Privileged Access Management Configuration Guide | PAM Solution Installation
The miniOrange privilege access management (PAM) is a service that allows administrators to manage the privilege accounts and the management of the resources they have access of. In today's digital landscape, ensuring the security of privileged accounts is crucial for organizations of all sizes. Privileged accounts, such as administrator or root accounts, hold extensive access rights and control over critical systems and sensitive data. Therefore, it becomes imperative to implement a robust Privileged Access Management solution that helps mitigate the risks associated with unauthorized access and potential security breaches.

By centralizing authentication and access control, miniOrange PAM enables organizations to enforce strict security policies, reduce the attack surface, and monitor privileged activities, ensuring compliance with industry regulations.
In this guide, we will take you through the step-by-step process of setting up miniOrange PAM, including the installation and configuration of its core components, integration with existing systems, and best practices for optimizing the solution's performance and security.
