Summary:
IBM Security Verify Privilege Manager is a comprehensive privileged access management (PAM) solution designed to control, monitor, and audit privileged user activities and access across an enterprise's IT environment. This solution is essential for mitigating risks associated with privileged accounts, which are often targeted by cyber attackers due to their high-level access rights. IBM Security Verify Privilege Manager ensures that privileged access is granted securely and efficiently, with strict controls and oversight, thereby protecting critical systems and data from unauthorized access and potential breaches.
Key Features:
- Privileged Account Management: Securely manages and monitors privileged accounts to prevent unauthorized access to critical systems.
- Session Recording and Monitoring: Captures and audits privileged session activities, providing visibility into actions performed with elevated rights.
- Least Privilege Enforcement: Implements the principle of least privilege, ensuring users have only the necessary access rights to perform their tasks.
- Credential Vaulting and Rotation: Safely stores privileged credentials in a secure vault and automates password rotation to reduce the risk of credential compromise.
- Multi-Factor Authentication for Privileged Users: Strengthens security by requiring additional authentication steps for accessing privileged accounts.
