Overview
With the rise of large data centers, network operations centers and application maintenance outsourcing, the problem for managing unrestricted admin access has come to the forefront. Typically, in all of the these environments, teams of administrators are required to manage and maintain a large number of systems, network devices or applications using highly powerful access IDs called privileged IDs.
These IDs are so powerful that the person using them can do almost anything on the target – reconfigure, restart, install new systems, remove logs and even remove existing systems – without facing any restriction. To make matters worse, these IDs are almost always shared among the administrator teams, causing accountability concerns and regulatory non-compliance.
Privileged Identity Management aims to facilitate the business by providing a secure yet easy to use solution to these requirements rather than just relying on trust on the administrators. PIM is a domain of Identity and Access Management, focused on the special requirements of powerful accounts within the IT infrastructure of an organization. PIM is composed of password vault, provisioning and user account life cycle management, access management and auditing. It's used primarily for managing administrator activity in sensitive environments, such as production servers, network equipments, application and databases.
In the past, controlling distribution of passwords to these environments or managing host access was enough, but today, auditors have started to pay much closer attention to what administrators actually do in these environments. Auditors now want to monitor, record, and control administrator actions to the finest level of detail possible. Privileged ID Management provides well integrated solutions for accountable and usable User ID Management, Controlled access and Activity Monitoring.
