Symantec Privileged Access Manager Primary Use Case
MB
Muhammad Baber
System Administrator at Alghanim Industries
We are using this solution to give access to the infrastructure environment to IT people and consultants. Access to the servers is only through PAM. One of the reasons to use a PAM is to manage Linux and Windows passwords, so it takes care of those accounts.
As global admins, there are six people working on this solution, but I'm the only person managing it as an admin.
It's currently on-prem.
View full review »It is for all admins. We need to have a two-factor authentication. So for that, we are using the PAM, Privileged Access Manager product called Xceedium.
We have just put it in QA, so it will go live in production by March or April.

It reduces the viral attacks on my website. It also allows certain users access to see what happens daily.

We use Symantec Privileged Access Manager for controlling administrator and privileged user access. We can check the activities in the server for fragile files and documents in case of any issues.
View full review »I see it performing really well. It has a really good scalability attribute, where you can continuously keep dumping on new users and giving them only the access they need on the projects that they would view. It is very controlling and I really like that.

- Privileged account management
- Session management
- Session recording
- One stop access for all things involving privileged access management.
We look to make sure that there are two HyperACCESS specifications:
- Privileged managements: These are ordered to ensure that all the passwords assume one location so a user can enter and all their passwords are protected. Their passwords cannot be shared because they are rotated.
- The odd user: This user has to go through the system and exercise a chair relay. This should be our Gateway for login.
