Privileged Access Management (PAM)

Overview

Today’s digital world consists of many cyber security threats such as trojans, ransomware, malware, phishing, social media attacks, and more. The threats are increasing its’ presence so much so that World Economic Forum’s (WEF) “The Global Risks Report 2022” shows that malware surged by 358% in 2020, while ransomware increased by 435%.

This indicates that human errors would probably be the weakest link in cyber security when it comes to privileged accounts such as local admin accounts, privileged user accounts, and domain administrative accounts. And all these accounts must be monitored and controlled closely with Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions to mitigate the risks like data breaches.

Privileged Access Management solutions are one the most important cyber security components that enforce privileged access controls, minimize shared account risks, and eliminate credential exposures while controlling applications and endpoint devices (servers, routers, etc.)

PAM solutions enable IT & network administrators to:

Efficiently secure access to network infrastructure and applications
Transparently enforce company security policies on privileged sessions
Conveniently and universally control configurations
Comprehensively record all activities in the network and data center that impact could business continuity

Whereas PAM focuses on controlling and securing the internal IT environment of an organization, it can also support wide range of features for carriers/enterprises to establish a flexible, centrally managed, and layered defense security architecture against insider threats.

Features

The benefits of Privileged Access Management, which basically provides a multi-layered security infrastructure against data breaches, multi-vendor environment complexity, regulatory compliance and cyber-attacks are as follows:

Privileged Session Manager: Logging and recording of all sessions for network and servers, including command and context-aware filtering
Dynamic Password Controller: Control of device and database passwords, providing security with password vault and split-password features while sustaining efficiency
Multi-Factor Authentication: Additional layers of authentication while integrating mobile device, geo-location, and time
Database Access Management and Dynamic Data Masking: Single point of access control management for database layer, secures data access with logging, policy enforcement, and dynamic data masking
Privileged Task Automation: Provides a single interface to configure the ability of network business flows with dynamic and extendable command sets
Unified Access Manager: Provides AAA services for network infrastructure and extends authentication and policy configurations of AD to network
