How does FortiPAM control access to Siemens TIA Portal for contractors and administrators?

FortiPAM stores TIA Portal credentials in a centralized vault and enforces controlled access through privileged workflows. Users must authenticate to FortiPAM first, then access the engineering station via WebRDP or Remote Desktop. All contractors are required to access TIA Portal through FortiPAM when making configuration changes, ensuring centralized credential management and audit logging.

What additional security capabilities does FortiPAM provide beyond basic privileged access management?

FortiPAM integrates with FortiToken Cloud for SAML-based multi-factor authentication, supports passwordless and adaptive authentication, and enables CTA tagging through FortiClient EMS integration. It also includes built-in DLP and antivirus protection powered by FortiGuard Labs to prevent malware spread in OT environments, along with session recording and detailed audit trails for compliance.
