		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. Securden EPM helps elevate applications for standard users and grant admin rights on a Just-in-Time basis, eliminating standing privileges while maintaining seamless operations. Enforce application control using allowlisting and blocklisting, enable on-demand and policy-based granular application elevation, and manage privileges even on offline endpoints. Capabilities include JIT local admin rights, application usage tracking, and local administrator group monitoring. Secure remote access supports IT helpdesk operations, while built-in controls help meet compliance requirements such as HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GDPR, and NERC-CIP. A highly scalable architecture and wide array of integrations make Securden EPM ideal for securing enterprise endpoints at scale. 7 Ratings Visit Website ThreatLocker ThreatLocker is a Zero Trust Platform that prevents cyber threats by blocking unknown applications, enforcing least privilege, and controlling what can run across your environment.

About BeyondTrust Pathfinder offers a comprehensive identity-centric security platform designed to protect enterprises from privilege-based attacks by delivering visibility, control, and governance across human and non-human identities, credentials, and access paths. At the core is the Pathfinder Platform, which dynamically maps paths to privilege across endpoints, servers, clouds, IdPs, SaaS, and databases, exposing hidden over-privileged accounts, orphaned identities, and attack vectors. Other key components include Identity Security Insights for unified detection and risk-based prioritization of identity threats, Password Safe to discover, vault, manage and audit privileged credentials and session activity, Privileged Remote Access for secure, rule-based access with full session monitoring, Entitle for automating cloud permissions and just-in-time access, Endpoint Privilege Management for enforcing least-privilege on endpoints with application control and file-integrity monitoring.	About Opal Security is an identity governance platform designed to control access across human users, AI agents, applications, service accounts, and infrastructure. The platform provides a centralized governance layer for evaluating access requests, enforcing policy, reviewing entitlements, and managing privileged access. Its Paladin AI can assess requests, evaluate risk, recommend or make decisions, and escalate cases to human reviewers while showing the reasoning behind each action. Opal supports just-in-time access that can be granted only when needed and automatically revoked when the work is complete. AI-assisted access reviews analyze entitlements and supporting evidence to recommend approval or removal decisions with an auditable record. The platform can be deployed in Opal’s cloud, a customer-managed environment, virtual machines, or Kubernetes, with searchable logs for access changes and administrative activity.
