Human admins
Domain, cloud, database, and infrastructure administrators, vaulted and brokered.
Data, Identity & Privacy
Managed PAM. The keys to the kingdom, under lock and watch.
Privileged accounts can do anything, which is exactly why they are the prize. Privileged Access Management vaults the credentials, brokers every session, and records what happens, so the most powerful access in your business is also the most watched.
Why PAM
A privileged credential is the difference between an intruder in one room and an intruder with the master key. Attackers do not break in and stop; they hunt for admin access, because that is what turns a foothold into a catastrophe. Control the privileged accounts and you control how far any breach can go.
Privileged Access Management puts a vault and a broker between people and your most powerful accounts. Credentials are stored and rotated automatically, so nobody actually knows the password. Every privileged session goes through a controlled broker that can record and monitor it. The result is powerful access that is observable, accountable, and far harder to abuse. We run it as a managed service.
The model
Nobody touches a credential directly
Access to a privileged system always goes through the vault and the broker, never straight from a person to the target.

What the broker saw on Tuesday morning
Every brokered session leaves a strip like this one. Five moments from a routine maintenance window, including the one that paged the iTDC.

Session ends, credential rotates, recording seals. The export never ran.
SealedA Security Analyst reviewed the flag with the recording open: a mistyped script, not an exfiltration. Twelve minutes from page to closed, and the whole answer was in the strip. Recordings are retained to your policy and exportable for auditors.
What you get
Powerful access, fully observed
Credential vaulting
Privileged passwords and keys stored in a vault and rotated automatically, so no human knows them.
Session brokering
Connections to privileged systems are proxied through a broker, never a direct credential handoff.
Session recording
Privileged sessions can be recorded and monitored, so there is a full account of what was done.
Threat detection
Anomalous privileged activity flagged to the iTDC, so misuse is caught as it happens.
What it covers
Every kind of powerful account
Privilege lives in more places than human admin accounts. We bring the same control to the accounts that quietly run everything.
Service accounts
The non-human accounts that run jobs and connect systems, often with passwords set once and forgotten.
Third-party access
Vendors and contractors who need privileged access, brokered and recorded, never handed a standing key.
Application secrets
API keys and Machine credentials managed and rotated, so apps stop storing secrets in the clear.

Managed PAM is the Guard and Implement motions around your most powerful accounts. We vault the credentials and broker the sessions, so privileged access is observable and abuse is caught. It is part of Unified Access Management.

Top 10 questions, frequently asked
PAM controls and watches the use of privileged accounts: vaulting credentials, brokering sessions, and recording activity. PIM controls when privilege is granted at all, through just-in-time elevation and expiry. PAM secures the powerful account; PIM makes sure nobody holds that power permanently. Together they cover both halves of privileged access.
No. The broker sits in the path transparently, so admins connect and work normally while the session is brokered and, where policy requires, recorded. The control is invisible in day-to-day use and invaluable when you need to know exactly what happened.
Yes, and that is often where the biggest gap is. Service accounts and application secrets are frequently set once and never rotated, with passwords sitting in scripts and config files. We bring them into the vault and rotate them, closing a risk most organizations have lost track of.
Privileged activity is exactly what the SOC most wants to see. Anomalous behavior on a privileged account feeds the iTDC, so misuse of the keys to the kingdom is investigated immediately, with the session record right there as evidence.
Vaulting and brokering for the highest-risk accounts typically lands within the first quarter. Coverage then extends by tier, so the riskiest paths close first.
Break-glass accounts exist outside the broker with sealed credentials, alarmed use, and a mandatory post-use review. Emergency access works, and it is never silent.
Vendors get brokered, recorded, time-boxed sessions with no standing credentials. Access expires automatically and every session is attributable to a named person.
Who requested access, who approved it, when the session ran, what commands were executed, and the recording itself, retained to your policy and exportable for auditors.
By privileged account count and session volume. Most engagements start with a privileged access assessment, then move to a managed retainer.
