Transforming Privileged Access: Control Without Static Credentials

Executive Summary

PingOne Privilege revolutionizes Privileged Access Management (PAM) by addressing the 95/5 PAM problem, where 95% of human privileged access does not need static credentials. This innovative solution reduces attack surfaces by eliminating exposed credentials and simplifying operational tasks. With just-in-time (JIT) access and ephemeral permissions, PingOne Privilege elevates security standards beyond traditional methods, offering dynamic control throughout the lifecycle of an access session.

Main Highlights

Solving the 95/5 PAM Problem

• PingOne Privilege targets the critical gap where 95% of human privileged access operates without needing static credentials.
• Most traditional PAM solutions rely heavily on password vaulting, which can be cumbersome and risky.

Elimination of Exposed Credentials

• By removing the need for static credentials, PingOne Privilege significantly reduces potential security vulnerabilities.
• This strategy simplifies operations, allowing organizations to focus on what matters: securing access.

Just-in-Time (JIT) Privileged Access

• Instead of safeguarding access solely at login, PingOne Privilege controls permissions in real-time during access sessions.
• JIT access provides ephemeral permissions that automatically revoke after use, enhancing security throughout an active session.

Dynamic Access Control vs. Traditional PAM

• Many traditional PAM frameworks lack the capability to monitor or manage activities post-login, creating blind spots.
• PingOne Privilege’s model ensures continuous oversight, adapting to the needs of the session dynamically.
