Abstract
Today there are more privileged users than ever before. Providing access is not optional
it is a business necessity. But how do you avoid excessive access? Providing the right
access at the right time with CA Privileged Access Manager is the formula for reducing
your risk and securing a world of data. At FedEx empowering the right people at the
right time is not only good business it's also good security.

To Privileged Data
USE CASESTO CONTROL PRIVILEGED ACCESS

12. Use Case: Active Directory Domain Admin
Domain Admin launches an RDP session from their own
PC/Laptop or from other Windows server in the domain
using a personal admin account.
This practice is subject to the “Pass the Hash”
vulnerability whereby the domain administrator’s
credentials can be harvested by an attacker and used to
gain privileged access to the domain.
Before PAM Integration

13. Use Case: Active Directory Domain Admin
Domain Admin logs into CA PAM client w/2FA and
checks out a Domain Admin credential.
RDP session to a Domain Controller is launched using
CA PAM transparent login with PAM managed
credentials.
The Domain Admin credentials are never exposed to the
administrator endpoint which eliminates the "Pass the
Hash" vulnerability.
Session is optionally recorded for audit purposes.
After PAM Integration

14. Use Case: Unix Root
No consistent method for managing Unix root passwords
by the SysAdmin teams.
The Unix root passwords had to be rotated manually on
a regularly scheduled interval.
No attribution for Unix root account usage
Before PAM Integration

15. Use Case: Unix Root
Unix SysAdmin logs into CA PAM client w/2FA to check
out the root password for a server when required.
SSH session to Unix server is launched using CA PAM
transparent login with PAM managed credentials.
The root password is never displayed to the SysAdmin.
Command filtering prevents accidents (rm –rf *.*)
Session is optionally recorded for audit purposes.
After PAM Integration

16. Use Case: Developer DB Break-Fix
Developer escalates his database privileges temporarily
(24 hours) using an IDM pre-approved break/fix
workflow.
Since the developer uses his own personal user account
for the escalated database access, the window of
opportunity for an attacker to gain access using
compromised credentials is lengthy.
Before PAM Integration

17. Use Case: Developer DB Break-Fix
Developer logs into CA PAM client w/2FA and checks
out a privileged database account.
Secure SQL session to database is launched using CA
PAM transparent login with PAM managed credentials.
The database password is never displayed to the
developer.
Session is optionally recorded for audit purposes.
After PAM Integration

18. Use Case: Microsoft LAPS Console
Administrator launches the LAPS console from their local
machine.
LAPS privileges are granted directly to the human
admins via an AD group.
An adversary utilizing a compromised human admin
account would be able to view local Windows admin
credentials for many devices in LAPS.
Before PAM Integration

19. Use Case: Microsoft LAPS Console
Administrator logs into CA PAM client w/2FA and checks
out a LAPS enabled credential.
CA PAM launches the LAPS console via RDP published
application.
The LAPS enabled credential is rotated at the end of the
session and once a day.
LAPS session is optionally recorded for audit purposes.
After PAM Integration
