PRIVILEGED ACCESS
MANAGEMENT (PAM)

When you go to a hotel, your key only works for your room. The cleaners, though, have a master key for all the rooms. This is like a privileged account. If the hotel master key ends up in the wrong hands, all the rooms are at risk. If your privileged accounts aren’t protected, your business is at risk of breach. Privileged Access Management (PAM) protects critical data by securing, controlling, and monitoring elevated accounts. Watch the short overview.

Identity Governance (IGA) and Access Management (AM) are not sufficient to manage privileged accounts. Administrative privileges host a wealth of risks for business operations. 

Implementing PAM to automatically manage and secure privileged credentials is critical to mitigate security risks. 

Organisations often struggle with compliance due to lack of visibility or reporting. Fines for non-compliance can be detrimental to a business. 

PAM facilitates compliance without disrupting employee activity by:

• enabling visibility of privileged account activity,
• having defined security policies and rule-based access,
• logging activity and audit trails.
