Privileged Access Management
Privileged Access Management (PAM) encompasses a suite of solutions designed to secure, control, and monitor access to critical assets and resources in an organization’s IT environment. PAM tools manage and audit all privileged accounts and credentials, ensuring only authorized users have access to sensitive systems and data. These solutions are crucial for protecting against internal and external threats, enforcing security policies, and meeting compliance requirements.

Features and
benefits of PAM
Secure Privileged Accounts
Centralizes management of privileged credentials to prevent unauthorized access and reduce the risk of security breaches.
Session Monitoring and Recording
Tracks and records privileged sessions for real-time monitoring and forensic analysis, enhancing accountability and transparency.
Least Privilege Enforcement
Implements the principle of least privilege, granting users the minimum levels of access required to perform their duties, thereby minimizing the potential attack surface.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Adds an extra layer of security by requiring multiple forms of verification before granting access to privileged accounts, significantly reducing the risk of credential theft.
Automated Credential Rotation
Automatically changes passwords and keys at configurable intervals or after each session, ensuring stale credentials cannot be exploited by attackers.
Compliance and Reporting
Provides detailed audit trails and reporting capabilities to meet regulatory compliance requirements and facilitate security audits.
Used Technologies
Misuse or unauthorized use of privileged accounts, leading to data breaches, system disruptions, or unauthorized changes to critical systems.
Attackers stealing privileged credentials through phishing, keylogging, or other methods to gain unauthorized access to sensitive resources.
Malicious or negligent insiders exploiting their privileged access for personal gain or to inflict harm on the organization.
Attackers using stolen credential hashes to authenticate as privileged users without needing the actual passwords.
Exploiting vulnerabilities or configuration errors to gain higher access levels than initially granted.
