Easy to deploy and easy to manage, WALLIX PAM offers robust security
and oversees privileged access rights to critical IT infrastructure.
Check out our conversation with the KuppingerCole analyst Paul Fisher about the state of PAM and how WALLIX differentiates in this highly competitive market.
WALLIX PAM is designed to manage and secure privileged accounts within an organization’s IT and OT environments. Privileged accounts are those with elevated permissions used by people often held by administrators, IT personnel, or third-party vendors, but also software and machines, that provide access to critical systems and sensitive data.
WALLIX PAM focuses on controlling, monitoring, and securing access to these privileged accounts to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access, data breaches, or misuse of sensitive information.
Overall, WALLIX PAM aims to strengthen an organization’s cybersecurity posture by managing and securing access to critical systems, reducing the risk of insider threats, and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
The foundation of our WALLIX PAM solution, Bastion, integrates privileged password and session management. This core technology enables the discovery, management, and auditing of all privileged credential activities.
Manage and control access
Session Manager: only authenticated users are granted access to authorized targets. The audit trail includes full-color video, transcript, and metadata.
Enforce password integrity
Secure machine-to-machine communication
(Application-to-Application Password Management) Eliminate hard-coded passwords in clear text scripts and configuration files for efficient, secure automation.
Seamlessly connect to Cyber Physical Systems
Gain access without changing any processes, installing any fat clients or changing the configuration of remote proprietary applications.

Manage complexity and mitigate risk.
PAM helps mitigate the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive systems and data by managing, monitoring, and controlling privileged accounts. It enforces least privilege principles, ensuring users have access only to the resources necessary for their roles.
By limiting access rights and credentials to privileged accounts, PAM reduces the attack surface for potential cyber threats and insider attacks.
PAM tools centralize the management of privileged account credentials, ensuring strong, regularly updated passwords or using alternative methods like SSH keys. This reduces the risk of credential theft and misuse.
PAM enables controlled privilege elevation processes, ensuring temporary access to sensitive resources only when necessary. Session isolation restricts access to specific resources and prevents lateral movement within a network.
PAM tools often assist in meeting regulatory compliance standards by providing detailed logs and reports on privileged access activities. This helps in demonstrating adherence to security regulations and standards.
PAM tools monitor and record privileged access activities, offering real-time alerts for suspicious actions or policy violations. Auditing capabilities provide detailed insights into who accessed what, when, and for what purpose.
Compliance standards such as GDPR, HIPAA, and others have specific requirements related to access control and data protection. Wallix PAM is designed to align with these regulations, providing features and functionalities that help address these compliance standards.
PAM solutions can offer streamlined workflows for requesting, approving, and revoking privileged access, enhancing efficiency while maintaining security protocols.
PAM solutions can adapt to the changing needs of an organization, scaling to accommodate new users, devices, and evolving security requirements.
PAM tools often integrate with other security solutions such as Identity and Access Management (IAM), Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), and multi-factor authentication tools to provide comprehensive security coverage.
Change management and control for executing privileged operations in systems such as ITSM are linked to PAM and are automatically executed.
“The adoption of the WALLIX PAM was easy thanks to the teams at WALLIX and its trusted partner Cybertech.”
“Thanks to the WALLIX PAM, the product has shown that it is perfectly adapted to our perimeter both in terms of scale and simplicity. To summarize, WALLIX offers the best value for our requirements”
