12Port Privileged Access Management
What is 12Port Privileged Access Management?
12Port is an agentless Privileged Access Management and Secrets Management platform engineered to secure, control, and audit administrative access across on-premises, cloud, hybrid, and operational technology (OT) environments. The system brokers privileged user connections, vaults and rotates credentials, executes just-in-time (JIT) access workflows, and records administrative sessions without requiring software agents installed on protected endpoints.
Key Capabilities
- Agentless Privileged Access Brokering: Mediates administrative sessions using standard protocols—such as Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) and Secure Shell (SSH)—via web browsers or native client tools while injecting vaulted credentials directly into active sessions.
- Credential Vaulting & Lifecycle Management: Serves as a centralized vault for storing, rotating, revoking, and auditing administrative passwords, SSH keys, API keys, cryptographic tokens, and digital certificates.
- Just-In-Time (JIT) & Third-Party Access Control: Applies role-based access control (RBAC), multi-factor authentication (MFA), separation of duties, and time-bound approval workflows for employees, contractors, and external vendors.
- Session Recording & Real-Time Intervention: Captures video and text logs of privileged sessions, allowing security teams to enforce command restrictions, terminate active sessions, or revoke temporary privileges in real time.
- Session Intelligence Analytics: Analyzes session activity baselines using automated pattern recognition to flag anomalous administrative actions without requiring manual video log reviews.
Audience & Use Cases
- Audience: Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), IT security administrators, infrastructure engineers, and compliance auditors across enterprise and OT environments.
- Use Case: Securing administrative infrastructure credentials, enforcing zero-standing-privilege policies, monitoring third-party vendor access, and generating audit trails for regulatory compliance frameworks.
