Remote privilege access management (RPAM) is a specialized approach within the broader scope of privileged access management. It focuses on providing secure, granular, and time-limited access to internal resources for third-party vendors, contractors, or remote employees—without requiring VPN connectivity or broad network access. This greatly reduces the attack surface and protects sensitive infrastructure.
Unlike traditional PAM, which emphasizes managing internal privileged accounts across all systems, RPAM is optimized for external use cases. It ensures users only access what they need and nothing more, often by brokering connections through hardened gateways and enforcing session recording, credential injection, and just-in-time access.
Devolutions PAM, when used with Devolutions Gateway, supports RPAM scenarios by brokering secure remote connections while hiding internal system credentials. This setup helps organizations centralize control, log all access activity, and enforce policies without exposing the entire network.
