Netwrix's solution
PAM that delivers the essentials, without complexity or compromise
When Netwrix Privilege Secure launched as SbPAM in 2019, we made one bet: a privileged account should exist only for the length of an approved task. In practice, that means just-in-time access is created when it's needed, monitored while it's used, and removed when it's done, across servers, endpoints, directories, cloud, network devices, and databases. So there are no standing Domain Admin accounts and no leftover credentials for an adversary to find.
The product
Why organizations choose Netwrix Privilege Secure
Zero Standing Privilege, by design
Privileged accounts are created for an approved task and deleted when it ends. There's nothing standing for an attacker to steal, reuse, or escalate.
Keep the vault you already run
Bring Your Own Vault connectors add just-in-time control in front of your existing vault, so you can remove persistent Domain Admin accounts without a rip-and-replace project.
Every session ticketed, recorded, and revocable
Sessions bind to ServiceNow incident and change tickets, run with MFA, and are recorded with granular SSH command restrictions and real-time lock or terminate controls. Third parties get the same treatment through browser-based Secure Remote Access, with no VPN.
Protected in a day, not a quarter
Initial deployment takes under 20 minutes and full deployment under a day. Agentless discovery finds the privileged accounts you didn't know you had across servers, endpoints, network devices, and databases.
Customer proof
What customers say
Netwrix Privilege Secure was straightforward to install, allowing my engineers, who were not very familiar with the product, to easily implement it. This helped us avoid large-scale consultancy costs and shorten the setup process to a single day, compared to the several weeks required by other products.
