Imagine a scenario where a global financial institution faces constant security threats, both internal and external. Their IT infrastructure is massive, and privileged accounts, which are often the gateway to critical systems, are spread across multiple departments. Each privileged account holds the power to access sensitive data and perform high-level operations, making them prime targets for cybercriminals and malicious insiders. For this organization, managing and securing privileged accounts is no longer just an operational need, but a crucial part of its risk management strategy.
Here, the integration of Arcon Privileged Access Management (PAM) with Oracle Access Governance comes into play. This solution is designed to protect privileged accounts while helping ensure that access management adheres to governance policies and compliance requirements. This integration isn’t limited to financial institutions but can be applied across any industry vertical and any geographic locations.
In this blog, we explore how the integration of Arcon PAM with Oracle Access Governance helps businesses strengthen their security posture and streamline access management.
Privileged accounts are high-value targets because they can access the most critical systems in an organization. These accounts typically belong to system administrators, database managers, and other high-level users who perform sensitive operations. Compromise of these accounts can lead to devastating breaches, data leaks, or unauthorized changes to critical systems. Organizations must also ensure compliance with strict regulatory requirements like GDPR, SOX, and HIPAA, which demand rigorous tracking and management of privileged access.
In the case of our example financial institution, they realized that their traditional methods of managing privileged access—using spreadsheets and manual processes—weren’t scalable or secure enough. They needed a way to not only control privileged access but also govern and monitor it continuously.
Arcon PAM is designed to secure, control, and monitor privileged accounts. It provides a comprehensive solution for managing privileged access across various IT environments, helping ensure that only authorized users can access critical systems. However, while Arcon PAM provides robust security, managing privileged access at scale also requires a governance layer to automate processes and support compliance with regulatory standards. This is where Access Governance comes into play.
When Arcon PAM is integrated with Oracle Access Governance, the benefits go beyond controlling privileged access. The integration automates governance processes, streamlines access reviews, enforces security policies, and helps ensure that privileged access aligns with the organization’s compliance and risk management objectives.
The integration of these two services offers the following features and benefits:
The agent-based integration of Arcon PAM with Oracle Access Governance works seamlessly to provide end-to-end security for privileged accounts with the following key components:
The integration of Arcon PAM with Oracle Access Governance is more than just a solution. It’s a strategic enabler of security and compliance. It allows businesses to centralize and automate the management of privileged accounts, reducing risks and helping ensure that access policies align with governance standards.
As cyber threats continue to evolve and regulations become more stringent, securing privileged access is no longer optional. The integration of Arcon PAM with Oracle Access Governance provides the necessary tools to help you safeguard sensitive systems, maintain compliance, and protect against insider threats. This comprehensive approach not only helps safeguard sensitive systems but also positions organizations to thrive in an increasingly complex and regulatory-driven world.
