Businesses are increasingly challenged to control access to vital IT systems. Remote work, cloud computing, and more and more applications make controlling access to sensitive data more complex than ever.
Organisations can be at risk of cyberattacks and insider threats as well as human errors. Businesses require a secure solution that can give them complete management over privileged access and make management easier.
ManageEngine PAM360 – Enterprise privileged access management is one such tool that assists organizations in streamlining access control and improving security in their IT environment.
Understanding Modern Access Management Challenges
Access control within contemporary businesses cannot be achieved by mere management of passwords. IT teams have a number of challenges:
Several Privileged Accounts
Enterprises frequently possess hundreds or thousands of administrators, applications, and service privileged accounts. Monitoring access by individuals, and when, may be daunting.
Cloud and Hybrid Environments
Clouding provides new points of access and poses more risks of abuse of privileges. It is very important to monitor cloud entitlement and make sure that access policies are adhered to.
Insider Threats
Sensitive information may be compromised accidentally or deliberately by employees or contractors who have too much access to it. The protection from breaches is necessary by detecting suspicious behaviour in real time.
Compliance Requirements
The regulatory standards (PCI-DSS, NIS2, HIPAA, SOX, and ISO-IEC 27001) stipulate that control over privileged accounts should be very strict. Failure to pass audits may lead to fines and negative publicity.
Complex IT Infrastructure
Contemporary businesses are based on the combination of on-premises systems, cloud-based applications, and IoT devices. The control of access in this diverse environment needs a centralised and simple-to-use solution.
The PAM360: Full-Stack Privileged Access Management Solution
ManageEngine PAM360 – Enterprise privileged access management is developed to address the challenges effectively. PAM360 is a complete-stack privileged access management (PAM) trusted by more than 5,000 organisations and government agencies. It provides IT departments with a central point of control to deploy, monitor, and protect privileged accounts and sessions.
Key Features of PAM360
1. Privileged Account and Session Management (PASM).
PAM360 automatically identifies, accumulates, and keeps privilege accounts of software and humans. IT teams are able to instigate remote sessions, track actions, and document sessions in real time, and hold accountability and transparency.
2. Privilege Elevation and Delegation Management (PEDM).
Too much privilege is a security threat. PAM360 supports just-in-time privilege escalation and least privilege operations. This helps lower the attack surface, as the users can only access it when it is necessary.
3. Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management.
Access control to cloud resources can be a tough task. PAM360 is constantly tracking entitlements in the cloud, detecting exploitable security gaps, and implementing policies to prevent abuse of privileges and non-compliance with policies.
4. Endpoint Privilege Management.
It is necessary to have strict access control in critical applications and endpoints. PAM360 implements granular controls, such as just-in-time, local administrator controls, and child processes, which improve endpoint security.
5. Privileged Account Governance.
Businesses are able to impose role-, attribute-, and policy-based access control. PAM360 makes sure that sensitive accounts and endpoints are accessed by authorised users, as well as endorsing strict governance and compliance.
6. Secrets Management
Machines, scripts, and DevOps pipelines (as well as non-human actors) frequently need secure credentials. PAM360 secures these secrets and ensures the uninterrupted safe running of the automated workflows and development pipelines.
7. Privileged User Behaviour Analytics (PUBA).
The prevention of insider threats is associated with detecting abnormal behaviour. PAM360 is an analytics-based system that detects anomalous behaviour so that IT teams can swiftly react to a possible risk.
8. Encryption Certificate Lifecycle Management.
PAM360 assists in the management of SSH keys and the use of the SSL/TLS certificates to avoid downtime and impersonation attacks. Organisations are able to assume full control of cryptographic credentials.
Addressing Security Risks with PAM360
Modern enterprises face multiple security threats. PAM360 addresses these through:
- Centralised Access Control: A single console provides complete visibility into who is accessing what, when, and how. Centralisation reduces errors and enhances accountability.
- Real-Time Monitoring and Auditing: All privileged sessions can be monitored and recorded. Audit trails help detect unusual activity and support compliance reporting.
- Minimised Attack Surface: Just-in-time access and least privilege policies ensure users only have access when necessary, reducing the risk of misuse or external attacks.
- Secure Automation: By protecting machine and script credentials, PAM360 ensures that automated workflows do not compromise security.
- Behaviour Analytics: Advanced analytics detect anomalies and provide actionable insights to prevent potential insider threats.
