Privileged Access Management

Privilege, granted and governed.

Nexus PAM puts every privileged credential in a vault, grants access just-in-time, records the session and rotates the secret — so standing privilege, the attacker's favourite, simply isn't there.

The problem

Standing privilege is the blast radius

Most breaches escalate through privileged credentials that sit around unused until an attacker finds them. Shared admin passwords, service accounts with static secrets and local-admin rights are the real crown jewels. Nexus PAM removes standing privilege: access is vaulted, granted just-in-time, watched and rotated.

Secrets sit in the open

Passwords in scripts, config and spreadsheets are an attacker's shortcut. PAM vaults them and rotates automatically.

Everyone's a local admin

Broad local-admin rights turn one phish into full control. EPM grants elevation per-action instead.

No record of what admins did

Privileged sessions are often unlogged. PAM records them so there's always an answer to 'who did what'.

Capabilities

Remove standing privilege, keep the work flowing

Vault, grant, watch and rotate — with endpoint privilege management and non-human identity brought under the same governance.

Credential vaulting

Store privileged credentials and secrets encrypted at rest, checked out under policy and never exposed to the browser.

Just-in-time access

Grant time-boxed, approved access to exactly what's needed, then revoke it automatically.

Session recording

Record and index privileged sessions for investigation, audit and accountability.

Secrets rotation

Rotate vaulted secrets on a schedule or after use, killing static, long-lived credentials.

Endpoint privilege (EPM)

Grant elevation per-action and remove standing local-admin rights without blocking legitimate work.

Non-human identity

Govern service accounts, automation and machine identities with the same vaulting and rotation discipline.

Architecture

Zero standing privilege, enforced server-side

Every privileged action resolves per-org policy; secrets are AES-256-GCM encrypted and never returned to the browser; Admin and Super-User areas are role-separated and enforced on the server.

Ships genuine — 27 modules and 304 checks green on the live self-test gate, with a clean dependency audit.

Vault

Privileged credentials and secrets stored encrypted, checked out under policy, never exposed.

Request

Users request time-boxed access; approvals and justification are captured.

Grant

Just-in-time access is provisioned to exactly what's needed, for exactly as long as needed.

Record

The privileged session is recorded and indexed for audit and investigation.

Rotate

Secrets rotate on schedule or after use; standing credentials disappear.

Govern

EPM and non-human identity fall under the same per-org policy and audit.

Deep dive

Just-in-time beats standing access

The most effective control is simply not having privilege lying around. PAM makes access ephemeral: requested, approved, used, revoked.

  • Time-boxed, approved, auto-revoked grants
  • Per-action endpoint elevation, no standing local admin
  • Session recording with retention policy
  • Full, immutable audit of every privileged action
  • Scheduled and post-use rotation
  • Non-human / service-account governance
  • Secrets encrypted at rest, never returned to the browser
  • Deception and policy controls configurable per org

Secrets that don't sit still

Static secrets are a gift to attackers. PAM vaults them and rotates them so a leaked credential is already stale.

Where it fits

For teams that must control the keys

IT operations

Kill shared admin passwords

Vault every privileged credential, grant access just-in-time and rotate secrets automatically.

Security & audit

Prove who did what

Record privileged sessions and keep an immutable audit so investigations and audits have answers.

DevOps / automation

Govern machine identities

Bring service accounts and automation secrets under the same vaulting and rotation as human access.

FAQ

Questions, answered

What does 'zero standing privilege' mean in practice?+
Privileged access isn't left assigned. It's requested, approved and granted just-in-time for a bounded window, then automatically revoked — so there's nothing for an attacker to find lying around.
Are secrets ever exposed to the browser?+
No. Secrets are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM, masked in the interface and never returned to the client. Checkout and use happen under server-enforced policy.
Does session recording cover everything?+
Privileged sessions are recorded and indexed with a configurable retention policy, giving you an accountable record for audit and investigation.
Can it govern non-human identities?+
Yes. Service accounts, automation and machine identities are vaulted and rotated under the same discipline as human privileged access.
