Heimdal Privileged Account and Session Management
Controls privileged credentials, access and remote session records.
Relevant for Windows and Linux estates needing controlled SSH and RDP privileged access.
Control privileged access and record remote sessions
Privileged accounts often need access to remote servers and sensitive administrative functions. Managing connection passwords, determining who can use them and retaining a usable record of session activity can otherwise be separate tasks.
Heimdal PASM centralises connection passwords in an enterprise vault, applies role-based permissions and supports just-in-time access requests. It launches agentless SSH and RDP connections, then monitors, records and plays back privileged sessions. Audit trails and reporting retain evidence of privileged activity for review.
Where Heimdal Privileged Account and Session Management is used
The product is suited to administering Windows and Linux servers through SSH or RDP while controlling access to connection credentials. It also supports temporary privileged permissions through just-in-time access requests and provides session recordings, playback and reports where administrative activity needs to be reviewed.
Suitable environments
Heimdal PASM applies to Windows and Linux environments. It supports remote server connections over SSH and RDP without agents, plugins or additional software on the connection path.
