ManageEngine Access Manager Plus vs. Britive

Facilitate secure remote access to privileged sessions by consolidating, protecting, and monitoring remote connections that provide privileged entry to critical business systems. This custom solution for privileged session management is specifically crafted for large organizations. To preserve efficiency, it is essential for companies to enable authorized users to connect to crucial systems from any location at any time. Nevertheless, granting such access to remote privileged users poses considerable security and privacy challenges, and conventional methods, including VPNs, frequently lack the necessary flexibility. Modern enterprises need a comprehensive solution that allows seamless access to all components of their infrastructure, whether hosted on public or private clouds, while enforcing stringent access controls, tracking and recording all actions, and providing real-time supervision of every privileged session. With ManageEngine Access Manager Plus, businesses can effectively oversee and protect their privileged session access via a user-friendly web platform. This not only bolsters security but also optimizes operational processes, enabling organizations to function efficiently while upholding rigorous access regulations. Furthermore, this solution empowers businesses to adapt to evolving security demands and maintain an agile approach to remote access management.

Maintaining consistently elevated privileges can greatly increase the chances of data loss and account damage due to threats from insiders and cybercriminals alike. By adopting Britive's method of providing temporary Just In Time Privileges that automatically expire, organizations can significantly mitigate the risks associated with compromised privileged identities, whether those identities belong to people or machines. This strategy supports the implementation of Zero Standing Privileges (ZSP) in cloud environments, avoiding the complexities of developing a tailored cloud Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution. Moreover, hardcoded API keys and credentials that generally hold elevated privileges are particularly susceptible to exploitation, especially given that machine identities surpass human users by a staggering twenty to one. With Britive's system, the efficient process of assigning and revoking Just-in-Time (JIT) secrets is vital for dramatically reducing exposure to credential-related threats. By removing static secrets and ensuring that machine identities operate under zero standing privileges, organizations can enhance the protection of their sensitive data. Over time, cloud accounts can accumulate excessive privileges, often because contractors and former employees still retain access after their tenure has ended, which can create significant vulnerabilities. Therefore, it becomes increasingly important for organizations to adopt robust privilege management strategies that address these evolving threats and help secure their cloud environments more effectively.
