Privileged Account Discovery is a process that enables the automatic and systematic detection of critical privileged accounts (such as administrator accounts, superuser accounts, etc.) within organizations. This feature allows system administrators to create a comprehensive inventory of all privileged accounts in the organization’s network, thereby making account management more effective.

Privileged accounts typically have access to and management rights over sensitive data, making the monitoring and management of these accounts critically important. In addition to identifying all privileged accounts in the system, it provides detailed information about the resources these accounts are associated with and the permissions they hold. This comprehensive visibility helps administrators better understand potential risks and take necessary precautions.

It plays a vital role in security analysis and risk management processes. System administrators can identify potential security vulnerabilities, optimize account management processes by removing unnecessary privileges, and ensure that user access policies are effectively enforced, thereby enhancing the organization's overall security level.

It is also crucial for meeting organizational compliance requirements. By keeping record of privileged accounts, it creates transparency in audit processes and contributes to the prevention of potential security breaches. Especially in large and complex organizations, effective management of privileged accounts significantly strengthens the overall security posture.
