Article Summary
Privileged Access Management (PAM) is an IT security solution to help you to manage and protect privileged accounts on computer systems. The module works based in administrative rights to control access to critical system data and resources.
PAM provides essential features to manage and protect the credentials of these accounts, including their generation, secure storage, rotation and recovery in case of need. In addition, it is also possible to include functions for rotating service and software accounts on target systems to enhance system security.
To access the tool, it is necessary to use a web console or an API to allow human or software users to interact with privileged account credentials in a safe and controlled manner.
To organize your PAM you will use Devices and Credentials.
- Devices are elements managed by the solution such as Servers, Workstations, Network Assets, Web Applications and others.
- Credential is the username and password associated with a device that will provide your remote access.
Info
It is important to be aware that each credential belongs to a device. But one credential can be used in multiple devices and products on the platform.
This means that the device must be registered before the credential. But this device doesn't exactly needs to be a hardware. It can be a service accessible by network address and can have connectivity within the protocols supported by senhasegura.
