Privileged Access Management
Protect privileged accounts, stop lateral spread, and gain audit-ready control over who can do what across your entire environment.
What Is Privileged Access Management?
Not every account is created equal. Some accounts, like admin accounts, root accounts, or service accounts, can do serious damage if they fall into the wrong hands. That’s what makes them privileged.
The problem is, many of these accounts are poorly controlled. Passwords get shared. Credentials sit unchanged for years. Or worse, nobody is quite sure who’s using them anymore.
Privileged Access Management (PAM) is about fixing that. It puts all privileged accounts under strict control. Passwords are vaulted and rotated. Admin access isn’t handed out permanently. People request it when they need it and lose it when they don’t. Every action is logged. Every session can be monitored or recorded.
And PAM doesn’t just apply to people. Service accounts, scripts, automation tools. They all use credentials too. PAM helps you control those as well.
Bottom line: PAM gives you control over the accounts that matter most. It shrinks your attack surface and makes life much harder for anyone trying to move around inside your systems.
Why Privileged Access Management Actually Matters
Most attacks today don’t start with some fancy zero-day. They start with credentials. And privileged credentials? That’s what attackers are really after. Because once they get those, they can move freely, often without being noticed.
PAM helps stop that.
Block Lateral Movement
Once an attacker lands somewhere, they usually try to move sideways, hopping from system to system. PAM cuts that off. Privileged accounts aren’t just sitting out there waiting to be abused. If someone wants elevated access, they need to request it. And you control who says yes.
Protect Critical Accounts
Admin accounts, domain controllers, service accounts. These have more power than most people realize. PAM makes sure that power is only used when it’s actually needed. And even then, it’s watched.
Compliance Gets Easier
Auditors love PAM. Instead of manually tracking who had what access when, PAM logs it all. Who requested access, when it was approved, what they did. It’s all there, ready to go when someone asks.
Shrinks the Attack Surface
The fewer standing privileged accounts you have, the less there is to steal. PAM helps you eliminate shared accounts, rotate passwords automatically, and limit how long privileged access exists in the first place.
PAM Services That Actually Work
PAM isn’t about installing a tool and hoping for the best. It’s about putting the right guardrails in place, without breaking the way people work. That’s where we come in.
Here’s what we help you build:
Privilege Discovery
We start by finding what’s out there. And it’s usually more than most teams expect: old service accounts, shared admin credentials, things that haven’t been touched in years. We map it all out, so you know exactly what you’re dealing with.
Account Vaulting & Rotation
Once we know what needs protection, we pull those credentials into a secure vault. Passwords get rotated automatically. Shared logins disappear. Nobody’s writing down passwords on sticky notes anymore.
Session Management & Monitoring
When someone does need elevated access, PAM monitors the session. You can see who connected, what they did, and how long they were in there. And if needed, sessions can be recorded for full visibility.
Just-In-Time Privileges
Most people don’t need admin access 24/7. We set up policies that allow users to request access for specific tasks. Once they’re done, the elevated access goes away — automatically.
Integration & Vault Hardening
PAM isn’t isolated. We integrate it with your existing systems — Active Directory, cloud platforms, DevOps pipelines — and make sure the whole thing is locked down and running smoothly.
Why Choose Kommando for Privileged Access Management?
PAM works great — when it’s done right. But honestly? It’s easy to get stuck. Overcomplicate things. Or end up with a system that technically works, but nobody actually uses.
That’s where we help.
We’ve Done This In The Real World
We’ve helped companies roll out PAM in messy, complex environments. On-prem, cloud, hybrid, regulated industries. We know where the headaches show up, and how to avoid them.
Solutions That Fit Your Business
We don’t believe in «standard» rollouts. Your setup, your people, your workflows. They all shape how PAM needs to be built. We design around how you actually work.
Measurable Risk Reduction
The point isn’t to throw in a vault and call it a day. The point is to shrink your attack surface, clean up privileged access, and give you real visibility. And we stay focused on that.
We’re Not Done After Go-Live
Environments change. Systems get added. People come and go. We stick around to help you adjust policies, troubleshoot issues, and keep PAM running the way it’s supposed to. Because the real work doesn’t stop after deployment.
Take Control of Privileged Access
If privileged accounts are still floating around unmanaged, you’re carrying risk you don’t need. But locking everything down doesn’t mean locking people out.
We help you build Privileged Access Management that’s practical. It works with your systems, supports your teams, and makes attackers’ lives a whole lot harder.
