Introduction

FortiPAM is a privileged access management solution. FortiPAM solutions are an important part of an enterprise network, providing role-based access, auditing, and security options for privileged users (users that have system access beyond that of a regular user).

FortiPAM delivers the following functionalities:

  • Credential vaulting: Users do not need credentials, reducing the risk of credential leaking as no sensitive data is on the user system after a session. Passwords are automatically changed.

  • Privileged account access control: Users can only access FortiPAM resources based on their roles (standard user or admin user).

    FortiPAM offers secret permission control to access a target server. Admin users can define common policies and a hierarchical approval system for standard users to access sensitive information. FortiPAM also provides options to control risky user activities such as a user attempting to encrypt the disk.

    FortiPAM offers ZTNA tag-based and protocol-based access control (RDP, SSH, VNC, and WEB) and allows access from anywhere, including native web-based access.

  • Privileged activity monitoring and recording: FortiPAM can monitor, record, and audit privileged user activities.

    FortiPAM provides information on sessions, user keystrokes, and mouse events.
