Privileged Session Management Suite
Can you protect your sensitive systems while knowing exactly what was done on them?
Privileged accounts and sessions are repeatedly the target of both insider and external attacks due to the system-wide access they grant. Controlling privileged accounts and sessions improves your security posture and as a result is mandated by auditors who are requesting proof of privileged access control and session activity. Third parties also use privileged accounts to connect remotely to your systems but do you really want to expose your systems' privileged credentials to them? How about if you could let them connect securely without disclosing the system administrator password and monitor their every move in real-time? Being able to isolate, control and monitor every access to your critical business systems is crucial to protect your organization from insider abuse or targeted, advanced threats and provide the proof necessary to meet regulatory compliance and audits.
What is the PSM Suite?
Cyber-Ark's Privileged Session Management (PSM) Suite is a zero-footprint solution that isolates, controls and monitors all privileged access and activity to sensitive servers, databases or virtual machines allowing organizations to:
- Create a single control point to access critical business systems
- Isolate & protect critical IT assets from potential endpoint malware and avoid exposing privileged credentials e.g. to external or outsourced vendors
- Gain full visibility and real-time monitoring on malicious, command-level activity
- Intervene with a privileged session and terminate it if need be
- Perform root-cause analysis for rapid remediation and change management review
- Review video recorded session playbacks for audit proof
- Replace homegrown jump servers with a 3-in-1 next generation solution that offers isolation, control and monitoring for a wide range of platforms and protocols
- Integrate with the leading incident response and security operations tools, enabling seamless logging and alerting of privileged activity
- Easily deploy to environments that may be more resistant to change e.g. Unix and Network environments, by supporting native SSH & Telnet workflows yet enable security teams to implement secure access control, audit and monitoring for these environments
With Cyber-Ark's Privileged Session Management Suite you gain:
Isolation of business-critical systems from potential malware attacks: By creating a secure proxy between administrator desktops connecting to target servers, business-critical systems are protected from malware infection which frequently goes after privileged accounts to gain elevated system access and gather sensitive corporate data.
Continuous monitoring that protects critical servers, databases, web applications and virtual environments: Control, monitor and record privileged access and create full visibility to all privileged users and activities.
Easier audit & compliance: Prove that you know what was done on your systems and easily search, locate and alert on sensitive events with a unified interface across multiple systems.
