Cerby Privileged Access Management for Disconnected Apps

Bring just-in-time privileged access, credential rotation, and full session accountability to the apps your PAM can't reach.

Disconnected applications leave privileged accounts exposed. Because IT can't apply standard identity controls to apps without native integrations, admin access ends up as shared credentials, standing privileges, and unmonitored sessions, which is a serious security and compliance risk. Cerby closes that gap by bringing disconnected SaaS, cloud, and administrative apps under privileged access management, without custom integrations or workflow workarounds.

Cerby replaces standing privileges with just-in-time access: it grants admin rights only when they are needed and revokes them immediately after, based on identity and policy. Credentials are rotated behind the scenes and checked out without ever being exposed, access permissions update in real time as roles change, and every privileged session is attributed to the specific person who used it, even for shared logins. Cerby enforces these controls with backup to your existing PAM vault, so it completes your privileged access program rather than replacing it.

How Cerby secures privileged access in disconnected apps:

• Replaces standing privileges with just-in-time access, granted and revoked automatically by identity and policy, with no permanently shared credentials or standing admin rights.

• Attributes every privileged session to a specific user, even for shared accounts, for clean audit trails and closed compliance gaps.

• Rotates privileged credentials automatically and allows zero-knowledge checkout, so passwords are never exposed.

• Extends privileged access governance to disconnected SaaS, cloud, and administrative apps, with backup to your PAM vault.

• Routes MFA codes to authorized users through

Cerby-managed channels and logs every privileged access event for compliance.
