The 12Port Platform is a Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution that operates on a Zero Trust model to secure, monitor, and control access to critical systems and accounts for both human and machine identities. It is designed for on-premises, cloud, hybrid, and distributed IT environments. The system utilizes an agentless, multi-tenant architecture with a peer node framework to provide a secure single point of entry, facilitating connectivity to isolated networks without requiring endpoint software installation or network configuration changes.
Key capabilities include credential vaulting, just-in-time (JIT) access, automated credential lifecycle management, and role-based access controls (RBAC) to enforce least privilege principles. The platform provides real-time monitoring and recording of protocol-agnostic remote sessions, secured via multi-factor authentication and automated approval workflows. It incorporates an AI-powered analytics engine for real-time risk detection and adaptive policy enforcement. The system uses a FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic module to secure secrets and generates comprehensive audit trails for regulatory compliance support.
