Privileged Access Management
Control privileged accounts and sessions with accountable, traceable access.
Overview
Shared administrator credentials make it difficult to establish who performed a change. Standing rights for occasional tasks, informal credential sharing and accounts left active after responsibilities change can extend privileged access beyond what is needed. These issues often become clear after an investigation cannot reconstruct an administrative action, or as remote administration and system expansion increase the number of privileged accounts.
Privileged Access Management focuses on privileged accounts, credentials and elevated sessions. Named individuals use controlled access for administrative tasks, while credentials are protected through defined controls. Elevation can be granted for a particular task or period instead of held permanently. Activity records can be reviewed when required, and privileged accounts and rights can be checked for their continued need.
