Privileged Access Management
Securing the "Keys to the Kingdom"
Privileged Access Management
Privileged accounts are the most valuable target for any cyberattacker. A single compromised administrator credential can grant unrestricted access to your organization’s “crown jewels”—critical infrastructure, sensitive data, and financial systems.
AlGebra’s PAM Solutions do more than just store passwords. We provide a comprehensive fortress around your privileged identities. By discovering, securing, rotating, and monitoring these powerful credentials, we stop insider threats and external attacks in their tracks, ensuring that “super-user” power is never unchecked.
Leveraging a mature library of PAM methodologies and deployment templates, AlGebra delivers a hardened Privileged Identity framework designed to:
Streamline Secrets Management: Provide administrators and applications with instant, secure access to vaulted credentials through automated injection and rotation protocols.
Harden Critical Assets: Guarantee access is strictly scoped through granular policy enforcement that isolates sessions and prevents unauthorized lateral movement across the network.
Enable Deep Auditability: Go beyond basic logs by capturing full video playback and command-level data of every privileged session, creating an immutable trail for compliance and threat hunting.
Intelligent Account Discovery
- You can’t protect what you can’t see. Our discovery engine scans your entire IT infrastructure to identify hidden privileged accounts—including local admins, domain admins, service accounts, and SSH keys.
- Eliminate Blind Spots: Bring “shadow IT” and unmanaged accounts under central control.
- Increase Vault Integrity: Ensure every powerful identity is accounted for and secured in the vault.
- Strengthen Security Posture: Immediately identify and remediate vulnerabilities caused by orphaned or forgotten admin accounts.
Secure Password Vaulting
- An encrypted digital vault that isolates credentials from users. Administrators no longer know the actual passwords; they simply request access, and the system logs them in automatically.
- Zero-Knowledge Access: Prevent password sharing and “sticky note” security.
- Automated Rotation: Automatically change passwords after every use or on a set schedule, rendering stolen credentials useless.
- Just-in-Time Access: Grant access only for the specific duration needed to complete a task.
Privileged Session Manager (PSM)
- A “black box” flight recorder for your IT infrastructure. We monitor, record, and audit every keystroke, mouse click, and command executed during a privileged session.
- Real-Time Monitoring: Watch live sessions and terminate suspicious activity instantly.
- Session Isolation: Isolate remote sessions to prevent malware from jumping from an admin’s laptop to your critical servers.
- Forensic Readiness: Maintain an unalterable audit trail for compliance and incident response.
Service Account & Secrets Management
- Hard-coded passwords in scripts and configuration files are a massive risk. Our solution replaces these static secrets with dynamic API calls to the secure vault.
- Remove Secrets from Code: Eliminate the risk of credentials being leaked via source code repositories.
- Automated Lifecycle: Manage the complex lifecycle of non-human identities (bots, scripts, RPA) without breaking applications.
- Consistent Policy: Apply the same rigorous security standards to your “silicon employees” as you do to your human ones.
Least Privilege & Granular Controls
- Stop granting default “super-user” rights. We implement a Least Privilege model where users are given only the specific permissions required for their role—and nothing more.
- Role-Based Access (RBAC): Define granular roles for admins, ensuring they can’t access systems outside their purview.
- Separation of Duties (SoD): Enforce policies that prevent a single admin from having dangerous combinations of power (e.g., managing backups and deleting data).
Super User Governance
- Specialized controls for your most powerful users. We enforce strict policies on root and domain admin accounts to prevent abuse.
- Individual Accountability: Eliminate generic “root” logins so you always know exactly who performed an action.
- Compliance Mandates: Satisfy strict requirements for privileged account auditing found in SOX, PCI-DSS, and ISO 27001.
