Privileged Access Management
PAM solutions manage privileged accounts and sessions through configured credential, access and monitoring functions.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Discovery, credential management and time-limited access can reduce uncontrolled privileges. Session controls differ across systems and access paths.
A vault alone does not cover every administrative workflow. Emergency access, service identities and third-party work require suitable handling.
What turns activity into demand
Evaluate how access is requested, used and closed. Separate PAM software from broader identity governance and managed security services.
The commercial boundary
Separate PAM software from broader identity governance and managed security services.
