		Related Products 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. 4.8 out of 5 stars 109 Ratings Visit Website for Admin By Request Endpoint Privilege Management 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. 4.8 out of 5 stars 122 Ratings Visit Website for Securden Unified PAM Cloudbrink If you’ve ever dealt with slow VPNs, or clunky ZTNA agents that degrade app performance, you’re not alone. Many IT teams are stuck balancing security with usability—and often end up sacrificing both. Here is a different approach. The high-performance ZTNA service that is part of a personal SASE solution from Cloudbrink can upgrade or replace traditional VPNs while fixing the performance and complexity that come from other vendors in the ZTNA and SASE space. Built as a software-only service, Cloudbrink delivers sub-20ms latency and 1Gbps+ speeds per user using dynamically deployed FAST edges and a proprietary protocol that recovers packet loss before it impacts the app. Security isn’t bolted on—it’s built in. With mutual TLS 1.3, short-lived certs, and no exposed IPs, Cloudbrink provides real zero trust without making users suffer through poor connections or overloaded POPs. If you’ve been burned by “next-gen” solutions that still feel like 2008, it might be time for something new. 4.9 out of 5 stars 28 Ratings Visit Website for Cloudbrink NinjaOne NinjaOne unifies IT to simplify work for 35,000+ customers in 140+ countries.

It replaces the typical four-to-six-tool IT operations stack - PSA, RMM, helpdesk, MDM, asset tracking, network monitoring, patch management and IT documentation - with a single, built-as-one platform on a shared data layer. That architectural choice is what makes the rest of the platform work, particularly its agentic AI. Monica AI, SuperOps' intelligence layer, was designed alongside the platform from day one. It triages tickets, surfaces patch and CVE risks, drafts worklogs, suggests knowledge base articles, and increasingly handles fully autonomous workflows for routine work. SuperOps supports Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, iPadOS and Android, integrates with the IT and MSP ecosystem (Slack, Teams, Azure AD, Okta, QuickBooks, Xero, Bitdefender, SentinelOne and more), and bundles Splashtop and ISL Online remote access free.

ConsoleWorks: About ConsoleWorks is a unified IT/OT cybersecurity and operations platform designed for privileged-access users. ConsoleWorks delivers secure, persistent remote access and full management of permissions, enabling organizations to control access to operating systems, network devices, configuration ports, servers, storage, applications, and more under a centralized, role-based access control model. It operates agent-lessly: instead of installing software agents on each asset, ConsoleWorks maintains a constant, secure connection that works regardless of an asset’s state (powered on/off, OS up/down), giving “out-of-band” control and visibility. It monitors and logs every privileged action, down to the keystroke, offering continuous auditing, session recording, configuration monitoring, patch and asset-inventory tracking, and automatic detection of configuration changes.	OpenVPN Access Server: About OpenVPN Access Server is a self-hosted Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and business VPN solution that gives organizations full control over their own secure network. It's software organizations deploy directly into their own environment — on-premises hardware or their own cloud account on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or others — with tunnel traffic flowing directly between users and the server. With Access Server Link, teams can go from zero to a fully configured deployment in minutes: point-and-click setup across AWS, Azure, and GCP, automatic SSL certificate provisioning and renewal, and a web-based admin portal for managing users, certificates, and access — no SSH or manual DNS work required. Access is granted per application and per identity using domain names rather than broad network-level access, so users only reach what they're explicitly permitted to, and lateral movement is structurally blocked.

	OpenVPN Access Server: Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Open Source. lots of customization options. Create your own VPN profile using free networks available on sites such as vpnbook. Also available as a service - pay as you go model. Cross Platform. The software made the process of setting up a Virtual Private Network so much easier. It has a lot of configuration options available including the use of DNS servers, user permissions and more. OpenVPN has support that will help with any issues needed. Cons Initial setup is difficult - creating profiles, installing certificate (at least on windows). It still requires a fair bit of work to actually set up the Virtual Private Network.
