Protect critical assets

Privileged accounts access your most sensitive systems, making them high-value targets. PAM restricts this access, reducing the risk of breaches and misuse.

Reduce insider threats

PAM monitors privileged activity and enforces strict controls, helping detect unusual behavior and reducing the risk of insider threats.

Ensure compliance

PAM creates clear audit trails and detailed reports that make it easier to meet regulatory requirements and ensure that the handling of privileged accounts meets best practices.

Minimize breach risk

PAM enforces least privilege principles, giving users only the access they need. This limits the attack surface, reducing the chances of a security breach.

Privileged Access ManagementPAM solutions provide a targeted way to manage, monitor, and control access to your most sensitive and high-risk environments.

Why is PAM needed?

Privileged Access Management is a specialized area within the larger field of Identity and Access Management (IAM). It tackles critical risks associated with unmanaged privileged accounts. Below are some of the key risks PAM addresses:

Lack of visibilty: Organizations often don’t know who holds privileged access, leaving orphaned accounts vulnerable to attacks.
Over-Provisioning: Privileged accounts frequently have more access than needed, expanding the attack surface.
Manual management and shared credentials: Managing privileges manually and shared credentials results in inconsistent enforcement of security policies and makes it difficult to track actions.


PAM centralizes control, mitigates risks, and ensures careful management and monitoring of privileged access.

USE AREAS AND BENEFITS

Strengthen security

PAM reduces your attack surface by limiting extended access rights to only those people who really need it. By applying the principle of least privilege, PAM reduces the number of access points that malicious actors can exploit.

Additionally, PAM helps prevent malware from gaining a foothold or spreading within your network by restricting the privileges that malware can exploit. With PAM, you can significantly reduce the likelihood and impact of security incidents.

Boost efficiency

PAM simplifies access management and automates privilege controls, reducing IT friction and operational complexity. Key factors to enhance efficiency include:

  • Automated privilege management: PAM reduces the workload of IT teams by automating access control and rotation of credentials such as passwords, tokens and certificates.
  • Improved system performance: PAM ensures that users have only the essential permissions, preventing unnecessary privileges from causing issues or conflicts between systems. 
  • Reduced risk of downtime:PAM minimizes the likelihood of errors that could result in system crashes by restricting users' permissions to only what is essential for their tasks.

Ensure compliance

PAM helps ensure compliance by recording detailed audit trails of all activities by users with extended privileges. This makes it easy to comply with regulations such as NIS2.

By implementing clear and consistent access policies for privileged accounts, PAM makes system administration less complex. It also makes it easier for organizations to demonstrate compliance with regulations and standards during security audits.

 

 

Securing identities with privileged access to systems, data, applications, and other sensitive resources is crucial to maintaining organizational security.

 

Privileged Access Management

Zero Trust Security and PAM

In a Zero Trust security model, the core principle is "never trust, always verify." No user or device, whether inside or outside the network, is automatically trusted.

PAM plays a crucial role in Zero Trust by tightly managing and monitoring privileged access. By enforcing least privilege and verifying every access request, PAM ensures that even users with elevated permissions must constantly prove their identity and intent before accessing critical systems, in line with Zero Trust principles.
