Privileged Access Management (PAM) Solutions

Confidently provide secure, privileged access for authorised accounts, and gain granular visibility into account activity.

Good governance mandates that sensitive data be accessible only by a privileged account
These privileged accounts are often shared with multiple authorised 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 authorised users managing multiple accounts is an ongoing challenge

Okta works with Privileged Access Management (PAM) partners to provide secure, user-friendly authentication and account provisioning.

Centralise identity through Okta to confidently verify and authenticate users for privileged-account access via SSO and MFA
Customisable and adaptive access policies reduce the verification burden on authorised 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

Admins can proactively monitor and centrally control access to privileged credentials, on prem or in the cloud, based on pre-defined policies

Secure access control via SSO reduces identity sprawl and password management risk

MFA hardens security around sensitive data, thwarting illicit attempts at privileged-account access

A full range of step-up authentication factor support adds security, extensibility and usability

Organisations can automatically provision/deprovision privileged user and admin accounts, and securely provide direct access to critical assets

Admins can detect, alert, and respond to anomalous activity with deep integrations into Security Analytics solutions

Admins can isolate privileged-user sessions to protect targeted critical systems from the spread of malware

Customisable user experience and access flexibility lets admins provide intelligent, contextual access
