Lack of Centralized Monitoring

Traditional security solutions fail to provide complete visibility across multiple cloud platforms. Security
teams need real-time monitoring and session tracking capabilities for effective threat detection and
response.

7 Ways RPAM Strengthens Multi-Cloud Security

RPAM offers a unified, secure approach for managing remote privileged access in cloud environments.
Here’s how:

1. Centralized Access Management

RPAM consolidates privileged access management across multiple cloud platforms to ensure consistent
and enforceable security policies. Features like role-based access control (RBAC) and least privilege
principles enable organizations to maintain consistent security policies while limiting user access to only
the resources users need.

2. Secure Credential Management
RPAM reduces the risk of account exposure by storing privileged credentials through secure vaulting and
encryption. Regular automated password rotation adds an extra layer of protection against credential
compromise.

3. Privileged Session Monitoring

Real-time session monitoring makes it easy to track privileged activities in the cloud as they happen.
Security teams can watch user actions, spot unusual behavior, and generate audit logs for compliance
purposes.

4. Advanced Access Controls

RPAM offers advanced access controls like just-in-time (JIT) privileged access, which grants users
temporary permissions only when needed. It also works with multi-factor authentication (MFA) solutions
to verify user identities before granting access. Even if credentials fall into the wrong hands, unauthorized
users remain locked out of privileged accounts.

5. Automated Policy Enforcement

RPAM automatically enforces security policies across all cloud platforms, which eliminates human error
and helps ensure consistent security standards. Additionally, the system can revoke access when
suspicious activities are detected, or access periods expire.

6. Cross-Platform Activity Correlation

Advanced RPAM solutions can correlate user activities across different cloud platforms to help security
teams identify potential threats that might go unnoticed when examining each platform separately.
