Netwrix Privilege Secure: The PAM Discovery Tool

Q: What is privileged account discovery and why is it important?

Privileged account discovery is the process of finding every admin and service account across your environment. Without it, hidden or unmanaged accounts can give attackers an easy path for lateral movement and increase your attack surface.

Q: How does Netwrix Privilege Secure for Discovery stop lateral movement?

Netwrix Privilege Secure for Discovery eliminates standing admin rights with one click. By replacing always-on privileges with just-in-time access, attackers lose the ability to use stolen credentials to move from system to system.

Q: Does Netwrix Privilege Secure require agents for discovery?

No. Netwrix offers an agentless PAM tool that scans endpoints without installation. This makes deployment faster, simplifies management, and delivers rapid visibility into risky accounts in your environment.

Q: Can Netwrix Privilege Secure integrate with my existing security tools?

Yes. Netwrix Privilege Secure for Discovery integrates with SIEM and EDR platforms to capture session data, monitor privileged activity, and generate alerts for suspicious actions. It also works alongside traditional PAM solutions to fill visibility gaps.

Q: How can I use this privileged account discovery tool to reduce risk?

By eliminating standing admin rights with one click, Netwrix Privilege Secure shrinks the attack surface. The privileged account discovery tool blocks lateral movement and removes paths attackers often exploit.

Q: Does Netwrix Privilege Secure provide privileged risk visibility?

Yes. With dashboards built for IT and executives, Netwrix Privilege Secure delivers real-time privileged risk visibility. Teams see where privileged accounts exist, how exposed they are, and which need remediation.

Q: Can Netwrix Privilege Secure enforce Zero Trust principles?

Absolutely. As an agentless PAM discovery tool, Netwrix Privilege Secure enables JIT access with MFA for every privileged session. Once work is complete, all rights are revoked to enforce Zero Trust.

Uncover hidden privileged accounts with an agentless privileged account discovery tool. Remove standing access in one click to stop lateral movement.
