Real-Time Session Intelligence for Privileged Access Management
Stop threats as they happen — not after.
12Port’s Session Intelligence feature uses advanced AI to provide real-time visibility, risk analysis, and enforcement during active remote access sessions. This helps organizations transform remote access into a continuously verified and adaptively secured interaction.
Session Intelligence operates as an integral layer of the 12Port agentless remote access architecture, continuously analyzing user behavior, keyboard activity, and environmental context during live remote sessions. Suspicious activity can be flagged, contained, or terminated instantly, helping organizations stay ahead of insider threats and compromised accounts without slowing down business.
Live Session Control
Pause or terminate a user’s session (manually or automatically) to contain threats and enforce security policies in real time.
Command Filter
Analyzes each command in real time. Decides if command should be executed or denied. Path specific.
In-Session Threat Analytics
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) driven analysis detects risky behaviors during active sessions and triggers immediate containment actions.
Intelligent, Risk-Based Alerting
Dynamic risk scoring engine prioritizes alerts by severity, reducing noise and improving SOC efficiency.
User and Entity Behavioral Analytics (UEBA)
UEBA establishes normal activity patterns and flags deviations such as unusual commands or access attempts.
Anomaly Detection
Identify compromised credentials, insider threats or account misuse in real-time and trigger automated responses like MFA re-challenges or session termination.
Dynamic Access Control
Continuously adjust access based on session behavior, context, and threat level for layered defense.
Use Cases
Session Intelligence within privileged access management is built for real-world challenges. From insider threats to compliance requirements, it helps organizations gain visibility and control over privileged sessions while reducing risk in real time.
Insider Threat Mitigation
Employees and contractors often have legitimate access that can be misused, intentionally or accidentally. Session Intelligence detects when a legitimate user begins accessing unauthorized resources or exfiltrating sensitive data mid-session. IT administrators can manually or automatically pause or terminate the session instantly. This ensures risks are contained before they cause damage.
Third-Party Access Control
Vendors and partners are essential but also introduce risk. With full transparency into their actions, Session Intelligence monitors external vendor sessions in real-time, flagging or halting activities based on precise security policies. This reduces exposure while still enabling collaboration.
Compliance & Audit Readiness
Regulations require detailed evidence of how privileged accounts are used. Session Intelligence generates comprehensive, real-time records of every session to ensure compliance with mandates like HIPAA, GDPR, PCI-DSS, NIST, ISO 27001. It simplifies audits while strengthening accountability.
Credential Compromise Response
When accounts are hijacked, attackers often attempt high-speed lateral movement or execute unauthorized scripts to expand their access. Session Intelligence detects these abnormal behaviors in real time and automatically terminates the session to prevent escalation. By cutting off compromised credentials instantly, it limits damage and protects critical systems from breach.
Command Filter
Command filter analyzes each command passed through the access broker during remote endpoint session and decides whether this command should be executed on the remote endpoint or denied. In addition to this, command filter rewrites commands typed by the operator according with the path specification list to enforce commands to run from the safe expected locations.
AI-Powered Session Protection
Privileged accounts are powerful, but they are also the most targeted. One compromised session can disrupt operations and expose sensitive data. AI-powered Session Intelligence for PAM delivers:
- Stronger threat protection without increasing endpoint complexity.
- Immediate response capabilities, minimizing the time to detect and respond to threats.
- Lower operational overhead through automation, intelligent alerting, and local processing.
- Enhanced privacy and compliance, with zero reliance on external cloud services.
