Why FortiPAM with Switchshop?

In today’s threat-heavy landscape, compromised privileged accounts remain one of the most common, and costly causes of cyber breaches. Switchshop, as a Fortinet Expert Engage Partner and Fortinet Fabric Partner of the Year 2024, delivers FortiPAM to help organisations safeguard critical systems, meet compliance mandates, and simplify privileged access management.

 

What is FortiPAM?

FortiPAM is Fortinet’s enterprise-grade solution for Privileged Access Management (PAM) that helps organisations reduce risk, enforce Zero Trust, and protect critical infrastructure from insider threats, misuse, and credential compromise. Delivered in partnership with Switchshop, FortiPAM gives your security team complete visibility and control over privileged credentials and sessions, all while supporting compliance with standards like NHS DSPT, ISO 27001, and Cyber Essentials Plus. From password vaulting and session monitoring to secure third-party access and Zero Trust enforcement, FortiPAM brings peace of mind, especially in environments with complex access needs, like NHS Trusts.

 

 

What Is Privileged Access?

Privileged access refers to user accounts that hold elevated permissions beyond standard users. These include:

  • IT Managers and System Administrators
  • Firewall and Network Admins
  • Windows Domain and Enterprise Admins

Because these accounts hold the “keys to the kingdom”, they are among the most common targets in cyberattacks, yet many breaches go undetected for months, with long recovery times.

Why Choose FortiPAM?

In a world of increasing cyber risk, protecting high-privilege accounts is critical. FortiPAM helps organisations secure administrative access, enforce Zero Trust, and meet compliance requirements by delivering a unified platform for credential management, session control, and third-party access. Whether you’re an NHS Trust, public sector organisation, or enterprise, FortiPAM helps reduce the risk of data breaches while simplifying PAM operations.

 

FortiPAM also provides complete oversight of privileged account activity, enabling organisations to enforce least-privilege policies and monitor sessions in real time. Its session recording and auditing capabilities support compliance reporting and help maintain secure administrative access, while seamless integration with existing IT infrastructure ensures scalability and reduced operational complexity.
