Next-Gen Privileged Access Management Solutions

Before there were privileged access management (PAM) solutions, it seemed that everyone was given access to privileged accounts with little regard for who had access, when they had access and what they did with that access. As security breaches started to rise and compliance regulations were written, it was obvious that manual processes and home-grown approaches to privileged access management solutions weren’t enough.

Why make the investment to next-gen PAM? After we briefly cover the history of first-gen and next-gen PAM solutions, we will give you five reasons to consider purchasing next-gen PAM solutions:

•   Reason 1: Easy to deploy
•   Reason 2: Transparent and frictionless
•   Reason 3: Operations- and automation-ready
•   Reason 4: Scale and transform with your business
•   Reason 5: An identity-centered approach to PAM.

Security Starts Here – Privileged Access Management

Unfortunately we can’t control the activities of our administrators with an invisible Vader-like grip. And if these permissions fall into the wrong hands, even the ‘ultimate power in the universe’ of can’t save us. The threat of a security incident or critical error is very real, and it’s something that auditors are focused on. After all, some damage can be done through a standard user account, but the potential damage is much greater if the compromised account has ‘superuser’ access rights, as demonstrated in this news report excerpt.

The One Identity family of solutions includes each of the capabilities discussed in this report. It includes the breadth to cover not only your AD-centered needs but also identity governance and administration and privileged access management regardless of the location of resources – on-prem, in the cloud, or hybrid. One Identity is different from most IAM vendors, because it offers the business-centric, modular and integrated approach that has been so elusive in legacy solutions and offers the breadth missing in AD, IGA and PAM point solutions.

Is Biometrics the future of security?

One of the first things that every IT security professional need to know is that there are no “silver bullets” in this field. Defense in depth is one of the oldest IT security concepts. Its main point is that “layered security mechanisms increase security of the system as a whole. If an attack causes one security mechanism to fail, other mechanisms may still provide the necessary security to protect the system. Behavioral biometrics methods, such as keystroke dynamics or mouse movement analysis are ideal additional layers of defense. Besides the usual preventive security systems, such as firewalls or security doors, enterprises can introduce these solutions easily, without subjecting their employees to obtrusive analyses. More importantly, these provide results in real- time, able to monitor the activities of users continuously and accurately enough to avoid false alerts.

One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Analytics integrates data from our session management solution, with a variety of logs and contextual data points. Our thirteen algorithms scrutinize seventeen behavioral characteristics generating user behavior profiles for each individual privileged user that are continually adjusted using machine learning.

The Breach Prevention Playbook

Identity and access management (IAM) – which exists to ensure that the right people can get to the right resources and that you can prove they are doing it right – is the most effective, and proactive, tool in the fight against breaches. Once the basics discussed earlier are satisfied, IAM will provide the biggest security bang for the buck. After all, a breach is nothing more than the wrong person getting their hands on something they shouldn’t, and you don’t find out about it until it’s too late.

This ebook will address various facets of IAM, how they play in breach prevention, and some detail on technology solutions from One Identity.

What do your Peers have to Say about One Identity Safeguard

Privileged Access Management (PAM) is an established security countermeasure, but the current threat environment and compliance burdens render manual approaches to PAM inadequate. A PAM solution is now essential. A range of choices is available, with the next generation offering the best functionality with the least friction.

This paper examines the factors that go into selecting a PAM solution, based on experiences described by One Identity Safeguard users on IT Central Station. They recommend assessing a potential PAM solution for its ease of deployment and use, its transparency, scalability, and ability to work with existing IT and business operations.

2020 KuppingerCole Leadership Compass for PAM

Privileged Access Management (PAM) is one of the most important areas of risk management and security in any organization. Privileged accounts have traditionally been given to administrators to access critical data and applications. But, changing business practices, hybrid IT, cloud and other aspects of digital transformation has meant that users of privileged accounts have become more numerous and widespread. To reduce the risk of privileged accounts being hijacked or fraudulently used, and to uphold stringent regulatory compliance within an organization, a strong PAM solution is essential.

This report is an overview of the market for Privilege Access Management (PAM) solutions and provides a compass to help buyers find the solution that best meets their needs. KuppingerCole examines the market segment, vendor functionality, relative market share, and innovative approaches to providing PAM solutions.

Strategies for successfully managing privileged accounts

One of the most important aspects of an identity and access management (IAM) program is the securing, management and governance of the accounts belonging to superusers — privileged accounts.

Privileged account management (PAM) ensures that administrators and superusers with privileged accounts have the access they need to do their jobs. Organizations that rely excessively on sudo, credential vaults and the best intentions of administrators have difficulty complying with governance requirements, but they can get PAM right by following a few simple guidelines and rules.

One Identity for privileged account management offers a credential vault, audit capabilities and a suite of solutions for control of administrator access across the enterprise, helping organizations manage their privileged accounts successfully.
