Osirium vs. Admin By Request Endpoint Privilege Management

Navigating the current outsourcing environment poses challenges in determining who possesses privileged access to your systems. Surprisingly, individuals who are among the lowest earners in a company often receive the highest privileges, and there are instances where these individuals aren't even part of the organization. Osirium addresses this imbalance by empowering Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) to securely oversee a multitude of account credentials, facilitating safe outsourcing while meeting compliance requirements for their clientele. The authority wielded by these "admin" accounts is substantial since they can implement crucial modifications to systems, access essential corporate intellectual property, compromise personally identifiable information (PII), and shape the operational processes of customers, employees, and partners alike. Moreover, it is critical to protect other accounts, particularly those associated with corporate social media venues such as Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, as any improper use could result in significant reputational damage. Given their prominence and influence, it is no surprise that these accounts attract the attention of cybercriminals eager to exploit weaknesses. Therefore, ensuring robust oversight and protection of these accounts is not merely advisable; it is vital for safeguarding both the integrity and reputation of the organization, ultimately contributing to its long-term success and stability.

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.
