Oracle Privileged Account Manager is a secure password management solution designed to generate, provision, and manage access to passwords for privileged accounts like Linux/Unix ‘root’ or Oracle database ‘sys’. It enables auditing and establishes accountability for users who normally share privileged account credentials. OPAM, together with Oracle Identity Manager (OIM) and Oracle Identity Analytics (OIA), forms the complete Oracle Identity Governance platform that provides central governance for both regular users and privileged users, complete auditing, reporting and certification of user’s regular accounts and shared accounts, and lifecycle management from request, approval, to certification and usage tracking. OPAM greatly enhances security and significantly improves compliance.
