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.

    A modern business needs to protect itself from threats that exist both inside and outside its walls. Access security gives businesses the tools they need to see exactly who is accessing their resources, and then control those users’ privilege levels. Three processes are key to this: identification, authentication, and authorization.

    WALLIX protects identities and access to IT infrastructure, applications, and data. Specialising in Privileged Access Management, WALLIX solutions ensure compliance with the latest IT security standards and protect against cyber-attacks, theft and data leaks linked to stolen credentials and elevated privileges to sensitive company assets.

    The Zero Trust model and the principle of Least Privilege are two concepts that are vital to strong access security.
