Privileged Access Management (PAM) kya hai? Explained in simple Hindi

Privileged Access Management (PAM) ek security practice hai jo organizations mein high-level access aur permissions ko manage aur control karne ke liye istemal hoti hai. Iska main focus un users ya systems ko protect karna hota hai jinke paas critical systems aur sensitive data ka access hota hai, jaise admin accounts, root access, ya other privileged accounts.

• 1. Privileged Accounts ko Manage Karna : Admin, root, aur service accounts jaise accounts ka access tightly control kiya jata hai kyunki inke paas organization ke core systems tak full access hota hai.
• 2. Least Privilege Principle : Ismein users ko sirf wahi access diya jata hai jo unhe kaam karne ke liye zaroori ho, taaki unnecessary access ke risk ko kam kiya ja sake.
• 3. Just-in-Time (JIT) Access : Privileged access ko temporary access bana diya jata hai, jisme ek limited time ke liye hi kisi user ko special permissions milti hain, uske baad access revoke ho jata hai.
• 4. Session Monitoring and Auditing : PAM tools session recording aur real-time monitoring ki madad se privileged actions ko track karte hain, taaki kisi bhi suspicious activity ka pata lagaya ja sake.
• 5. Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) : High-level accounts ke liye additional security layers jaise MFA ensure karte hain ki unauthorized users privileged access na le sakein.
• 6. Password Vaulting : Privileged accounts ke passwords ko ek secure vault ya repository mein store kiya jata hai, jaha se only authorized users ko password milta hai.

Inka fayda ye hota hai ki organiza tion apne critical infrastructure aur sensitive information ko insider threats, cyber attacks, aur accidental mishandling se protect kar sakte hain.
