About this task
In a PAM solution, users must check out privileged accounts to use them. For example, a database
administrator wants to update a table in a database. The user checks out the credentials from the
PAM solution, and then uses them on the database. The PAM solution tracks who is using the
credentials (who) and the time frame (when). Guardium
Insights SaaS can connect to a secret server and correlate PAM
data with database events, and identify the potential threat actor.
