Description
Fortinet FortiPAM is a privileged access management solution designed to secure, monitor and control access to sensitive systems, accounts and resources. Built on FortiOS, it helps organisations manage privileged credentials used by IT administrators, network administrators and other users with elevated permissions.
FortiPAM provides centralised control over privileged access through:
-
Privileged account discovery and management
-
Secure storage for passwords and certificates
-
Automated password rotation
-
Identity authentication and role-based access controls
-
Privileged session monitoring and recording
-
Activity visibility and reporting
-
Secure remote access, including ZTNA and agentless access
-
Support for operational technology (OT) environments
These capabilities help organisations apply consistent controls to privileged accounts while improving visibility into access to critical systems and resources.
Secure Remote Access
FortiPAM's Secure Remote Access (SRA) capabilities provide controlled access to protected systems for authorised users, administrators and third parties. Users can connect to critical resources without directly exposing privileged credentials, while organisations can apply access policies and maintain visibility over remote sessions.
SRA can support remote IT teams, contractors, vendors and other users who require controlled access to sensitive infrastructure.
Fortinet Security Integration
FortiPAM integrates with the broader Fortinet Security Fabric to extend privileged access controls across the security environment. Integration with solutions such as FortiToken Cloud, FortiClient and FortiSandbox can support stronger authentication, endpoint protection and security analysis as part of privileged access workflows.
This integration can help organisations bring privileged access management into their existing Fortinet security architecture.

Use Cases
Protect Privileged Credentials
Automatically discover and manage privileged accounts according to defined policies. FortiPAM helps reduce unauthorised access risks by controlling how privileged credentials are stored, accessed and managed.
Manage Service Accounts
Streamline the identification, onboarding and ongoing management of service accounts and their associated credentials, helping organisations maintain better control over non-human accounts.
Secure Third-Party Access
Provide controlled access for contractors, vendors and other external users who need to connect to sensitive systems. FortiPAM can work with FortiToken Cloud to support passwordless authentication and adaptive multi-factor authentication (MFA).
Help Protect Against Malware and Data Loss
Built-in Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Antivirus capabilities powered by FortiGuard Labs can inspect session traffic and help identify potential data misuse, leakage and unauthorised file transfers. FortiPAM can also integrate with FortiSandbox to analyse suspicious files and traffic.
Simplify Privileged Account Operations
Automate key stages of the privileged-account lifecycle, including account onboarding, credential management, secret rotation, auditing and reporting. This can reduce manual administration and support more consistent access management.
Support Compliance and Auditing
Apply policy-based controls to privileged access while recording sessions and maintaining detailed audit trails. These records provide visibility into access activity for security reviews, investigations and compliance requirements.
