\"centrify-pim-header\"Centrify is enhancing its privileged identity management (PIM) solution to minimize the attack surface and controlling privileged access to the hybrid enterprise. According to a\u00a0press release from the company, Centrify\u2019<\/a>s new capabilities enable organizations to move from static, long-lived privilege assignments to a ‘just-in-time’ model, in which advanced monitoring detects and alerts the creation of backdoor accounts in real-time.<\/p>\n

As we all know, \u00a0High-privilege access may be the most sensitive aspect of IT. Administrative accounts have the ability to make sweeping and fundamental changes to IT systems on which the business may depend. If misused, these capabilities can cause massive damage, from security threats and compliance violations\u00a0to incidents that tarnish the reputation of the business itself.<\/p>\n

According to The Forrester Wave\u2122: Privileged Identity Management, Q3 2016, 80 percent of breaches leverage privileged credentials to gain access to the organization. The increasingly hybrid nature of infrastructure, driven by the adoption of cloud-based workloads, is driving the need to secure privileged access across on-premises, private-cloud and public cloud infrastructure and apps with a single solution. And while most PIM solutions have traditionally focused on vaulting the credentials for shared accounts on-premises, password vaults alone do not provide the level of privileged access security required to stop the breach.<\/p>\n

\u201cData breaches are happening at an alarming rate and to stop them Centrify is taking a unique approach to controlling privileged access in the hybrid enterprise that simplifies the implementation of PIM best practices and strengthens an organization\u2019s risk posture,\u201d said Bill Mann, chief product officer at Centrify. \u201cBy contrast, password vaults alone are not enough. Best practices require organizations add and integrate point products to the vault, which leaves gaps in security and increases risk. We\u2019ve closed those gaps with an integrated solution that combines password vaulting with brokering of identities, MFA enforcement, and just-enough privilege, all while securing remote access and monitoring all privileged sessions.\u201d<\/p>\n
