Session Manager

A WALLIX session manager works in conjunction with an access manager and password manager, to oversee and ensure that critical information is only accessible to specific users.

What is a WALLIX Session Manager?

A WALLIX session manager allows real-time observation and command of all privileged account sessions as way of preventing and monitoring any malevolent behaviours.

Privileged session management can be incorporated within current SIEM, Security Automation and Orchestration (SAO) and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) will enable SecOps to detect and halt dubious or illegal activities at once. Additionally, a WALLIX session manager provides an accurate audit trail that allows for compliance as well as the research into incidents.

A WALLIX session manager is an important component of your privileged access management (PAM) system that controls its flow and function. The purpose of PAM is to control and restrict users’ entry into specific applications, programs, and other vital data within an organization. In doing so, a session manager operates simultaneously with an access manager as well as a password manager such that there is no chance for unauthorized individuals accessing these sorts of information.

Key benefits of a session manager include:

  1. Monitoring, auditing, and controlling privileged sessions are important.
  2. ERP against insider attacks, privilege escalation to accounts, issues of access by third parties.
  3. Proving compliance with regulations such as HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, SOX, NYCRR 500, NIST SP 800 and others.
  4. Incident response will be accelerated by automatic response and mitigation alongside searchable database and video records that allow for a post-mortem analysis from beginning to end.

Here’s the features you need from a good session manager:

Real-time monitoring and control

Monitor sessions of authorized users, receive warning signals whenever anything out of the ordinary happens and end any session when it is necessary.

Real-time control systems

Employ restrictions against actions that are prohibited for every user account with privileges in addition establish guidelines for automatic activation of alerts or stopping user access in case some suspicious activities are detected at specified times.

Compliance and audit systems

An auditing trail kept without FAULT or DECEIT is needed for every deed carried on. There should be a DVR style recording capturing each and every screen-related activity like mouse moves, keystrokes etc such that they are all preserved unaltered. It is very important that the WALLIX session manager has an OCR system which allows one to find any kind of action ruthlessly.

Easy deployment

A WALLIX session manager that is simple and widely accepted is the best. The estimated ultimate usage rate of your PAM solution can be measured by looking at how long it takes to deploy and how complex the process is. Longer deployment takes more effort in terms of maintenance, thus leading to a lower likelihood of utilization.

WALLIX has all of this and more

WALLIX Bastion comes with a simple agent-less architecture aimed at easy and sustainable deployment. Customers have deployed WALLIX in a matter of weeks after struggling with other solutions for months. This agent-less approach also helps to reduce the potential risks that any modifications made on protected systems will require a complete overhaul of the PAM solution.

On one hand, although WALLIX Session Manager allows for easy deployment on one side, its complex feature set can scale up to accommodate even the largest organizations.
