🛡️ Privileged Access Management (PAM360) & Admin Bastion – Documentation Wiki

Welcome to the official documentation for our Privileged Access Management (PAM) project using ManageEngine PAM360. This wiki captures the architecture, setup, use cases, and comparisons explored during our Proof of Concept (PoC) implementation in a cloud-based environment (Azure).

🎯 Project Goals

• Secure and monitor privileged access to critical infrastructure
• Demonstrate the use of PAM360 features like credential vaulting, session recording, JIT access, and MFA
• Deploy a logical bastion via PAM360 to centralize and proxy all sensitive access
• Showcase real-world use cases from agent deployment to GitHub SSH and RemoteApp control
