Privileged Access Management (PAM)

Privileged Access Management (PAM)
  • Privileged Access Management (PAM): Secures and monitors high-risk accounts like admins, root users, and service accounts.
  • Core risk: Privileged accounts, if compromised, can cause severe breaches.
  • Credential Vaulting: Stores and protects privileged passwords, keys, and certificates.
  • Access Control & Least Privilege: Grants elevated access only when necessary, based on roles or policies.
  • Session Management & Monitoring: Tracks and records privileged sessions for auditing and real-time alerts.
  • Password Rotation & Automation: Regularly rotates and manages credentials to reduce exposure.
  • Just-in-Time (JIT) Privileges: Provides temporary elevated access instead of permanent privileges.
  • Benefits: Reduces breach risks, enforces least privilege, enhances visibility, prevents insider threats, and automates credential management.
  • Use Cases: Securing AD domain admins, database admins, cloud root accounts, remote sessions, and shared passwords.
  • Leading solutions: CyberArk, BeyondTrust, Delinea (Thycotic), One Identity, IBM, ManageEngine PAM360.
