ManageEngine has added a number of AI-based capabilities to its privileged access management platform PAM360.
According to the company, traditional PAM models rely on static policies and don’t have sufficient context, resulting in excessive permissions, entitlement drift, and configuration errors.
These updates aim to reduce those issues by automating the process of generating least privilege policies and remediating shadow admin risks.
The new capabilities streamline vendor access via automated onboarding and offboarding, just-in-time access with time-bound controls, and hands-free transfers of privileged data.
“Privileged task automation in PAM360 eliminates the need for administrators to manually grant and revoke necessary access privileges for every automated routine. Access is provisioned just in time, based on the task context, and revoked automatically once the task ends. This not only preserves admin bandwidth, but also reduces the risk of privilege misuse caused by excessive or standing access,” said Ramanathan Kannabiran, director of product management at ManageEngine.
These new capabilities are powered by Qntrl, which is a workflow orchestration platform from Zoho, ManageEngine’s parent company. Its integration into Zoho’s ecosystem enables “seamless orchestration of privileged access workflows—enhancing efficiency without compromising security,” the company wrote in an announcement.
