How PAM Privileged Access Management Works

ayshakhatunasha

The PAM system collects data from privileged accounts (system administrator accounts) in Active Directory and on servers running Microsoft Windows, Linux/Unix. This allows you to eliminate the presence of unaccounted privileged accounts, isolate their use and record their activity.

Limited privileged user access is designed to reduce the risk of internal and external incidents or unauthorized access to critical infrastructure components. The PAM solution provides employees with the access to the target system they need to perform their tasks.

Control over the actions of privileged users is achieved by using an intermediate access control and management server (the so-called jump server). In this case, the PAM system manages all privileged sessions in a single point, does not require the installation of additional software, which significantly reduces the costs of managing privileged access.


Privileged users connect to target resources and applications exclusively through the Indeed PAM server. Users can use the web console to view available resources and then connect to them via RDP and SSH.

The PAM system is managed via a web console by an administrator. The Indeed PAM platform allows you to create an organizational structure to restrict access for PAM administrators.

The PAM administrator can monitor user activity via the web console and manage sessions in real time if needed. Indeed PAM allows for automatic revocation of expired permissions, significantly reducing the workload of PAM administrators.

Passwords for privileged accounts are automatically updated and are not available to employees with privileged access by default. When a privileged user connects to a target resource, the Indeed PAM server automatically supplies the login and password. Thus, an employee authorized to manage any servers and business applications will not be able to log in to the resource bypassing Indeed PAM, since he does not know the password.

Indeed PAM acts as a centralized repository of privileged credentials that can only be accessed by those with valid permissions.

To ensure the security of passwords virtual phone number service and SSH keys, Indeed PAM changes them to random ones according to a specified schedule. To comply with the company's security policies, you can configure the complexity parameters of the generated password.

Access to the admin console and for privileged users to connect to target resources can be further protected with two-factor authentication.
