Privileged Access Management (PAM) enables Australian businesses to safeguard against potential damage or data loss caused by internal mishaps or external cyberattacks. One of the core objectives of PAM is to enforce strict access restrictions and permission controls across applications, devices, systems, networks, and computing operations — allowing authorised activities to flow seamlessly while locking out potential threats.
Often referred to as Privileged Identity Management (PIM), PAM is a critical pillar in modern cybersecurity frameworks. It plays a frontline role in addressing the rising cyber risks and challenges that today’s digital enterprises encounter.
Our PAM solutions are purpose-built for large-scale Australian organisations managing complex IT infrastructures. These solutions protect privileged identities that go beyond everyday user access. As part of the broader Identity and Access Management (IAM) landscape, PAM specifically secures privileged accounts — ensuring that only the right people have the right level of access to your business systems.
In a world where identity infrastructures face escalating security threats, it’s crucial for Australian businesses to invest in dependable, locally-focused PAM services that ensure resilience and peace of mind.
From an IT perspective, “privilege” refers to the authority granted to an individual for a particular account, system, or process within an organisation’s digital ecosystem. Privileges enable authorised users to perform critical functions such as network configuration, device driver installations, and administrative oversight.
However, these elevated permissions also present a heightened risk of abuse, especially if exploited by malicious insiders or external attackers. That’s why businesses must implement robust security measures to safeguard these high-value accounts.
A privileged account is any user account that grants elevated, special access rights — and with such privileges comes greater risk. These accounts can range from local administrative accounts and service accounts to application accounts and domain administrative accounts, each playing a unique role in supporting your organisation’s IT ecosystem.
Non-personal accounts that grant administrative rights on individual machines or systems.
Accounts that offer privileged access across all devices, services, and workstations within a particular domain.
Our advanced Privileged Account Security solutions are designed to secure these accounts, shielding them from both internal misuse and external breaches. Privileged credentials — often referred to as privileged passwords — are the keys to these accounts, and can be linked to human, application, or service accounts.
Because cybercriminals frequently target these credentials to infiltrate networks, devices, and systems, our PAM solutions focus on securing them at every level. According to industry research, an estimated 80% of security breaches involve the exploitation of privileged credentials — highlighting the critical need for proactive security.
Our access control solutions allow businesses to manage, monitor, and restrict user activities — ensuring your systems and sensitive data are safe from unauthorised access. You retain full control over your digital environment while keeping cyber threats at bay.
Session monitoring and recording are vital elements of our PAM offering. This feature enables your organisation to observe and record privileged user activities in real time, ensuring accountability and providing critical visibility into how sensitive data and systems are accessed.
The least privilege enforcement principle ensures users only access the data, applications, and systems necessary to perform specific tasks. This not only reduces security risks but also helps maintain a tight security posture across your IT environment.
Our PAM solutions feature automated credential management to securely handle authentication credentials across systems. This capability also helps identify and eliminate vulnerabilities early, so proactive action can be taken before threats emerge.
Using behavioural analysis and automated monitoring, our advanced threat detection tools identify potential malware and security threats in real time. This feature enables you to respond quickly and neutralise risks before they escalate into serious security incidents.
