As we say goodbye to 2020, some ARCON high-points

We-are-growing-we-are-shining

The ‘villainous’ Covid19 turned to be a great ‘teacher’ for global organizations.

The pandemic, besides badly impacting the global health and disrupting normal business processes, resulted in a wave of cyber-attacks as businesses found themselves in a challenging situation. Remote access, authentication, access management (AM) were some of the issues that kept security and risk professionals on toes as they tried to tread a balance between business continuity and IT security.

 

In this time of adversity, ARCON continued in its mission to propagate the message – how to ensure cyber resilience and cyber security. We continued to work hard to make our stack of products more robust in terms of security and functionality. In addition, ARCON, being the torchbearer of the intense mission of cyber hygiene, has surpassed several milestones to stand tall among global IT risk-predictive solution providers.

In the last few months, ARCON has added a good number of feathers in its cap to reemphasize its growing traction globally especially among the analysts’ community.


ARCON recognized as a Challenger in 2020 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Privileged Access Management and placed third in the Gartner Critical Capabilities report


After a huge shift of demand from risk-preventive technologies to risk-predictive technologies, Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution has acquired a pivotal role in most of the industries to ensure a robust security of the IT ecosystem.

As mentioned by Gartner, “By 2024, 50% of organizations will have implemented a just in time (JIT) privileged access model, which eliminates standing privileges, experiencing 80% fewer privileged breaches than those that don’t.

 By 2024, 65% of organizations that use privileged task automation features will save 40% on staff costs for IT operations for IaaS and PaaS, and will experience 70% fewer breaches than those that don’t.

ARCON was placed in the Challengers Quadrant of Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Privileged Access Management (PAM), 2020. We almost knocked the Leaders’ quadrant. We strongly believe that the Privileged Access Management report is a comprehensive guide for global IT security professionals to find out why ARCON | PAM continues to be the best-in-class PAM vendor. The Gartner Magic Quadrant research report evaluates a vendor’s ability to execute and its vision. Likewise, ARCON performed remarkably well in the Gartner Critical Capabilities report for Privileged Access Management, which evaluates a vendor’s ability in terms of key features and capabilities required to meet day-to-day enterprise use cases. We were placed third in the Product and Service Use Cases category for large and mid-size enterprises.
