The Privileged Access Management (PAM) project, a key component of NATO's IT Modernisation initiative, seeks to enhance control and auditing of privileged accesses within the IT environment. The project will implement Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and other core services, focusing on managing elevated user permissions across various NATO systems. The scope covers all NATO Communication and Information Systems requiring privileged accounts, necessitating a comprehensive solution from analysis to implementation. Key activities include inventorying privileged accounts, enforcing multi-factor authentication, establishing access controls, and integrating with Security Information and Event Management systems. Geographically, the solution will be deployed in NATO command locations in Brussels and Lago Patria, with potential travel to other sites for integration support. The contract also includes warranty provisions for delivered software and ongoing operational and maintenance support post-implementation. This initiative demonstrates NATO's commitment to enhancing cybersecurity and ensuring secure management of privileged accounts across its infrastructure.

The Privileged Access Management (PAM) project, part of the IT Modernisation Recovery Increment 1 (ITM-RC1), focuses on providing enhanced security and control over privileged user access within NATO's IT environment. The project's scope encompasses all Communication and Information Systems (CIS) to effectively manage privileged access accounts. Key elements include conducting an inventory of privileged accounts, implementing multi-factor authentication using NATO's PKI system, establishing access controls, and integrating with Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools, among other measures. The project will be executed in phases, requiring collaboration with other contractors involved in ITM-RC1. Additionally, a warranty and operations and maintenance (O&M) support option will be included post-deployment, ensuring the longevity and reliability of the delivered software. This initiative reflects a commitment to robust cybersecurity and the efficient management of sensitive access across NATO’s infrastructure, underscoring the importance of safeguarding critical systems against unauthorized access and potential threats.
