Overview

Organizations are collecting and using more data than ever before, increasing breach and regulatory compliance risks. How do you ensure sensitive information is only available to authorized individuals across massive data libraries and distributed staff?

OpenText™ Privileged Access Manager (NetIQ) eliminates the need to distribute root-account credentials to your entire administrative staff. It delegates administrative access using centralized policies. These policies can be configured to allow or deny user activity based on a comprehensive “who, what, where, when” model that examines the user’s name, typed command, host name, and time. You control what commands users are authorized to run.

    • Privileged Access Management (PAM) safeguards critical infrastructure by securing and controlling administrative access across hybrid environments. It uses identity-driven security controls to ensure real-time access policies align with dynamic business needs.

    • PAM is crucial for mitigating security risks, enhancing governance, and simplifying compliance. It continuously monitors and intelligently manages privileges to protect critical assets and ensure adherence to industry regulations.

    • Privileged users include IT managers, system/database administrators, auditors, consultants, and C-level executives. These users have greater access due to their roles, skills, or legacy permissions. Managing them closely is essential to prevent security breaches.

    • The platform aids compliance by automating the identification and management of privileged accounts, enforcing least-privilege policies, and providing detailed auditing and reporting capabilities. This approach reduces audit preparation time and ensures adherence to regulatory standards.

    • OpenText Privileged Access Manager centralizes privileged user access management across the IT landscape, enhancing security measures and streamlining compliance processes. It helps safeguard critical assets and adhere to regulatory standards.
