Implementing PAM for Database Access

Overview

Deploy privileged access management for database systems including Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and MySQL. Covers session proxy configuration, credential vaulting, query auditing, dynamic credential generation, and least-privilege database roles.

Objectives

• Implement comprehensive implementing pam for database access capability
• Establish automated discovery and monitoring processes
• Integrate with enterprise IAM and security tools
• Generate compliance-ready documentation and reports
• Align with NIST 800-53 access control requirements

Security Controls

Control	NIST 800-53	Description
Account Management	AC-2	Lifecycle management
Access Enforcement	AC-3	Policy-based access control
Least Privilege	AC-6	Minimum necessary permissions
Audit Logging	AU-3	Authentication and access events
Identification	IA-2	User and service identification

Verification

• Implementation tested in non-production environment
• Security policies configured and enforced
• Audit logging enabled and forwarding to SIEM
• Documentation and runbooks complete
• Compliance evidence generated
