Secure assets by protecting and managing elevated user entitlements

DXC Privileged Access Management



Increase control over your critical system accounts, consistently enforce access policies and ensure regulatory compliance  

DXC Privileged Access Management (PAM) is a powerful security control that protects your most critical accounts. You can manage compliance and mitigate risks by enforcing consistent access polices, maintaining robust audit trails and ensuring only qualified staff make approved changes. With PAM, DXC enables organizations to secure, manage, and track privileged credentials whether on premises or in the cloud, across operating systems, databases, applications and devices. You will also be able to automatically refresh credentials on remote machines and safely store the new credentials with no human intervention, in line with your access policies. You will quickly gain visibility of privileged identity risks and demonstrate regulatory compliance with PAM services that scale rapidly for regional or global IT operations.

Features

We help you quantify the number, type and risk exposure of your estate’s admin accounts.

Managing account credentials is all about knowing the admin accounts you have, and getting them under secure management with a credential vault. Credentials can be checked in and out with a policy applied to refresh a password after every use. Linking with an IT Service Management (ITSM) system, like ServiceNow, allows for change tickets to be linked with PAM approval workflows, so access is only granted as part of a planned and approved change request. A user need never see their credentials, as the vault passes them directly to the PAM Session Manager, which signs on the user.

Within a managed PAM session each command can be filtered by the policy and each key stroke or mouse click recorded. The session manager can enforce use of multi-factor authentication (MFA) or other access policies consistently, regardless of the target system being accessed. End users also have a smoother login experience as the session manager provides them with single-sign-on to the accounts they have been authorized to access. It also automates the task of changing passwords or keys after use for the admin staff.

Who can benefit

Consider DXC PAM for your business if:

  • You operate in heavily regulated markets that require compliance with regulations and enforcement of access policies to defend privileged entitlements from abuse by internal and external threats. Regulations require enterprises to demonstrate enforcement of their access policies to remain compliant with legislation or industry best practice.  
  • You need more advanced technology for your admin accounts with elevated privileges to protect against threat actors who are intent on stealing sensitive personal data or proprietary intellectual property, or extorting money with ransomware. Robust capabilities are required to know what accounts you have, to be able to enforce consistent access polices across them, maintain audit trails, and ensure they are only used by qualified staff as part of planned and approved change tasks.   
  • You haven’t completely locked down unapproved actions. Some staff, with the best of intentions, will make unauthorized changes when they are logged in as an admin but such changes can still seriously interrupt operations and destroy or leak sensitive data.
