ConsoleWorks vs. Admin By Request Endpoint Privilege Management

ConsoleWorks is an all-encompassing solution designed for cybersecurity and operational management across IT and OT settings, particularly for users holding privileged access. It facilitates secure and ongoing remote access while providing extensive management of user permissions, enabling organizations to control access across various platforms such as operating systems, network devices, configuration ports, servers, storage systems, and applications, all under a centralized, role-based access control system. A standout feature of ConsoleWorks is its ability to operate without requiring agent installation on each device; it establishes a persistent, secure connection that functions effectively whether assets are powered on or off and regardless of the operating system's status, thus offering out-of-band control and visibility. Additionally, the platform diligently monitors and logs every privileged action, tracking even the smallest details such as keystrokes, which supports continuous auditing, session recording, configuration monitoring, patch tracking, asset management, and automatic detection of configuration changes. This meticulous level of tracking not only fortifies security measures but also plays a crucial role in fostering accountability and ensuring compliance throughout the organization, thereby enhancing overall operational integrity. Ultimately, ConsoleWorks provides a robust framework that empowers businesses to manage their cybersecurity needs effectively.

Admin By Request EPM lets users elevate only what a task needs, without keeping local admin rights switched on permanently. For longer work there's a time-limited Admin Session, and for a one-off there's Run As Admin, which elevates a single application and nothing else. Approvals go through the portal, mobile app, or API, and software you already trust can be waved through automatically with pre-approval and AI and Machine Learning auto-approval. Because privileges are set per user or group, a developer, an office worker, and an outside contractor each get an approach that suits them. It covers Windows, macOS, and Linux, comes with auditing and inventory as standard, and needs no extra infrastructure to run.
