IBM Verify Privilege vs. ARCON | Endpoint Privilege Management

Granting privileged users access to critical systems, data, and functionalities is crucial; however, it is equally vital to meticulously assess, oversee, and review their elevated permissions to protect resources against possible cybersecurity risks and credential exploitation. Research shows that around 40% of insider cyber incidents are linked to these privileged users, highlighting the importance of maintaining vigilance. The IBM Verify Privilege solutions, in partnership with Delinea, support zero trust frameworks designed to mitigate organizational risks. These solutions aid in the discovery, control, management, and security of privileged accounts across diverse endpoints and hybrid multi-cloud settings. Furthermore, they have the capability to locate previously unrecognized accounts, automatically reset passwords, and detect irregular activities. By overseeing, securing, and auditing privileged accounts throughout their entire lifespan, organizations can effectively identify devices, servers, and other endpoints with administrative privileges, thereby enforcing least-privilege security, regulating application permissions, and alleviating the workload on support teams, which ultimately contributes to a robust security posture. This holistic strategy not only protects sensitive data but also strengthens the overall integrity of the system, creating a safer environment for all users involved. Additionally, the implementation of such measures fosters a proactive cybersecurity culture within the organization, ensuring that all personnel remain aware of the risks associated with privileged account management.

The ARCON | Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM) solution offers a dynamic approach to endpoint privileges, delivering access in a 'just-in-time' or 'on-demand' fashion while keeping a vigilant eye on all users. This powerful tool excels at detecting insider threats, compromised accounts, and various malicious efforts aimed at breaching endpoints. With its sophisticated User Behavior Analytics feature, the solution tracks regular user activities to identify any atypical behavioral patterns and other potential threats within the network. Its comprehensive governance framework enables you to swiftly blacklist harmful applications, limit data transfers from devices to external storage, and enforce precise access controls, allowing for the elevation or demotion of privileges as required. Regardless of the increasing number of endpoints resulting from remote work and flexible access policies, this single management tool ensures their security effectively. This flexibility empowers you to modify privileges according to your discretion and preferred timing, thereby maintaining both security and operational efficiency seamlessly. Ultimately, the solution not only safeguards sensitive information but also enhances overall productivity across the organization.
