Netwrix Privileged Access Management (PAM)
Session monitoring and audit readiness
Ensure every privileged session is logged, recorded, and readily auditable—helping you meet regulatory requirements and maintain accountability across your critical systems.
Why Netwrix for session monitoring and audit readiness?
Ensure full accountability for privileged sessions
Session-monitoring capabilities allow you to capture everything a privileged user does during a session, including video or text recordings of RDP, SSH, or SQL sessions.
Support strong compliance and audit goals
Regulations such as SOX, PCI DSS, and HIPAA require robust audit trails. PAM session recordings and archive logs provide evidence of who did what and when.
Detect and respond to misuse in real time
Monitoring tools allow live session termination, shadowing, and anomaly detection; reducing risk of misuse during a privileged session.
Enable forensic investigation and continuous improvement
Recorded sessions and detailed logs help you review past activity, identify gaps in process, and refine policies for future prevention.
Key features of session monitoring and audit readiness with Netwrix PAM
Example:
Admin access begins
An administrator connects through RDP to perform updates on a production database. The session is automatically logged and recorded by Netwrix Privilege Secure.
Every action captured
As the administrator performs updates, Netwrix Privilege Secure records each command, keystroke, and action in real time. The activity is also tagged with timestamps and session metadata for easy review.
Suspicious behavior detected
During the session, an unusual command sequence triggers an alert. The security team reviews the live session feed and decides to terminate it immediately to prevent potential configuration damage.
Audit trail automatically generated
After the session ends, all activity is archived in tamper-proof storage. The system automatically generates an audit-ready report showing who accessed the server, what actions were performed, and when.
Evidence supports investigation
When the task is complete, elevated rights are automatically revoked, leaving no standing credentials behind for attackers to exploit.
Result
With Netwrix Privilege Secure, every privileged action is recorded, monitored, and fully auditable. Security teams gain real-time visibility to detect misuse, while audit and compliance teams can easily produce detailed evidence to meet regulatory requirements and strengthen accountability.
