Implementing CyberArk PAM improvises businesses’ security posture, secures sensitive data, and be compliant with industry standards.

Here’s are the key security highlights of CyberArk PAM.

Secure Credential Management

PAM can manage privileged credentials securely. It centralizes and encrypts passwords, SSH keys, API keys, and other sensitive credentials, removing the need for scripts and apps to use hard-coded credentials. This minimizes the potential risks of unauthenticated access and data breaches.

Least Privilege Access Enforcement

Assisting businesses in enforcing the principle of least privilege. It ensures that users have access only at the necessary level to work. Restricting privilege access to only those who need it reduces the attack surface. Because of this, the impact of a potential security breach is minimized.

Privileged Session Management

PAM monitors and records privileged sessions in depth. It allows businesses to track and audit privileged account user behaviours. It provides valuable info for security investigations and compliance needs. When a security issue occurs, privileged session records are useful for forensic investigation.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

PAM supporting MFA is an added layer of security to the access protocol. Users go through different modes of identity verification such as Security token, Biometrics, Passwords before accessing privileged accounts. When a password is compromised, MFA elevates access control, shielding from unauthorized access.

Just-In-Time Access

PAM enables just-in-time access by granting need-to-know privileged access on a time-bound basis. This method makes sure that sensitive resources are only accessed when it’s necessary. Thus, it decreases the privileged accounts exposure & mitigates the risks of unauthorized access.

Privileged Account Discovery

PAM assists businesses in identifying and managing all privileged accounts in their environment. It detects privileged users, service accounts, and app accounts instantly, giving comprehensive visibility and control over critical access points.

Password Rotation & Automation

This solution provides automated password rotation for privileged accounts at regular intervals. By doing so, reduces the perils of unauthorized access due to stolen or exposed passwords.

Threat Analytics & Anomaly Detection

PAM uses advanced analytics & ML to detect odd user activities and potential threats in real-time. It tracks user activity, detects user deviations, sending alerts when something unusual happens. Early detection of any unusual behaviour, prevents potential security breaches.

Integration with SIEM and Security Solutions
