M4PAM vs. Admin By Request Endpoint Privilege Management

M4PAM sets itself apart from traditional PAM solutions by embedding privileged access management directly within the database framework. It provides an all-encompassing toolkit that features server-level access control, secure SSH and RDP connections, identity-based session oversight, credential management, and thorough session recording, complemented by a Database Privileged Access Management (DBPAM) module that precisely controls user access to specific tables, columns, and rows. Unlike standard PAM systems that might disable an Active Directory account while overlooking the security of local database credentials, M4PAM effectively remedies this gap. Users enjoy the convenience of authenticating through single sign-on and two-factor authentication rather than relying on shared passwords, and they can request access that is automatically revoked upon expiration. The addition of an SQL Firewall and dynamic data masking further strengthens the management of database activities. M4PAM is flexible enough to operate as a standalone PAM solution or to be layered over an existing third-party PAM system, successfully addressing the database security void without requiring a total system replacement. It smoothly connects with native database clients and business intelligence applications, allowing for deployment without the necessity of agents, which streamlines the implementation process. This cutting-edge approach guarantees that database security remains both strong and accessible for all users, fostering an environment where security measures enhance, rather than hinder, operational efficiency.

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.
