Privileged Access Management

Privileged Access Management

BCS has over 15 years of experience in designing and implementing cybersecurity solutions to various verticals such as oil and gas, FMCG, manufacturing, retail, packaging, hospitality, healthcare, real estate and many more industries, by providing cybersecurity consultation services. Privileged access management (PAM) is a critical security measure that helps organizations protect their most sensitive data and systems. By centralizing and managing privileged access, PAM can help organizations to:
•Reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
•Meet compliance requirements.
•Improve operational efficiency.
•Increase visibility and control.
In today‘s threat landscape, PAM is an essential part of any organization‘s security strategy. Without PAM, organizations are at a significantly increased risk of attack.

Most common challenges faced by organizations which are causing struggles are as follows:

Management
Challenges

Managing privileged accounts: Challenging task due to sensitive data access.
Restraining users from sharing credentials: Ensuring confidential credential use.
Identity management challenges: Difficulty in tracking privileged account access.

Technical
Challenges

Privilege escalation as a common exploit: Unauthorized access to higher privileged accounts.
Monitoring privileged account activities: Detecting suspicious behavior for enhanced security.
Risk of untrusted endpoints: Personal devices accessing privileged accounts, increasing breach risks.

Compliance
Challenges

Compromising administrative credentials impact: Potential data theft or operational disruptions.
Identity management complexities: Ensuring compliance with user and device tracking.
Cloud and SaaS adoption implications: Increased attack vector for privileged accounts.

Business
Risks

Costly consequences of credential compromise: Disruptions and potential data loss.
Increased attack vector with cloud adoption: Vulnerability of privileged accounts.
Sensitivity of privileged accounts: Breaches impact operations and reputation.

Secure privileged access for any user from any device

This ensures that only authorized users can access privileged accounts, regardless of their location or device.

Just in time account provisioning for temporary users

This allows organizations to create temporary accounts for users who need access to privileged resources, but only for a limited period of time. This helps to reduce the risk of unauthorized access.

Proxy-based access to privileged accounts to avoid any chances of compromise

This means that users never have direct access to privileged accounts. Instead, they connect to a proxy server that mediates all access to the privileged accounts. This helps to protect the accounts from being compromised.

Auto-manage the credentials and schedule the password rotation policies

This helps to ensure that privileged account credentials are always up-to-date and secure.

Single sign on with MFA to all privileged accounts

This provides an additional layer of security by requiring users to authenticate with two factors before they can access privileged accounts.

Automatic account discovery to identify orphan accounts in the organization

This helps to identify accounts that are no longer being used and can be disabled or deleted to improve security.

Easily create workflows and lifecycle for privileged account management

This helps to automate the management of privileged accounts and ensures that they are managed in a consistent and secure manner.
