Ensure zero standing privileges with Okta Privileged Access

Yes, Okta Privileged Access centralizes secrets management. It vaults and rotates sensitive credentials like, API keys , Active Directory accounts, service accounts, and database passwords, allowing both human users and machine identities to retrieve them securely without hard-coding credentials into scripts or applications, thereby reducing the risk of secret leakage.

Yes, Okta Privileged Access provides session recording and auditing for SSH and RDP connections. This creates a recorded session during a privileged session, helping organizations meet strict compliance requirements while simplifying forensic investigations.

Yes, Okta Privileged Access grants temporary, time-bound access to certain resources Just-in-Time. Instead of having permanent admin rights, a user’s access is created for a specific window and expires automatically, significantly reducing the attack surface and the risk of lateral movement by malicious actors who might otherwise exploit 'standing' privileges. All of these policy controls can be configured per resource type by an OPA Admin.

Yes, Okta Privileged Access is the evolution of ASA. While ASA focused primarily on server access, OPA provides a more comprehensive PAM suite including secrets management, request and approvals, session recording, management for different types of privileged accounts, and more, serving as a complete PAM solution for the modern enterprise. 

Okta Privileged Access is a Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution that helps organizations secure, manage, and monitor access to critical infrastructure—particularly servers, databases, and other privileged accounts. It extends Okta's identity platform to govern access to high-risk, sensitive resources that traditionally fall outside standard identity management, addressing the security gaps around privileged accounts (admin/root access).
