Privileged access management is a security system that allows organizations to control and monitor the activity of privileged users who can access the data.
PAM solutions are convenient ways to help administrators monitor access to critical business resources and ensure that systems remain secure. PAM acts as an extra security layer that protects vital business systems and encourages better governance and compliance with data regulations.
Let’s have a look at some of the best privileged access management solutions.

ARCON
ARCON’s risk-management solutions are designed in such a way as to make sure that data is secure. It also safeguards privacy by predicting risk situations, protecting organizations against those risks, and preventing them from progressing into incidents.
Privileged Access Management (PAM) by Arcon allows enterprise security teams to secure and manage the entire lifecycle of their privileged accounts. Its primary purpose is to protect privileged credentials from the exploits of insider attacks and third-party cybercrime.
Arcon PAM has a specialized feature of a secure password vault that automates frequent password changes. The vault is responsible for generating and storing solid and dynamic passwords, which authorized users can only access. Users have to go through multi-factor authentication (MFA) to access the vault.
ARCON also offers native software-based one-time-password (OTP) validation to verify users’ identities. In addition, this tool is integrated with third-party authentication solutions that allow the organization to build layers of authentication around the vault.
The PAM security system offered by Arcon provides a complete audit trail of privileged activities, reports, and analytics of the results, via the solution’s reporting engine. This allows the managers and auditors to assess the organization’s compliance status as needed.
BEYONDTRUST
BeyondTrust is the leading vendor in the market for privileged access management. They offer various solutions that deliver high visibility and security across endpoint, server, cloud, DevOps, and network device environments.
PAM is BeyondTrust’s best solution for managing and auditing internal and third-party remote privileged access without any need for a VPN. It enables employee productivity, irrespective of the location, while keeping bad actors from accessing critical business systems.
Privileged Remote Access offered by BeyondTrust stores passwords in a secure cloud-based on-appliance vault. It is delivered as software by BeyondTrust.
While using PAM by BeyondTrust, do not expose the user’s credentials at any point during sign-in. Admins can also set authorization and notification preferences to receive alerts when accessing Privileged Remote Access. These notifications are remote worker-friendly, thus allowing the admins to approve access requests and monitor usage on their mobile devices from any location.
