Security software provider Remediant wants to move beyond basic privileged access management (PAM) to help CSOs secure enterprise networks.
It’s adopting a new approach it calls PAM+, aimed at helping enterprises protecting access to their systems and build on Zero Trust initiatives.
Tim Keeler, CTO and co-founder of Remediant, set out the need for the new strategy: “Organizations’ inability to properly manage identities and privileges across the enterprise has left a large number of attack surfaces unprotected and vulnerable to cyberattacks that result in ransomware. A majority of today’s cybercriminals are able to accomplish their mission by leveraging privilege (or admin) account sprawl — a very large and highly exploited attack surface.”
