Privileged Access Management (PAM)

Privileged Access Management (PAM) is a critical security capability that controls, monitors, and secures access to high-risk privileged accounts such as administrators, service accounts, and system-level identities. PAM ensures that privileged access is granted only when needed, for the shortest time possible, and with full visibility and accountability.

This service is designed for enterprises, financial institutions, healthcare organizations, cloud-native businesses, and regulated industries where privileged credentials are a prime target for attackers. PAM addresses business risks such as credential theft, privilege abuse, lateral movement, ransomware propagation, insider threats, and audit failures, significantly reducing the attack surface tied to elevated access.
