Privileged Access Manager (PAM)
Privileged Access Manager (PAM) is a sophisticated solution that provides effective management and security of access rights to privileged accounts in an organization. This product is designed to help organizations control and monitor access to sensitive systems and data, which is essential to minimize risk and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. PAM offers centralized management and advanced security features to ensure that sensitive information remains protected from unauthorized access.
The key to access security
About the product
Compliance with regulations
PAM provides tools that are key to protecting personal data in compliance with GDPR and other regulatory standards. It enables effective auditing and logging of activity on privileged accounts, which is essential to demonstrate regulatory compliance.
Safety management
The product offers advanced security features such as password management, access control and the ability to remotely monitor and control access. PAM includes tools to detect and block unauthorized access and threats.
Configuration and management
As a solution, PAM allows IT teams to efficiently manage and configure access rights from one central location. This includes installing and updating policies, monitoring activity and enforcing security measures.
Solution overview
Symantec PAM helps prevent security breaches by protecting sensitive administrative credentials, controlling privileged user access, proactively enforcing security policies, and monitoring and logging privileged user activity across virtual, cloud and physical environments. The solution provides comprehensive PAM services, including privileged login storage, session recording, behavioral analytics, granular access control and secrecy management.
Key challenges
Privileged access protection has moved beyond the vault, and enterprises need a platform that is scalable to secure an exponentially growing number of accounts and higher-access credentials and flexible enough to cover a wide range of use cases.
Specifically, organizations need a privileged access management platform that effectively addresses the following challenges:
Hybrid environment defence
As you migrate to the cloud, new threats and security challenges emerge. Do you control privileged access across a hybrid environment?
Access security for non-human users
Applications have privileged access via hard-coded credentials. Do you secure these logins against theft and misuse?
Meeting regulatory requirements
The regulations are being extended to cover the risks associated with privileged users. Are you addressing these new compliance requirements?
Anticipate disruption
Privileged accounts will be compromised. What security measures do you have in place to limit the damage caused by the anticipated breach?
Symantec PAM provides:
Login safe
Store privileged login credentials in an encrypted vault and grant access only after users have been positively identified.
Zero Trust Access
Implement a Zero Trust access model that denies all access by default and grants access only through explicit policies.
Threat analysis
Monitor privileged user activity to assess risk and automatically trigger corrective actions when unusual behaviour is detected.
Recording sessions
Record video of all privileged user actions to improve accountability and provide forensic evidence of malicious activity.
Fine-tuned approach
Enforce detailed access controls on super user accounts to support secure delegation of tasks and protect compromised accounts.
Managing secrets
Allow applications and scripts to retrieve secret data from an encrypted vault instead of having to hard-code these logins.
News in PAM
As organizations seek to modernize their application portfolios to remain competitive, it is clear that legacy data centers lack the necessary resiliency and scalability. As a result, cloud adoption and migration strategies are inextricably linked to application modernization. To run applications across different cloud environments, organizations need a platform that provides consistent infrastructure and operations across clouds. VMware® Cloud Foundation™ addresses this challenge by combining the scalability and agility of the public cloud with the security and performance of the private cloud. However, one improperly authorized or compromised privileged account can cause extensive and irreversible damage to an organization’s infrastructure and reputation. This risk is significantly increased by the growing, dynamically distributed virtualized and cloud environments commonly found in modern enterprise IT.
