Using the group permissions
and role-based management
features of business applications
that accept or store cardholder
data is not enough to secure
your data and ensure compliance
with PCI DSS requirements. The
cardholder data environment
(CDE) comprises not only your
primary business applications,
but also support systems such
as file servers, mail servers,
backup servers, development
and test servers, and network
devices. This is also extended to
underlying platforms, including
databases, operating systems,
hypervisors and VM hosts. These
system components, as defined
in the DSS, provide access
to protected information and
sometimes even cardholder data,
making them subject to PCI DSS
assessment as well.
One Identity privileged account
management solutions – such
as One Identity Safeguard –
enable you to continuously
manage privileged access to CDE
system components that lack
privileged access management,
thereby filling a fundamental
security gap in traditionally weak
infrastructure controls. While
these solutions will not replace
your network monitoring tools,
when regularly used as part of
an information system security
program, they can greatly reduce
a host of unauthorized access
and system changes and prevent
numerous policy violations before
they happen.
Automating privileged
account management and
streamlining compliance
With One Identity PAM
solutions, your organization can
substantially automate privileged
account management, including
requests, reviews, approvals,
denials and revocations, to help
ensure your compliance with
PCI DSS controls and industry
best practices. Moreover, you
can easily demonstrate your
organization’s compliance by
quickly responding to assessor
and internal audit inquiries using
customizable, out-of-the-box
reports. You can monitor and
report on privileged activities,
including those occurring
during sensitive time periods
or outside the course of normal
business operations.
Plus, One Identity PAM solutions
provide a separate database of
activity records that you can use
to substantiate policy violations
to support personnel sanctions
related to the security of
information systems.
By enabling controlled use
of administrative privileges,
ensuring controlled access based
on need-to-know, and providing
detailed recordings of discrete
activities performed in controlled
environments, One Identity
PAM solutions help you control
privileged access to production
operating environments and
also ensure that critical access
controls are applied to security
architectures in all phases of the
system development lifecycle. By
providing foundational IT security
measures, these solutions enable
you to adopt robust privileged
management and monitoring
practices that augment and, to
some extent, preempt standard
user activity monitoring, malware
and intrusion detection controls.
One Identity PAM solutions
include Safeguard for Privileged
Passwords, Safeguard for
Privileged Sessions and Privilege
Manager for Sudo.
Automate and secure
privileged accounts.
One Identity Safeguard for
Privileged Passwords enables you
to automate, control and secure
the entire process of granting
administrators the credentials
necessary to perform their
duties. Deployed on a secure,
hardened appliance, Safeguard
for Privileged Passwords provides
a compliant and efficient way
to control these very powerful
accounts, ensuring that privileged
access is granted according
to established policies with
appropriate approvals, that all
actions are fully audited and
tracked, and that passwords are
changed immediately upon the
4
expiration of their authorized
time limits.
To further reduce your security
exposure, Safeguard for
Privileged Passwords replaces the
privileged passwords embedded
in applications with programmatic
calls that dynamically retrieve
secured, policy-compliant account
credentials required for the
applications to talk to each other
or to databases.
Simplify control
and monitoring of
privileged access.
With One Identity Safeguard
for Privileged Sessions, you
can issue privileged access for
a specific period or session to
administrators, remote vendors
and high-risk users with full
recording and replay that enables
auditing and compliance. You
also benefit from having a single
point of control from which you
can authorize connections, limit
access to specific resources, allow
certain commands to be run,
view active connections, record
all activity, alert if connections
exceed pre-set time limits, and
terminate connections.
One Identity Safeguard for
Privileged Sessions is deployed on
a secure, hardened appliance and
can be combined with Safeguard
for Privileged Passwords to hide
account passwords from
privileged users.
Centrally manage and report
on the sudoer policy ile.
Take your privileged account
management through sudo to the
next level. One Identity Privilege
Manager for Sudo, part of One
Identity Privileged Access Suite
for Unix, enhances sudo by
enabling you to centrally manage
sudo and the sudoers policy files
with a single system for reporting
on all access
rights and activities. Privilege
Manager for Sudo also provides
keystroke logging, complete with
search and playback capabilities,
for in-depth auditing and
compliance requirements.
