What is a key feature of Defender PAM?

Session Recording is a key feature of Defender PAM because it allows organizations to capture and monitor privileged user sessions in real time. This capability is crucial for audit trails and compliance as it enables the review of user activities during their sessions. By recording these sessions, organizations can ensure accountability, investigate suspicious actions, and verify proper usage of privileged accounts.

This feature also enhances security by deterring malicious behavior, knowing that all actions are being recorded, which can prevent unauthorized access or misuse of sensitive data. In addition, the recordings can serve as valuable training material for incident response teams and for improving internal security policies.

In contrast, while Data Loss Prevention focuses on preventing sensitive information from being exfiltrated, Malware Detection identifies and mitigates threats from harmful software, and SAML Integration enables single sign-on capabilities, they do not provide the same level of monitoring and accountability for privileged access as session recording does.
