SSH_Key_Management

Privileged Access Management (PAM) tools make the promise of managing SSH keys, but in practice, they fail to do so. This leads to a large portion of SSH access remaining unmanaged - up to 80%.

This white paper explores reasons why PAM tools aren't enough to manage your entire SSH key estate.

The 3 problems of PAM tools are:

  • PAM tools cover only 20% of SSH access
  • PAM tools apply traditional passwords management concepts to SSH keys
  • PAM tools lack a future-proof strategy to manage the ever-growing SSH key landscape
