Privileged Access Management (PAM) 

Klensec Privileged Access Management (PAM) Services

Klensec Technology offers specialized Privileged Access Management (PAM) services to secure, manage, and monitor the use of privileged accounts within your organization. Privileged accounts, such as those held by system administrators, have broad access to critical systems and sensitive data. Without proper management, they can become significant security risks. Our PAM solutions are designed to safeguard these high-level accounts, ensuring that access is granted only to authorized users and is carefully controlled, monitored, and audited.

What is Privileged Access Management (PAM)?

Privileged Access Management is a security framework that focuses on controlling and securing privileged accounts—those that have elevated permissions or administrative access to systems, applications, and databases. PAM helps:

• Limit access to critical resources.

• Monitor and log privileged user activities.

• Secure credentials like passwords, keys, and certificates.

• Enforce least-privilege policies to minimize risk.

Klensec’s Key PAM Solutions

1. Privileged Account Discovery and Audit

   • Klensec begins by discovering all privileged accounts across your infrastructure, including those in cloud, on-premise, and hybrid environments.

   • We audit the usage of these accounts to identify potential risks and ensure compliance with security policies.

   • This discovery process helps create a foundation for enforcing least-privilege policies and detecting any unmanaged or "shadow" accounts that could present vulnerabilities.

2. Credential Vaulting and Management

   • We implement credential vaulting solutions that securely store and manage the credentials (passwords, keys, tokens) of privileged accounts. These credentials are stored in an encrypted vault, reducing the risk of theft or misuse.

   • Passwords for privileged accounts are rotated automatically and frequently, preventing the use of stale credentials by malicious actors.

   • Klensec integrates with leading PAM platforms like CyberArk, Thycotic, and BeyondTrust to offer secure vaulting of privileged credentials.

3. Session Management and Monitoring

   • Our PAM services include real-time session monitoring for privileged users. This allows organizations to track, record, and analyze the actions of privileged users during their sessions.

   • Klensec provides tools for live monitoring, session recording, and playback, ensuring that all privileged activities are logged for audit purposes.

   • We also enforce session timeouts and other session-based security policies to reduce the risk of unattended or hijacked sessions.

4. Least Privilege Enforcement

   • Klensec helps implement least-privilege policies, which ensure that users, including privileged users, only have access to the systems, applications, and data necessary for their roles.

   • By enforcing least-privilege access, we reduce the attack surface and minimize the risk of malicious or accidental misuse of privileged accounts.

5. Just-In-Time (JIT) Privileged Access

   • Our Just-In-Time (JIT) Access model ensures that privileged accounts are only activated when needed. This minimizes the window of opportunity for attackers to exploit privileged credentials.

   • Users can request temporary elevated access for a specific task, and that access is automatically revoked once the task is complete, limiting the exposure of sensitive systems.

6. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for Privileged Accounts

   • To further secure privileged accounts, Klensec integrates Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for all privileged access. This requires privileged users to provide additional authentication factors (such as a token or biometric data) before accessing critical systems.

   • We work with leading MFA solutions like Okta, Duo Security, and RSA SecurID to enhance the security of privileged access.

7. Privileged Threat Analytics

   • Our PAM services include threat analytics to detect suspicious behavior from privileged accounts. We use machine learning and behavioral analysis to monitor privileged user actions in real time, flagging unusual activity that could indicate a potential breach or insider threat.

   • We provide alerts and automated responses to mitigate these threats before they escalate.

8. Audit and Compliance Reporting

   • Klensec’s PAM services provide detailed audit trails of all privileged access activities, helping organizations meet regulatory requirements such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and FISMA.

   • Our PAM platforms generate real-time reports on privileged user activity, allowing for comprehensive audits and ensuring that access policies are being followed.

   • We help you demonstrate compliance by providing the necessary documentation and reports for auditors and regulators.

9. Privileged Access Workflows and Approval

   • We implement secure workflows that require approval processes for granting or elevating privileged access. This adds an additional layer of oversight, ensuring that privileged access is only granted when absolutely necessary and with proper authorization.

   • Our solutions enable automatic notifications and approval chains that can be customized to fit your organization's structure and policies.

10. Cloud Privileged Access Management

    • As more organizations migrate to the cloud, Klensec provides tailored PAM solutions for cloud environments. We ensure that privileged access to cloud resources (such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud) is secured and monitored just as rigorously as on-premise systems.

    • Our cloud PAM solutions integrate with cloud-native tools to provide seamless access control, credential management, and monitoring of privileged activities in the cloud.
