Privileged Access Management (PAM)

Protect critical accounts with advanced privilege controls. Forgepath replaces standing admin access with time-bound, auditable elevation that fits how your teams work.

From Standing Admins to Just-In-Time

Shrink Blast Radius. Prove Control.

Privilege sprawl turns routine maintenance into breach pathways. We design PAM so elevation is temporary, scoped, and traceable—admin power appears only when needed and disappears on schedule. That means role tiering, strong authentication, JIT elevation with approvals, and JEA to constrain dangerous commands. We align controls across consoles, CLIs, and automation so privileged work is possible without permanent keys or broad groups.

Evidence matters. Your auditors and customers want to know who had what, when, and why. We implement vaulting and rotation for credentials and secrets (including service accounts and non-human identities), session brokering/recording where appropriate, emergency access that’s safe and testable, and monitoring that flags suspicious privileged actions. The result is tighter control with less friction—operators keep shipping, and leaders get verifiable assurance.

Focus On What Matters

Inside Your Privileged Access Management Service

Time-bound elevation, constrained commands, safe credential handling, and evidence you can stand behind.

Right power, right moment.

  • Tiered admin model for endpoints, servers, cloud, and SaaS.
  • JIT elevation with approval and expiry; MFA and risk signals enforced.
  • JEA/role scoping to limit high-risk actions (e.g., directory, backups, security tools).

No more sticky keys.

  • Centralized vault for shared/admin accounts, rotation and checkout policies, and automatic check-in.
  • Coverage for service accounts, SSH keys, API tokens, and CI/CD secrets.
  • Least-privilege design for vault operators and break-glass storage.

Trust—but verify.

  • Session brokering/recording where appropriate; keystroke/command capture for sensitive systems.
  • Command allowlists/denylists, elevation transcripts, and tamper-evident logs.
  • Alerts for dangerous patterns (mass changes, tool disablement, bulk exports).

Prepared for the worst day.

  • Dual-controlled emergency access, sealed procedures, and regular tests with proof.
  • Continuous signals: new permanent admins, bypassed MFA, stale privileged groups, vault drift.
  • Evidence packs (logs, tickets, approvals) mapped to controls.
