Privileged access management for enterprise security
Privileged accounts provide powerful access to critical systems, applications, data, and infrastructure. Reduce standing privilege and risk with a solution that controls and monitors elevated access.
OpenText™ NetIQ™ Privileged Access Manager (PAM) eliminates the need to distribute root-account credentials to your administrative staff. This offering delegates administrative access using centralized policies. 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.
Why NetIQ PAM?
NetIQ PAM stands out with its holistic approach to privileged access management (PAM), integrating robust security features, advanced automation, and a user-friendly design into a scalable platform.
- Precision
Manage access rights easily with granular control
Fine-tune access through ActiveView to ensure nuanced, role and responsibility-based privileges. - Visibility
Swiftly identify threats and anomalies across the enterprise
Monitor activity through the entire privileged identity lifecycle, enhancing security and compliance. - Automation
Streamline processes to free IT
Built-in workflow automation handles privileged account management so staff can focus on priority projects.
PAM has reduced access request time by 50 percent, cutting the bureaucracy involved. The risk of password disclosure is much reduced as all passwords are reset after a maximum of eight hours, further tightening our security for these critical systems.

Use cases
Enforce strict access controls, mitigate risk, and meet regulatory requirements efficiently. Gain visibility into who accesses critical systems and when via comprehensive tools that monitor, manage, and audit privileged user activity.
-
Implement a unified platform for managing privileged access, including advanced controls for monitoring and auditing activities.
-
Identify and respond to risky privileged activity using policy-based controls and supported risk integrations.
-
Ensure access is granted based on roles, contexts, and risk levels through granular policy definitions.
-
Automate privileged account discovery and onboarding, credential rotation, access requests, and just-in-time privileged access.
-
Reduce standing privilege, secure administrator access, or produce audit-ready evidence. Grant privileged access only when needed and for the time required. Policy-driven, just-in-time access reduces standing privilege, limits credential exposure, and supports zero trust and least privilege.
-
Implement a user-friendly interface that enables administrators to quickly configure settings, monitor activities, and generate reports. Reduce the learning curve for new users and enhance the efficiency of privilege management tasks.
Key features
Mitigate risks associated with privilege abuse and simplify administration, enhancing overall security and operational efficiency.
Enterprise credential vault
Secures, rotates, and controls privileged credentials while enabling administrators to access critical systems without exposing sensitive passwords.
Privileged session monitoring and recording
Monitors privileged sessions in real time, records session video, captures keystrokes and commands for audits, and intervenes by suspending or terminating suspicious sessions.
Risk-aware privileged access
Applies risk-aware controls to privileged access using contextual signals and integrated authentication services. Strengthens security by adapting access decisions when elevated risk is detected.
Just-in-time privileged access
Grants temporary privileged access only when needed and for only as long as required. Reduces standing privilege with time-limited access based on defined policies and requests.
Non-human privileged credentials
Secures and manages privileged credentials used by apps, services, and automations. Reduces hard-coded secrets with centralized credential management and application-to-application password access.
Application-to-application credential management
Manages application credentials centrally so apps and services can retrieve passwords securely. Supports controlled access and credential rotation.

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 are people with elevated access to critical systems, applications, infrastructure, or data beyond standard user permissions. They often include system administrators, database administrators, developers, support staff, and contractors. Because this access can make high-impact changes, organizations need to control when it is granted, limit it to what is required, and monitor how it is used.
-
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.
-
NetIQ PAM 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.
