EmpowerID's Privileged Session Management (PSM) acts as a web-based gateway for authorized users to access Windows or Linux servers via RDP or SSH without exposing the servers to network access. It simplifies network security concerns regardless of user or server location. The PSM ensures that the password of the privileged credential is never revealed to the end user, eliminating potential sharing or misuse. It supports a Zero Trust zoning strategy, allowing organizations to use pre-provisioned shared accounts for server access without revealing passwords. EmpowerID's PSM enables admins to define which vaulted privileged credentials are available for specific servers, by zone, helping to avoid lateral movement or pass-the-hash attacks. The PSM tracks and records all requests, decisions, and fulfillment actions for audit purposes. It enforces strong adaptive identity verification and secure password vaulting, eliminating credential sharing or misuse. All PSM sessions can be monitored live and optionally recorded for training, auditing, compliance investigation, or verification. The PSM simplifies audits and saves time and frustration for teams by automating tracking and reporting capabilities. It provides control over access across various environments and supports rapid recertification of group and role assignments. The PSM also includes built-in attestation policies and a risk-based Separation of Duties (SoD) engine to detect and flag toxic combinations of access, minimizing risk and reducing potential fraud and losses.
