Throughout the whole process audit everything and utilise adaptive risk based controls, by providing session capture and integration with SIEM technologies such as Splunk.

Zero Trust Privilege ready for the future

Legacy Privileged Access Management (PAM) is only focussed on the infrastructure, databases and network devices. In today’s networks it is a requirement to extend this into cloud environments, big data frameworks and container based architectures. With DevOps methodologies, it is fundamental to be able to automate and provide fully robust secure APIs to authenticate and secure privilege requests for services.
