CloudPrivileged Access Management (PAM) is at the heart of Zero trust policies
Be safer working with subcontractors and partners
With PAM solutions the organization can easily and quickly grant the necessary access to outside teams without compromising the security
Increased security
Based on the least privilege policies, the PAM solutions safeguard you from internal and external threats.
Flexibility and control
Еasily define and manage access rights at a very granular level which increases the security and business performance.
Standards and regulations
With excellent reporting and monitoring capabilities, it is easier to show compliance with different security standards and regulations
In line with the Zero Trust principle
The Zero Тrust strategy decreases the security attack surface of your organization. It helps safeguard against the common malware as well as against more advanced and complex attacks.
Zero trust is based on the principle “never trust, always verify” and rejects the older concept that the users who are already inside the company network can be trusted. Privileged Access Management (PAM) is at the heart of modern security policies. They operate on the principle of least privilege – users are given only the lowest access levels necessary for them to do their work tasks. This principle is considered the best practice in terms of cyber security and is the main step towards security privileged access to data and high-value assets. The PAM solutions protect from internal and external attacks and highly strengthen the security posture of the organization.
Key advantages of PAM solutions
Flexible access management
One of the main advantages of Privileged Access Solutions is the granular access capabilities which let you grant access to parts of a system.
Also, the rights can be granted one-time on-demand or for a fixed period of time no longer than what is needed. This is extremely useful when working with subcontractors or partners because you can provide secure access only to one part of a system or app – only to the part necessary for them to complete their job.
Increased productivity and speed
The capabilities for flexible control and management of user access rights increase productivity levels of IT staff and drastically optimize the time needed for the completion of everyday tasks. Very often the IT teams are requested to promptly grant access for outside contractors to systems and apps necessary for the completion of a project and the outlined business goals of the organization.
With the use of PAM solutions, the IT staff can fulfill these requests immediately while at the same time no threat to the company security is introduced.
This significantly speeds up and improves the process and the overall performance and satisfaction.
Track and monitor
Using Privileged Access Management solutions, you can track in real-time who has actually accessed each part of the IT infrastructure. In addition, you can have a record of exactly what actions each user has taken.
The most modern PAM solutions can also alert the responsible team when users show behavior that is outside of the normal, which can be a signal for a potential attack being underway.
Improved compliance
Many industries, such as finance and healthcare, for example, have to keep high levels of confidentiality and strictly regulate access to sensitive information. With the monitoring and reporting capabilities of PAM solutions, these organizations can easily show compliance with policies and regulations when audited.
Challenges overcome with PAM
Lack of privileged accounts monitoring
Even though over 70% of breaches happen through privileged accounts, every second organization does not have full visibility over the status of such accounts. A recent study found that nearly 60% of organizations do not have information on how many privileged accounts they have, and over 50% of such accounts do not get deactivated. In some cases, these are accounts of ex-employees that have left the company but have kept the access. Such forgotten accounts are dangerous backdoors that can be used by hackers. The lack of monitoring and tracking of the status and the activity of privileged accounts poses a serious risk to cyber security. The deployment of PAM solution gives a full record of privileged accounts and decreases the time and effort needed for access rights management both for employees and outside contractors. In addition, the deactivation of accounts when an employee leaves the company or when a contractor finishes their job is fast and easy.
Giving too many rights
If privileged access controls are too restrictive they can disrupt the working process for the users and can lower productivity. At the same time though, employees often change roles within the organization which require additional or different rights while the old ones are not useful or applicable anymore. To eliminate barriers to productivity the traditional practice is for the administrator to give a higher level of rights. This improves productivity but goes against the zero trust strategy and poses a very dangerous risk to security. PAM solutions solve this problem by allowing defining access rights to particular accounts – each user receives exactly the rights that it needs without being too high, but also without hindering the work process. In this way, a smooth working process is ensured while a high level of cyber security is maintained.
Lack of information about privileged accounts
The accounts of applications and external systems often use automatic privileged actions to complete a particular task – for communication with other applications, services, resources, etc. The service apps and accounts often have too many access rights granted by default which is also a threat to security.
When designing and implementing privileged access management systems we partner with world leaders in this field and we select and combine innovative technologies with our deep expertise.
