Privileged access management
Privileged access management (PAM) involves controlling and monitoring the access of users with elevated permissions to critical systems and sensitive information. It ensures that privileged accounts are used securely and that access to vital resources is strictly managed to prevent unauthorized actions and data breaches.
Integrating systems for privileged access management enhances the security and oversight of privileged accounts. These integrations provide a comprehensive framework for managing, monitoring, and auditing privileged access, ensuring that elevated permissions are used appropriately and securely.
Privileged access management integrations handle several important tasks, including:
- Controlling access: Restrict and manage access to sensitive systems and information based on user roles and permissions.
- Monitoring activities: Continuously monitor and record the actions of users with privileged access to detect and respond to suspicious activities.
- Enforcing policies: Implement and enforce security policies for the use of privileged accounts.
- Securing credentials: Safeguard privileged account credentials to prevent unauthorized access.
- Auditing access: Regularly audit privileged access and activities to ensure compliance with security standards and regulations.
- Implementing best practices: Follow guidelines for secure and efficient management of privileged access.
- Troubleshooting issues: Address and resolve common problems in privileged access management to maintain secure operations.
The following guides help you leverage the full capabilities of your privileged access management infrastructure, providing step-by-step instructions and best practices for seamless integration with PAM systems:
