When it comes to granting access, following the principle of least privilege (Zero Trust) is almost a given. It’s a simple rule that ensures users only have access to the specific resources they need to perform their jobs, limiting exposure to sensitive systems and data. However, while this approach minimizes unnecessary access, it doesn’t fully address the risks associated with sensitive, elevated access. This is where traditional Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) tools fall short.
Pathlock’s Elevated Access Management (EAM) goes beyond the limitations of traditional IGA to provide a secure, time-bound, and audit-compliant solution for managing elevated access. In this blog, we’ll explore the challenges of traditional IGA and how Pathlock EAM addresses these gaps and facilitates a Zero Risk approach to access.
At its core, traditional IGA is designed to streamline the provisioning and governance of user access across an organization’s systems. It enables organizations to define roles, grant permissions, and enforce least privilege access. But, there are inherent limitations when it comes to managing elevated or sensitive access, particularly in environments that handle high-stakes functions such as financial reporting, IT operations, and HR data management. Key limitations of traditional IGA in managing elevated access include:
Pathlock Elevated Access Management (EAM) offers a comprehensive solution that addresses these limitations. It goes beyond traditional IGA by introducing fine-grained, time-bound, and auditable access controls, allowing organizations to manage elevated access in a secure, compliant, and efficient manner. Here’s how Pathlock EAM redefines elevated access management:
By going beyond traditional IGA capabilities, Pathlock EAM delivers several important benefits for organizations managing elevated access:
While traditional IGA has made strides in simplifying user access governance, it falls short in addressing the unique challenges posed by elevated access to sensitive systems. Pathlock Elevated Access Management fills this gap by providing time-bound, audit-compliant access, reducing risk exposure, and offering advanced tools for managing and mitigating access risks. Pathlock ensures that organizations can follow Zero Risk principles while maintaining the flexibility and control needed to manage sensitive functions.
