CA PAM 3.0 gives companies the ability to scale their PAM deployments across multiple departments, and provides managed service providers (MSPs) a helpful way to manage multiple instances of the product for their customer base across platforms and infrastructures.
The scalability of a PAM solution is critical to ensure organisations can address and control cyber risk coming from trusted users in any environment, scaling across geographies, departments and hybrid environments. CA PAM supports the alignment of infrastructure allocation with operating systems and databases with enhanced features that enable greater control across the diversity of user access points, whether privileged access comes in the form of "root," "administrator" and "superuser" accounts, or application, API or service accounts with elevated privilege. It is also designed for simple policy enforcement, control and monitoring of users.

It is also designed for simple policy enforcement, control and monitoring of users.
Dynamic cloud environments, which are very much on the radar today, are even more of a challenge for PAM. This is not because these environments are inherently unsecure, but because aspects of security (especially with regard to the varied levels of privileged access) are often overlooked.*
“Many organisations today are transforming themselves digitally to capitalise on the opportunities in the application economy. However, this can elevate cyber risks as it inevitably results in more entry points that are accessible by a greater number and more diverse set of identities. This will lead to an increase in attack vectors if not managed properly,” said Lim Teng Sherng, VP, Security, Asia Pacific & Japan, CA Technologies.
“To reap the full benefits of digitalisation, organisations need to integrate privileged access management at the onset and at every stage of any digital initiatives. This will require an advanced, consolidated and versatile PAM solution that can adjust, adapt and scale with the business requirements and risks throughout the enterprise’s digital transformation journey.”
New features of CA PAM to reduce cyber risk from trusted users include:
- A new simplified Management Console designed to provide visibility across security-as-a-service and multi-department deployments.
- Enhanced clustering capabilities and concurrent session performance assures large, global enterprises and MSPs consistent policy across clusters and instances.
- Augmented session recording encryption and crypto module enhancements across deployments of all sizes. Gartner recommends that security and risk management leaders responsible for delivering identity and access management (IAM) capabilities “deploy session recording as soon as possible, because this capability will add accountability and visibility for privileged activity. Include this capability as part of your selection process.”**
- Localisation that delivers CA PAM capabilities to the Japanese market. As demand for more integrated, global security solutions grow, CA PAM offers multinational companies the ability to manage a single solution with multiple instances.
