Protect your most valuable IT infrastructure and assets with PAM
Privileged Accounts – the servers, devices, infrastructure housing your vital assets, and managed by your system and network administrators – are increasingly the no. 1 source of security breaches. Internal and external. Intentional and unintentional.
Privileged Access gives you control: the right access to the right accounts by the right people at the right times.
admin accounts
Too many devices, too many admin accounts. It’s impossible to keep control. Privileged Access Management prevents risk-taking and bad habits.
third-parties
For effective collaboration, partners and suppliers need access to internal systems. PAM lets them do their work without introducing more risk.
audit
Every IT team has to comply with corporate or regulatory standards. Osirium PAM enforces standards and makes audits easy.
operations
IT teams manage hundreds or thousands of devices and systems. Managing account credentials and getting quick access to systems is a PAM super-power!
Every organisation depends on working with partners and suppliers. For effective collaboration, they often need access to devices and services but, do you have full control and visibility of what they’re doing?
Like preventing them from sharing privileged credentials with others? Ensuring they have access just to the accounts they need – and no more?
Deleting credentials when they leave? And if outsourcing IT, controlling what happens when your outsourcers outsource?
All of these mean a mounting potential for major security breaches.
You may have hundreds or thousands of devices and administrator accounts with tens or hundreds of people that need access. Maintaining visibility and control rapidly becomes a real challenge.
And it leads to bad security practices. Passwords written on post-it notes. Unapproved password sharing. Predictable passwords that are easy to hack.
No audit trails of account access and activity. A security breach waiting to happen.
You wouldn’t think it safe to give a trainee pilot the controls of a jetliner. So why do so many organisations have inexperienced admins or junior help desk staff accessing complex, business-critical privileged accounts?
Maybe there aren’t enough specialist skills in place. But giving access to staff who may be under-skilled, over-privileged and under-resourced leaves you wide open to both malicious attacks and inadvertent errors
If credential theft is at the centre of so many security breaches, then don’t expose credentials. With Osirium PAM, we use the model of mapping identities of people to roles on the systems and devices that need to be administered.
Identity in, role out, with access granted to just the accounts they’re authorised for, and no credentials revealed.
Who, what, when, where. Osirium PAM delivers comprehensive audit trails and session recording, allowing for training and incident investigation as well as demonstrating rigorous compliance.
Privileged Access is not just about protecting login credentials. With Osirium, it's also about automating tasks that normally need an administrator.
By automating both routine tasks (‘Start server’, Stop server’, Refresh password’) and complex IT processes, Osirium cuts back manual effort, cost and risk, frees up valuable resources, and reduces the overall attack surface.

The heart of any PAM solution is a secure vault to protect valuable administrator credentials. It goes beyond password or credential vaults and identity management to control which users have access to which privileged accounts on which systems.
Moving beyond protecting privileged accounts is to protect privileged activities - what users are doing with those accounts. Osirium PAM now includes free Osirium Automation licenses. For more information on Automation, please use the link below.
The ultimate audit trail is a session recording that captures screen and keyboard actions in real-time. This can be used for auditing, monitoring third-party access or investigation after a security breach.
Having PAM as the centralised access point for all privileged access and accounts provides rich data that is used to spot unusual and potentially risky access. Behavioural analytics maybe your first indicator of compromise.
Increasingly, organisations are moving IT systems to the cloud. Osirium PAM is available on both the Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS) marketplaces.
In most cases, admins only need access to a specific tool to perform their work. Rather than granting access to the whole system, MAP Server present just the application they need and no more.
There are four key pillars to a successful PAM project. Read this complimentary Gartner report to learn how to make the most of PAM.
