Universal Credential Manager (UCM) is a Next Gen Privileged Account Activity Management (PAAM) solution with agentless connectors, visual recording and SSO integration
AccessMatrix™ Universal Credential Manager (UCM) provides a virtual password safe deposit box with strong encryption using HSM devices to store privileged account IDs and passwords (aka credentials). UCM provides the security features to address the major audit and operational challenges faced by organizations in managing credentials and its session activities. The common challenges are:
Manual Management of IDs and Passwords
Lack of Privileged Session Activities Tracking and Control
Hard-coded Privileged IDs and Passwords in batch jobs and applications
Provide forensic trails and visual recording of privileged access to critical servers and computing resources
What Does UCM Offer?
Privileged User Access (PUA) Module: UCM provides a secure approach with multi-level approval flow and empowers organizations to manage security administrators to retrieve and deposit privileged credentials. This enables authorized users to check in and check out privileged credentials to perform their duties or during emergency situations.
Interactive features include:
Flexible access control for credentials based on reporting hierarchy
Audit trail with command captures and video session recordings
Strong authentication with multi-factor authentication support
Multi-level dual control workflow approval
Manual, single-sign-on or auto login into target resource after check-out
Automatic password management using agent-less technologies
Flexible APIs for integration with external workflow or ticketing software
Privileged Session Manager (PSM) Module: UCM provides add-on Windows RDP Gateway Recorder and set of network protocol Proxy Modules to monitor and record privileged sessions. It supports video and keystroke recording playback for forensic analysis. It also supports command access control for selected protocols.
Application Password Manager (APM) Module: UCM enables organizations to retrieve user IDs and passwords for specific applications during run time so that the user credential information does not need to be hard-coded in applications or command files. UCM provides two integration approaches:
Application APIs – a set of flexible and simple APIs retrieves the current IDs and password from the UCM server
Audit Password Consumers – Enables dynamic and transparent replacement of IDs and Passwords in command protocols such as ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET, Windows and Unix scripts
