Overview

The nature of cyberattacks is getting sophisticated in the ever-expanding digital workplace. For enterprise IT security teams, protecting privileged accounts, one of the major sources of data breaches, remains a top priority. Cyber attacks can be devastating, if compromised corporate insiders, malicious third-party or organized cybercriminals exploit privileged credentials or unmonitored privileged accounts, the source of attack kill-chain.

ARCON | Privileged Access Management (PAM) offers enterprise IT security, risk and compliance management teams with necessary safeguards to securely manage the lifecycle of privileged accounts. A highly scalable and enterprise-class solution, ARCON | PAM seamlessly works in all IT environments to secure privileged accounts. The solution implements the best privilege access management practices to build a foundation for robust identity and access control IT architecture.

ARCON | PAM the best-fit architecture

On-prem data center environment

• Manages, monitors and controls privileged accounts seamlessly
• Ensures secure access to target systems and applications
• Randomizes and changes passwords frequently to overcome the threats arising from shared credentials
• Secures on-prem data by monitoring every privileged session on a real-time time basis
• Runs seamlessly in Windows, Unix, and Linux operating systems

 

 

Distributed data center environments

• Offers a centralized policy framework
• Ensures each and every access to systems from anywhere is through one single console, ARCON | PAM
• Provides a rule and role-based access control to all target systems
• Implements deepest levels of granular level control over privileged accounts
• Strengthens authentication mechanism with Multi-factor validation and password vaulting

 

 

On-cloud environment

• Offers multi-factor authentication including adaptive authentication for secure access to cloud-based applications, management consoles and virtual machines
• Implements access only on ‘need-to-know’ and ‘need-to-do’ principle
• Provides robust password vaulting along with frequent rotation and randomization of privileged credentials
• Builds unified access control and governance framework to monitor privileged identities
• Tracks and records session logs of all administrative activities in video and text format

 

 

Hybrid environment

• Offers a centralized policy to manage the access control mechanism of all IT operational segments
• EImplements principle of least privilege which ensures limited privileged accounts to manage IT operations on-prem and cloudnsures secure access to target systems and applications
• Ensures robust password vaulting where the privileged passwords are frequently randomized and rotated
• Monitors every privileged session in real-time and generates report for regular IT audit
• Provides just-in-time privileges to restrict unnecessary escalation of privileged accounts

 

 

DevOps Environnement

• Ensures controlled access and protect scripts and other embedded secrets throughout the DevOps pipeline
• Manages credentials used by applications, container platforms, automation tools and other non-human identities
• Tackles and non-human access to CI/ CD consoles
• Leverages native application attributes and role-based access controls to authenticate applications and containers
• Accelerates ARCON | PAM implementation/ deployment through containerization
