Protect your
most powerful
accounts.

Privileged accounts control everything — servers, databases, network devices, and cloud infrastructure. When attackers compromise one, they own your entire organisation. PAM stops them before they start.

Understanding PAM

Why privileged accounts
are every attacker's
primary target

Privileged accounts — administrator logins, root accounts, service accounts, and break-glass credentials — have unrestricted access to your most critical systems. A single compromised privileged account gives an attacker everything they need to cause catastrophic damage.

PAM (Privileged Access Management) controls, monitors, records, and analyses all privileged account activity — making attacks significantly harder to execute and impossible to hide.

Without PAM vs with PAM — attack scenario
1
Attacker steals a domain admin credential

Via phishing, credential stuffing, or insider threat

HIGH RISK
2
Without PAM: unrestricted access to everything

Attacker logs in, moves laterally, exfiltrates data — undetected for months

BREACH
2
With PAM: credential is vaulted, never exposed

Stolen credential is useless — it rotates automatically and is never visible

PROTECTED
3
Any access attempt triggers real-time alert

Anomalous behaviour detected instantly — session terminated, team notified

DETECTED
🏦

Credential Vaulting & Rotation

All privileged passwords stored in an encrypted vault and rotated automatically — never exposed to users or applications. No shared passwords, no sticky notes, no spreadsheets.

⏱️

Just-in-Time (JIT) Privileged Access

Elevated rights granted on-demand for a specific task and duration, then automatically revoked. Eliminates standing privileges — the root cause of most lateral movement attacks.

🎬

Session Recording & Monitoring

Every privileged session recorded with full keystroke logging, video replay, and searchable transcripts. Complete forensic evidence for compliance and incident investigation.

🤖

Privileged Threat Analytics

AI and machine learning baselines normal privileged behaviour and alerts on anomalies — impossible access times, unusual data transfers, lateral movement patterns.

🔗

Vendor & Third-Party Access Control

Contractors, vendors, and remote support teams access your systems through PAM — with full recording, time-limited sessions, and no direct credential exposure.

How it works

PAM in four steps —
from deployment to protection

Shaarait's PAM implementation follows a proven 4-phase approach that delivers measurable security improvement within weeks, not months — with minimal disruption to your existing operations.

01
🔍
Discover & inventory

Automated discovery of every privileged account across your on-premise systems, cloud platforms, network devices, and applications — including accounts you didn't know existed.

02
🏦
Vault & rotate

All discovered credentials are onboarded into the PAM vault with automatic password rotation policies. Standing privileges are replaced with just-in-time access workflows.

03
👁️
Monitor & record

All privileged sessions are monitored in real time with full recording, keystroke logging, and command filtering. Suspicious activity triggers automatic alerts and session termination.

04
📈
Analyse & report

Continuous threat analytics, automated compliance reports for CBK and ISO 27001, and executive dashboards that show your privileged access risk posture at a glance.

The data is clear

Privileged accounts are
the crown jewels
attackers want most

Every major breach of the last decade — SolarWinds, Colonial Pipeline, the MOD Kuwait data breach — involved compromised privileged accounts. PAM is the single most effective control to prevent catastrophic data loss.

PAM use cases

How Kuwait's top sectors
use PAM to prevent breaches

Every industry has unique privileged access challenges. Shaarait has implemented PAM across Kuwait's most security-sensitive environments — here's what real-world protection looks like in each sector.

🏛️ Government & Ministries
Securing inter-ministry data exchange

Government ministries share sensitive citizen data across platforms. PAM controls which administrators can access shared databases, records every access, and provides compliance evidence aligned with Kuwait e-Government security standards.

Admin access control Cross-ministry audit trail Compliance reporting
🏦 Banking & Finance
SWIFT & core banking system protection

SWIFT interfaces and core banking systems are prime targets. PAM enforces dual-control on critical transactions, records every administrator session in the core banking system, and provides the CBK audit trail required by regulation.

SWIFT access control CBK compliance Dual-control enforcement
🛢️ Oil & Gas
OT / SCADA privileged access control

Operational technology systems control physical infrastructure — pipelines, valves, compressors. PAM controls every privileged account that can access SCADA, enforces JIT access for maintenance windows, and records all OT administrator activity.

OT/SCADA PAM Vendor JIT access Maintenance window control
🏥 Healthcare
EMR system administrator protection

Hospital database administrators have access to every patient record. PAM records and monitors all EMR administrator sessions, enforces minimum necessary access, and provides HIPAA-aligned audit evidence for every privileged access event.

EMR admin monitoring HIPAA alignment Patient data protection
☁️ Cloud & Hybrid
Cloud root account & secrets management

Azure, AWS, and M365 root accounts are among the most dangerous unmanaged credentials. PAM vaults cloud root credentials, manages API keys and service account secrets, and provides a unified view of all privileged cloud access across your multi-cloud environment.

Azure root vaulting API secrets management Multi-cloud PAM
🏗️ Contractors & Vendors
Third-party privileged access control

IT vendors and contractors regularly need administrative access to your systems. PAM gives them just-in-time, time-limited access through a controlled gateway — no VPN, no credential sharing, full session recording, automatic access expiry.

Vendor gateway access Time-limited sessions No credential exposure
