Privileged Access Management (PAM) is a foundational security requirement. The solution is crucial to secure elevated (privileged) access to critical IT resources; and PAM offers adequate safeguards against privileged credentials abuse or misuse, data breaches and ever lurking insider and third-party threats.
The importance of having PAM solution in place has increased significantly amid growing hybrid or remote work cultures. Indeed, in parallel with Covid 19 pandemic, organizations felt more and more need for secure remote access. Nevertheless, traditional tools such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and Virtual Desktop Infrastructures (VDIs) were exposed to security vulnerabilities. Moreover, these tools are resource hungry. An advanced solution such as ARCON PAM helped global organizations to overcome challenges. The solution’s secure web gateways are lighter than traditional tools, enabling secure administrative and third-party access to data, systems, and machines.
Furthermore, the solution’s key features include:
- An integrated ticketing flow for managing access requests
- End-to-end secure privileged sessions
- Comprehensive audits and reporting capabilities
- A dynamic dashboard for real-time visibility
- Seamless integration with Active Directory
Additionally, ARCON PAM for remote access employs role-based access control (RBAC) to ensure that users have appropriate access to only the resources and applications necessary for their roles, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or privilege misuse.
Another driver for increased demand for PAM solutions is cloud computing. Most modern organizations have their workloads and data spread across IaaS, PaaS and SaaS infrastructure. Access to cloud resources- applications, databases, developer tools and administrative consoles- have increased significantly.
These have necessitated the need for Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management capabilities that offer comprehensive visibility over cloud entitlements, access paths, and over privileges and required risk mitigation.
However, the pace at which identities- both human and non-human- are created to manage tasks, controlling them in terms of access with static controls provided by CSPs is very difficult and this is where a modern PAM solution like ARCON accelerates cloud journey. In addition to a gamut of CIEM features, ARCON offers classic PAM capabilities like, Just-in-time Privileges, on cloud to safeguard data and cloud resources.
In addition to secure remote access and PAM on-cloud capabilities, security and technology leaders find merit in PAM for its advanced capabilities. Identity-based attacks are the most dreaded IT incidents. ARCON with its highly advanced Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) capabilities, like detecting anomalous behavior patterns, activities and risky identities on near real-time basis helps organizations to build proactive security posture and ensures business resiliency.
And finally, by implementing ARCON PAM, IAM leaders and IT heads can optimize the strategic value and business outcomes. ARCON has the largest connector stack, which ensures rapid implementation across hybrid IT environment. Besides, on-the-fly connectors ensure out-of-box integration. ARCON PAM’s micro-service-based architecture is another reason why the deployments are rapid and easier, the TCO is low, the ROI is high.
While the product architecture, the broad range of features and functionalities makes ARCON PAM an industry thought leader, a high degree of customer-centricity ensures that it is the most lovable brand in the PAM market. Testimony to this fact is ARCON | Privileged Access Management has been recognized as the Customers’ Choice in the Gartner Peer Insights for PAM for four years in a row- 2021,2022, 2023 and 2024.
