Access Management

1. Privileged Access Management (PAM) Privileged Access Management (PAM) is a comprehensive cybersecurity solution designed to secure, control, and monitor access to sensitive resources within an organization's IT infrastructure. It focuses primarily on managing privileged accounts, which have elevated permissions and access privileges compared to standard user accounts. Privileged access refers to the elevated permissions granted to certain users or accounts within an organization's IT environment. These privileges allow users to perform critical tasks such as configuring systems, accessing sensitive data, and making significant changes to infrastructure components.

2. Key Components of a PAM Solution Privileged Account Management Secure storage, rotation, and controlled access to privileged credentials and passwords. Privileged Session Management Monitoring, recording, and controlling privileged user sessions and activities. Privileged Elevation and Delegation Implementing just-in-time and just-enough access to grant and revoke elevated permissions. Policy Enforcement Enforces security policies and compliance regulations to ensure that privileged access follows established guidelines and standards. Monitoring and Analytics Monitors privileged access activities, detects suspicious behaviour, and provides insights for threat detection and incident response. Authentication & Authorization Enforce (MFA) to verify the identities of users attempting to access privileged accounts. Implements granular access controls to restrict privileges based on roles, responsibilities, and least privilege principles.

3. Importance of Privileged Access Control Reducing Insider Threats Effective PAM helps mitigate the risk of malicious insiders abusing their privileged access to cause harm or steal sensitive data. Meeting Compliance Requirements PAM solutions enable organizations to adhere to regulatory standards and industry best practices around privileged access. Improving Security Posture Robust PAM strategies enhance an organization's overall cybersecurity resilience by limiting the attack surface and protecting critical assets. 79% of enterprises have had an identity-related breach within the past two years.*

4. Implementing Least Privilege Principles 1 Identify Privileged Accounts Discover and inventory all accounts with elevated access within the organization. 2 Enforce Least Privilege Grant the minimum necessary permissions to users and systems to perform their tasks. 3 Regularly Review and Adjust Continuously assess and adjust privileged access rights based on changing business needs. 600% increase in cybercrime activity since the COVID-19 Pandemic began.*

5. Monitoring and Auditing Privileged Activities 1 Real-time Monitoring Continuously track and record all activities performed by privileged users. 2 Alerts and Notifications Trigger alerts for suspicious or anomalous privileged user behavior. 3 Comprehensive Auditing Generate detailed audit trails and reports to demonstrate compliance and identify risks.

6. Securing Privileged Credentials and Passwords Privileged Password Management Centralized, secure storage and automated rotation of privileged passwords and secrets. Multi-factor Authentication Require additional verification factors to grant access to privileged accounts. Just-in-Time Access Dynamically provision and revoke privileged access on an as-needed basis.

7. Integrating PAM with Identity and Access Management Identity Management Leverage user identities and access controls to enable secure privileged access. Access Governance Align privileged access policies with overall access management strategies. Single Sign-On Provide a streamlined privileged access experience through SSO integration.
