PAM Overview

Privileged Access Management — secure, audit every privileged session


Privileged Access Management

GAccess PAM gives your team complete control over privileged accounts across servers, databases, cloud consoles, and network devices — without the complexity of legacy PAM solutions.

Key capabilities

  • Credential vault — centrally store, rotate, and broker passwords and SSH keys so no human ever needs to know a credential directly.
  • Session recording — every privileged session is recorded and indexed, giving you a full audit trail for compliance and forensic investigation.
  • Just-In-Time access — grant temporary elevated permissions on demand. Access expires automatically, eliminating standing privileges.
  • Password verification — confirm that stored credentials still match what is configured on the target system without changing anything.
  • Unified audit log — every access request, approval, and action is captured in a tamper-evident log.
