Wallix Privileged Access Management

Privileged Access Manager (PAM) addresses the challenge of managing and controlling privileged user accounts, primarily administrator accounts, but also critical system accounts.

User account privileges are directly linked to information system security. This is especially true for high-privilege accounts. System security depends not only on configuration, but also on how secure the administrator and system accounts are.

Challenges PAM Addresses

  • Who knows the admin passwords for your servers?
  • How do you ensure regular rotation of critical passwords?
  • How do you maintain a complete audit trail of administrator activities?
  • How do you grant admin access to external maintenance providers?
  • How do you secure system account credentials embedded in scripts?

How PAM Works

PAM acts as a proxy layer. Users no longer access systems directly, but through the PAM system. This central access point enables policy-based access control, session monitoring and recording, and secure, automated password management (rotation, complexity, hidden credentials).
