Identity & Access Management
Privileged Access Management (PAM)
Privileged accounts are the keys to your most critical systems. PAM secures them with vaulting, just-in-time elevation, session control and continuous oversight.
Overview
What is Privileged Access Management (PAM)?
Privileged Access Management governs administrator, root, service and emergency accounts across servers, databases, network devices, cloud consoles and SaaS. Core controls include credential vaulting and rotation, just-in-time and just-enough privilege, session isolation and recording, and least-privilege enforcement on endpoints.
Why it matters
When organizations need it
These are common signs that an organization would benefit from Privileged Access Management (PAM).
Signs you need it
- Shared administrator passwords or credentials stored in documents
- Standing admin rights that are rarely reviewed
