EmpowerID Privileged Access Management (PAM) is a modern multi-Cloud era solution for achieving zero-standing privilege by delivering the right access, at the right time, to the right identities, across every workload. EmpowerID supports a lightweight agentless and vaultless "Advanced PAM" deployment model, enabling a new level of protection and simplicity across Cloud and on-premise environments. For traditional "Basic PAM" use cases, EmpowerID includes a secure vault where access to credentials is controlled by granular policies determining who may request which credentials, for how long, and if the credential's password should be rotated upon check-in or on a schedule.
Basic PAM versus Advanced PAM
EmpowerID Privileged Access Management (PAM) is a modern solution for achieving zero-standing privilege, by providing the right access, to the right identities, at the right time, across any workload, in the multi-Cloud era. EmpowerID offers two PAM deployment models: "Advanced PAM" and "Basic PAM". The "Advanced PAM" model is agentless and vaultless, providing lightweight and robust protection for Cloud and on-premise environments. For "Basic PAM" use cases, EmpowerID offers a secure vault that controls access to credentials based on granular policies. These policies define who can request which credentials, for how long, and whether the credential's password should be rotated upon check-in or on a schedule. EmpowerID's PAM solution provides simplicity, flexibility, and security for privileged access management.
How EmpowerID Delivers Advanced PAM
While many vendors are now adopting the Zero Standing Privilege (ZSP) approach, EmpowerID stands out from other Privileged Access Management (PAM) vendors due to its modern microservices and Kubernetes architecture, as well as its converged Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), Access Management (AM), and PAM SaaS solution. EmpowerID offers a complete and modular converged solution that covers all three areas, with seamless synergy between functionalities. This includes utilizing fine-grained IGA connectors for PAM and integrating with major AM and IGA vendors such as Microsoft Azure using open standards. EmpowerID's PAM solution extends beyond traditional PAM to include Controlled Privilege Escalation and Delegation Management (CPEDM), Privileged IT Task-Based Automation, and Cloud Infrastructure Entitlements Management (CIEM). EmpowerID PAM can be the foundation of your organization's Identity Fabric, providing deep functionality across PAM, IGA, and AM, allowing for an integrated and streamlined approach to identity and access management.
