Despite significant investments in Privileged Access Management (PAM) technologies, privileged accounts are still massively overexposed. Traditional PAM providers have focused on controlling access to accounts and their passwords, not on the activities the administrator needs to perform. The result is an overabundance of privileged accounts and privileged access control groups with standing privileges to the resources they’re meant to secure, leading to minimal reduction of an organization’s attack surface. The overabundance of privilege accounts provide would-be attackers plenty of opportunity for lateral movement attacks.
With Stealthbits Privileged Activity Manager (SbPAM), organizations are empowered to reduce their risk footprint through a task-based approach to Privileged Access Management. SbPAM provides Administrators the exact level of privileges needed, exactly when they’re needed, for only as long as they’re needed, and returns the environment to a no-access-by-default state, immediately upon completion.
