The accounts that matter most, reviewed least.
Privileged Access manages elevated credentials and the sessions that use them, with time-bounded access and a record of what was done. Our work is finding the privileged population and designing time-bounded elevation with a record.
Privileged Access governs the credentials that can change everything. In most estates those are the oldest accounts, shared quietly, and outside the normal review.
What it is
Privileged Access manages elevated credentials and the sessions that use them, with time-bounded access and a record of what was done.
It is for organizations where administrative access is currently permanent, shared, or both, which is the usual state.
What it does
Elevation that expires
Access granted for a window rather than held permanently.
Sessions that leave a record
What was done under elevation, attributable afterwards.
Shared credentials brought under control
Which is usually the finding rather than the starting assumption.
Where it fits
L1, identity and access. Privileged credentials are the shortest path to every other layer. An estate can have an excellent permission model and still be one shared administrator account away from none of it mattering.
What we do with it
Finding the privileged population
Administrative accounts, shared credentials, and the service accounts that quietly hold more than they need.
Designing elevation
Who may elevate, for how long, with what approval and what record.
Running it
Elevation requests and reviews handled continuously rather than at audit time.
Where it earns its place
An estate with permanent administrator rights
Permanence is the risk. Time-bounding it is most of the improvement.
An organization with shared credentials
A credential several people know cannot attribute an action, which fails the first audit question.
