IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager V1.0 delivers a single solution to help secure, automate, and track the use of privileged identities. Based on underlying IBM Security Identity Manager and IBM Security Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On capabilities for licensed privileged users, the solution delivers privileged user entitlement provisioning, strong password management policies, and support for all IBM Security Identity Manager adapter endpoints.

IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager helps thwart insider threat by tracking the use of user credentials with elevated access privileges. It also provides:

• An encrypted credential vault with controlled check out and check in of shared IDs for entitled users.
• Automated login with available strong authentication that delivers an additional level of assurance while hiding the current      password from the end user.
• User activity logging that contains an audit trail on use of privileged credentials.
• Password update capability, after use and upon check in, to help ensure passwords are not reused outside the governance      structure.

What Is New

IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager V1.0 introduces the new Privileged Session Recorder option for IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager V1.0. This new session recording option, available for an additional charge, can be added to IBM Security Privileged Identity Manager V1.0 implementations.

With the Privileged Session Recorder option installed, licensed users can record privileged user endpoint activity in detail. Each user's session activity, including typed characters and mouse clicks, is recorded by Privileged Session Recorder and made available for forensics and compliance review. Auditors and managers can then subsequently search and replay these recordings for governance or troubleshooting purposes.
