Looking for a clear view of what PAM really is and how Axidian Privilege fits your business? This Q&A explains where it works, why it matters, and how to get started.
Why do companies need PAM in 2025?
The short answer: because credentials are still one of the easiest ways to get into your infrastructure and attackers know it.
According to the 2024 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, 68% of breaches involved a non-malicious human element, such as falling victim to social engineering attacks or making errors.
The report also notes that if malicious privilege misuse is included, the percentage of breaches involving the human element rises to 76%.
This data shows the critical importance of addressing human factors in cybersecurity strategies.
As digital infrastructure grows, so does the attack surface and in most organizations, privileged access remains poorly controlled or even undocumented.
That’s where PAM — privileged access management — comes in. It’s not just about storing passwords or restricting admin rights. It’s about ensuring only the right people, at the right time, under the right conditions, can access critical systems.
What is Axidian Privilege?
Axidian Privilege is our enterprise-grade PAM platform designed to secure, manage, and monitor privileged access across complex infrastructures.
It helps organizations:
- Enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) for privileged identities
- Secure access to sensitive systems
- Log, audit, and analyze privileged sessions
- Secure privileged remote access to corporate resources
- Secure vendor access to corporate infrastructure
- Integrate with SIEM/SOC systems for faster incident response
And unlike traditional tools, Axidian Privilege is a part of a broader identity security ecosystem — including Axidian Access (IAM), Axidian CertiFlow (PKI), and Axidian Shield (ITDR).
Who is Axidian Privilege built for?
The short answer: if you’re responsible for infrastructure security — it’s for you.
Our platform is used by:
- Mid-size and large enterprises with hybrid or complex IT environments
- Teams managing internal IT infrastructure or external contractors
- Organizations that need secure remote access with full session control
- Companies preparing for audits or working in regulated industries
Whether you’re handling admin access, third-party connections, or approval workflows, Axidian Privilege PAM adapts to fit your operational model.
What changes with PAM Implementation?
Implementing PAM changes more than tools — it changes behavior.
With Axidian Privilege, your infrastructure gains structure. Administrators no longer operate with always-on, untracked privileges. Instead, access is granted dynamically, based on defined policies. Credentials are stored securely and rotated automatically. Every action is logged and tracked.
Privileged users will authenticate through strong MFA. Sessions will be time-bound, purpose-driven, and visible. That means you reduce risk, increase accountability, and stay aligned with compliance standards without slowing down operations.
How to prepare for a PAM deployment?
Implementing PAM requires more than software. It starts with clarity.
Here’s what we recommend before any deployment:
- Audit your systems: identify assets and privileged accounts
- Segment the network: define where access boundaries should be
- Map access scenarios: who needs access to what, when, and why
- Set password policies: rotation frequency, complexity rules
- Document everything: security policies, escalation paths, ownership
Before purchasing Axidian Privilege, we offer guided pilot programs led by our dedicated team of engineers. This step lets you see exactly how the platform performs in your environment before any commitments are made.
What if PAM goes down — do I lose access?
No, you don’t lose access if PAM goes down. One of the core design principles behind Axidian Privilege is architectural resilience.
- Vaults storing privileged identities are encrypted and isolated from access gateways
- Encryption keys can be rotated and manually restored in case of failure
- Emergency tools allow safe decryption of the vault to recover critical credentials
- The product is developed with secure coding standards and regularly audited
Axidian Privilege ensures business continuity even in worst-case scenarios. You remain in control — always.
