		Related Products Securden Unified PAM Securden Unified PAM is a privileged access security solution that lets you discover, centrally store, organize, share, manage, and keep track of all privileged identities, passwords, keys, documents, and other identities. It helps you establish a centralized password management system, automate management with approval workflows, control ‘who’ can access ‘what’, monitor, and record all access to critical IT assets, and enforce password security best practices. The major modules of Securden Unified PAM are password management, privileged account management, secure remote access, application control, endpoint privilege management, privileged session management, and SSH key management. The platform supports compliance with NIS2, DORA, NIST, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and ISO-IEC 27001. Installation typically takes only a few minutes, and a complete production-ready PAM can be achieved in less than a month with Securden Unified PAM. 16 Ratings Visit Website Admin By Request Endpoint Privilege Management Admin By Request EPM gives organizations control over who and what can elevate on their endpoints, without standing up servers, databases, or a dedicated admin team to run it. The model is least privilege: a user or an application receives the specific access its task requires and nothing more. This closes off a common attack route, since permanent local admin rights are what an attacker inherits when malware executes or a credential is stolen. Removing admin rights does not push users back into support queues. When someone needs a longer stretch of elevated work, they run an Admin Session that expires on its own. When they need only one program elevated, Run As Admin handles that alone and leaves the rest of the system unprivileged. Requests can be approved through the portal, the mobile app, or the API. Files receive an OPSWAT MetaDefender reputation check before elevation, and software that has already been vetted can clear automatically through pre-approval or the AI and Machine Learning approval engine. A single agent supports Windows, macOS, and Linux and behaves the same whether the endpoint is online or offline. Auditing and inventory are included as standard. 105 Ratings Visit Website Securden Endpoint Privilege Manager Securden Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM) helps enterprises remove admin rights without impacting productivity on Windows, Mac, and Linux endpoints.

About Knox is a secret management service. Knox is a service for storing and rotation of secrets, keys, and passwords used by other services. Pinterest has a plethora of keys or secrets doing things like signing cookies, encrypting data, protecting our network via TLS, accessing our AWS machines, communicating with our third parties, and many more. If these keys become compromised, rotating (or changing our keys) used to be a difficult process generally involving a deploy and likely a code change. Keys/secrets within Pinterest were stored in git repositories. This means they were copied all over our company's infrastructure and present on many of our employees laptops. There was no way to audit who accessed or who has access to the keys. Knox was built to solve these problems. Ease of use for developers to access/use confidential secrets, keys, and credentials. Confidentiality for secrets, keys, and credentials. Provide mechanisms for key rotation in case of compromise.
