface with remote connections, cloud platforms, and third-party vendor access
- Insufficient visibility into privileged access and activities during sessions
- Compliance gaps in access documentation and audit trails for regulatory frameworks
- Legacy systems with outdated security controls and unpatched vulnerabilities
- Privileged passwords stored in unencrypted files or shared across accounts
Lösung
Comprehensive Control for Critical Access
A Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution secures, controls, and monitors access to critical IT resources. PAM provides centralized management of privileged accounts, automated policy enforcement, and comprehensive session monitoring to protect against both internal and external threats.
Funktionen
Core PAM Capabilities
Advanced Security
AI-powered behavioral analytics, real-time threat detection, and automated anomaly identification. Advanced PAM solutions continuously monitor privileged activities using machine learning to establish baseline behaviors and instantly flag suspicious actions or potential security breaches.
Session Management
Complete recording, monitoring, and control of all privileged user sessions. Provides real-time oversight with the ability to terminate suspicious sessions and maintain comprehensive audit trails for compliance and forensic investigation.
Access Control
Granular permission management that enforces the principle of least privilege through role-based policies and time-bound restrictions. Ensures users receive only the minimum access needed for specific tasks while maintaining detailed approval workflows and access governance.
Transparent Proxy Architecture
Seamless connectivity with existing IT infrastructure, security tools, and identity management systems. Enables centralized management across hybrid environments while supporting both modern cloud platforms and legacy on-premises systems.
Just-in-Time Access
Temporary privilege elevation that grants administrative rights only when needed for specific tasks and predetermined timeframes. Reduces attack surface by eliminating standing privileges while maintaining operational efficiency through automated approval processes.
Credential Management
Centralized, encrypted storage of all privileged credentials with automatic password rotation. Eliminates shared passwords and unprotected credential storage while ensuring authorized users can access necessary systems without compromising security.
Leistungen
Measurable Security and Operational Improvements
Verbesserte Bedrohungserkennung
AI-powered behavioral analysis identifies sophisticated threats targeting privileged accounts, including attacks designed to disrupt critical infrastructure and bypass traditional security controls.
Streamlined Compliance
Comprehensive session recording and automated reporting satisfy regulatory requirements for privileged access monitoring and audit trail documentation.
Operational Efficiency
Automated workflows and policy enforcement reduce manual processes while providing the visibility and control needed for effective governance.
Reduced Risk and Exposure
Elimination of shared passwords, excessive privileges, and uncontrolled access significantly reduces your organization's attack surface and potential blast radius.
