Many security incidents stem from compromised privileged accounts, making it essential to establish clear processes and implement the right Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution. Effective PAM helps manage the lifecycle of privileged accounts, ensuring secure access, and continuously monitoring privileged user activities to prevent unauthorized actions and reduce the risk of breaches.
Why is Privileged Access Management (PAM) so critical? The answer is straightforward: it’s vital to protect your organization’s intellectual property and sensitive information, which your business partners and consumers trust you to safeguard. Effectively managing and monitoring privileged access to the applications and systems that store this information is key to maintaining your security posture. Regular access reviews and audits are essential to protecting your reputation and ensuring continued trust from your partners and customers.
We collaborate with you to define and implement robust PAM policies and solutions that manage the lifecycle of privileged accounts and closely monitor privileged user activities, providing you with the security you need to safeguard your most valuable assets.
Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions are essential for reducing risks associated with privileged access and ensuring employees have the appropriate access levels to perform their work. To run an effective PAM program, organizations should consider the following key aspects:
By addressing these key considerations, you can create a robust PAM program that effectively mitigates risk and protects your organization’s critical assets.
Our Privileged Access Management (PAM) assessment and strategy service evaluates the people, processes, and technologies involved in managing privileged accounts and assesses the maturity level of your current PAM program. Based on this analysis, we provide tailored recommendations for enhancing your PAM strategy and implementing solutions to automate privileged account lifecycle management. This helps improve the overall maturity of your program and reduces the risks associated with privileged user access.
While many organizations have traditionally relied on a large number of privileged accounts to manage critical IT functions, we equip businesses with PAM solutions that provide administrators with the exact access they need to complete tasks—without exposing the organization to unnecessary risks.
Our Assessment and Strategy deliverables include:
This service helps ensure your PAM program is optimized, reducing security vulnerabilities and streamlining account management processes.
Our Privileged Access Management (PAM) implementation services follow a structured approach, delivered in Plan, Design, Build, Test, and Rollout phases. We combine both waterfall and agile methodologies to incrementally deploy key PAM capabilities, ensuring a faster and more effective implementation process.
The initial phases focus on delivering foundational PAM capabilities, including:
Later phases of the implementation involve migrating privileged accounts from other infrastructure and key applications to the PAM solution. Additionally, we implement robust user management features, including monitoring privileged user activities across all integrated platforms and applications, ensuring enhanced visibility and security.
This phased approach ensures a smooth, scalable deployment of PAM capabilities tailored to your organization’s needs.
Enhanced Visibility for Admins
PAM provides administrators with a clear view of who is accessing which systems and data. This transparency allows them to identify potential vulnerabilities and proactively mitigate the risk of breaches. With PAM, all users can access the systems and data they need through a single, centralized solution that relies on one secure HTTPS access point, streamlining access control.
Real-Time Access Management
PAM enables real-time session management, giving admins the ability to control access to systems as it happens. This integration with your Security Operations (SAO) solutions, SIEM systems, and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) enhances the efficiency of threat detection and prevention, while also providing an immutable audit trail that simplifies compliance and monitoring.
Cost Reduction
Data breaches can have significant financial and reputational consequences for organizations. By following PAM best practices, you can prevent data breaches, reducing the likelihood of financial penalties, reputational damage, and other costly consequences.
Limiting the Attack Surface
PAM helps protect your organization from both internal and external threats by shrinking the attack surface. Continuous monitoring and logging capabilities allow your admins to quickly identify and address potential security threats, strengthening your organization’s overall security posture.
By implementing PAM, organizations can improve their security, reduce operational costs, and enhance compliance efforts, all while protecting critical assets from potential threats.
We evaluate your current cybersecurity posture and architecture to identify gaps and vulnerabilities that could compromise your security. Our process ensures compatibility by eliminating solutions that fail to integrate effectively, providing a streamlined and secure system tailored to your needs.
We ensure your policies and controls meet regulatory compliance standards and follow identity and access management best practices. Our approach also focuses on aligning solutions with your organization’s existing capabilities, enhancing both compliance and operational efficiency.
We thoroughly review, analyze, and compare current and emerging technologies to recommend the best products and controls that reduce risk. Our team ensures seamless integration and optimization of solutions, tailored to meet the specific needs of your organization and environment.
