Delinea’s Secret Server is a powerful Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution designed to protect sensitive information by managing privileged accounts securely. One
of its key functionalities is its advanced reporting capabilities, which provide critical insights into the management and use of secrets, privileged accounts, and privileged sessions. Reporting in Secret Server is essential for monitoring compliance, detecting anomalies, and ensuring that security protocols are followed across an organization’s privileged accounts. This article will explore the features, benefits, and application of Delinea's Secret Server reporting.

Effective Privileged Access Management (PAM) involves more than just managing who has access to sensitive systems; it also requires continuous monitoring and auditing of privileged account activity. This is where the reporting capabilities of Delinea’s Secret Server shine.
Reports offer visibility into how privileged credentials are accessed, used, and managed. They also ensure that organizations comply with regulatory requirements, such as
GDPR, HIPAA, and SOX, which mandate that businesses monitor and report on access to sensitive data.

Delinea’s Secret Server offers a range of reporting tools designed to provide comprehensive insight into privileged access. Some of the most critical features include:

Audit Logs
Audit logs are the cornerstone of any reporting system within a PAM solution. Secret Server automatically logs all activities related to privileged accounts, including login attempts, password changes, vault access, and session recordings. These logs can be filtered and exported to meet audit or compliance requirements.

The reporting tools provided by Delinea’s Secret Server bring several key benefits to organizations:

Improved Compliance
With regulatory frameworks becoming more stringent, Secret Server’s detailed reporting capabilities help businesses demonstrate compliance. Whether it’s maintaining audit logs or generating evidence for an external auditor, Secret Server simplifies the reporting process, ensuring that critical access events are documented.

While Secret Server provides many pre-built reports, every organization has unique needs when it comes to monitoring and compliance. The ability to customize reports in Secret Server allows businesses to focus on the metrics and
events that matter most to them.

Creating Custom Reports

Admins can use the custom reporting engine to create reports that pull from any activity or event logged within Secret Server. This includes data related to:

• Secret creation and modification
• User permissions and role changes
• System configuration adjustments

These reports can be configured with specific filters, timeframes, and formats to fit the organization’s specific reporting needs.

As the threat landscape evolves, so too must the tools used to secure privileged access. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning are beginning to play a role in automating the detection of suspicious activity in privileged accounts.
Delinea is continuously working to enhance Secret Server’s capabilities, including introducing more intelligent reporting that can flag anomalies in real-time, providing even greater protection for sensitive systems.

Delinea’s Secret Server is a robust solution for managing privileged access, and its reporting capabilities are a critical component in ensuring compliance, visibility, and security. With features like audit logs, custom reports, and session recording, Secret Server equips organizations with the tools they need to monitor privileged accounts effectively. By leveraging these reporting tools, businesses can not only strengthen their security posture but also simplify the process of meeting regulatory requirements.
