Netwrix Privileged Access Management (PAM)

Eliminate privileged account sprawl

Regain control over privileged access and reduce your attack surface.

Why Netwrix for privileged account sprawl?

Netwrix Privilege Secure continuously discovers unmanaged, hidden, and stale privileged accounts across your environment, helping you eliminate account sprawl, enforce least privilege, and strengthen security posture.

Asset Not Found

Discover every privileged account

Continuously scan to uncover unmanaged, unused, or hidden privileged accounts across all systems and applications.

Reduce the domain admin attack surface

Eliminate always-on domain admin privileges and enforce just-in-time access to shrink the most dangerous attack vectors.

Support audit readiness

Maintain a complete, auditable inventory of privileged accounts and their activity for easier compliance with SOX, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and more.

Enhance existing PAM investments

Bring your own vault (BYOV) and integrate with existing PAM tools to extend their reach and improve privileged account hygiene.

Features that eliminate privileged account sprawl

Continuous privileged account discovery

Example:

Hidden accounts discovered

During a security assessment, the IT team uses Netwrix Privilege Secure to scan Active Directory and cloud systems. The scan uncovers multiple dormant local admin accounts and an orphaned domain admin account that had not been used in over six months.

Excess privileges analyzed

Further analysis reveals that several service accounts and legacy admin profiles still have elevated permissions, even though their applications were decommissioned. These findings highlight potential entry points for attackers.

Just-in-time access implemented

The IT team removes persistent domain admin accounts and implements just-in-time privileged access. Admins now receive temporary credentials only when required for maintenance or troubleshooting

Integration strengthens oversight

Netwrix Privilege Secure integrates with the organization’s existing PAM vault, enabling consistent control, credential rotation, and visibility across all privileged accounts.

Continuous monitoring maintains hygiene

A detailed session report is automatically created, showing who accessed what, when, and what actions were performed — helping the organization demonstrate compliance and maintain accountability for all third-party activity.

Result

With Netwrix Privilege Secure, organizations continuously discover and clean up unmanaged privileged accounts, enforce least privilege, and eliminate standing admin rights. This reduces the domain admin attack surface, supports audit readiness, and strengthens overall security posture.
