Privileged User Access

Privileged User Access (or Privileged Account Management) is focused on the special requirements of powerful accounts within the IT infrastructure of an enterprise. It is frequently used as an information security and governance tool to help companies in meeting compliance regulations and to prevent internal data breaches through the use of privileged accounts. The management of privileged identities can be automated to follow pre-determined or customized policies and requirements for an organisation or industry.

Privileged Account Management technology needs to accommodate for the special needs of privileged accounts, including their provisioning and life cycle management, authentication, authorisation, password management, auditing, and access controls.
