Configuring Privileged Access Management (PAM)

For a more sophisticated management of critical data and infrastructure, AppViewX allows for Privileged Access Management (PAM). PAM solutions help manage and control the access of privileged accounts (e.g., system administrators, root accounts, service accounts) to critical systems and sensitive data, thus ensuring security and compliance.

To configure PAM settings:
New Menu Old Menu
In the Platform module, from the navigation pane on the left, under VAULT & SECURITY, select PAM.

The PAM page is displayed with a list of devices/objects/applications.

From the main navigation menu, select Inventory > Device.

The Device :: ADC page is displayed with the ADC tab open by default.
