Privileged Access Management
Confidently provide secure, privileged access for authorized accounts, and gain granular visibility into account activity.
The Challenge
- Good governance mandates that sensitive data be accessible only by a privileged account
- These privileged accounts are often shared with multiple authorized users
- External attackers and malicious insiders often target these accounts in an attempt to seize the “keys to the IT kingdom”
- Protecting privileged accounts without unduly burdening authorized users managing multiple accounts is an ongoing challenge
Privileged accounts are the "keys to the IT kingdom"
The Solution
Okta works with Privileged Access Management (PAM) partners to provide secure, user-friendly authentication and account provisioning.
- Centralize identity through Okta to confidently verify and authenticate users for privileged-account access via SSO and MFA
- Customizable and adaptive access policies reduce the verification burden on authorized individuals
- Reduce the attack surface area with automatic privileged account provisioning and de-provisioning
- Real-time access event reporting and API integrations makes suspicious activity easier to spot
Okta seamlessly integrates with PAM solutions to secure your most sensitive data and accounts
