Benefits of using a PAM solution

Organizations often compromise on security measures due to the time and effort it takes to both implement and integrate them into their own workflows. In the context of privileged access management, manually managing privileged access means giving and revoking access to hundreds of accounts, manually rotating hundreds of passwords, and having to go log every single action taken.

Imagine a software that could do it at the click of a button. PAM solutions automate each routine activity that administrators need to do, reducing their workload to only defining user roles and acting on access requests. Automation is a huge part of a PAM solution, however, it brings a lot more to the table.

• 01.

  Minimized human error

  PAM solutions take the human fatigue out of having to rotate countless passwords and evaluate hundreds of access requests a day. They ensure that human error is reduced in these critical processes. Passwords are rotated automatically, and privileged access is revoked after a privileged session ends, making sure that privileged credentials are always secured.

  Security without compromising efficiency

  When it comes to password rotation or access provisioning, manually carrying out these tasks is both time consuming and cumbersome. A good PAM solution provides structure to these processes, providing a smooth workflow that ensures security doesn't come at the cost of an organization's efficiency.

• 03.

  Granular access controls and just-in-time privileges

  With PAM solutions, admins no longer need to give users broad server-wide access for every task. They can be given access to specific applications just in time for them to carry out their tasks, and this access can be revoked right after their task is completed.

• 04.

  Strengthened compliance and auditing

  PAM solutions track and record all privileged activity, creating complete and tamper-proof audit trails. This caters towards incident responses and the needs of security teams, as well as the requirements that security standards like HIPAA, GDPR and SOX have.

PAM solutions take the pain out of privileged access management. They automate monotonous tasks, reduce oversight and human error, all while implementing industry best practices for security.
