The most important PVC in Cyber Hygiene Platform is People. Studies have found that 77% of data leaks are caused by privilege abuse3, which proves the importance of this control. Due to the difficulty of identity management, many different types of threats can arise ranging from espionage to ransomware.

Unlike a traditional PAM product, SecHard offers a PAM solution that integrates with other PVC areas recommended by the Cyber Hygiene Platform. SecHard not only gives privilege access to the right person, but also performs the recommended PVCs that are required for the ZTA on all the network devices used in the connection, and on the computer that makes the connection. In this way, the computers whose hardening or security scores produced by SecHard are below the acceptable security level can be restricted from authorized access or risk warnings can be generated. SecHard can automatically discover and login new assets, perform automatic security hardening scoring, and remediate predefined hardening settings fully automatic.

This does not mean SecHard does not have traditional PAM features. Like all other PAM products, SecHard has a password vault. It can enable the accesses such as RDP, VNC, SSH, and Telnet without knowing the password and can record all the sessions both in video and text format.

Do you already have a PAM product? Don’t worry. SecHard can integrate with third party PAM products and it can score their security hardening, as well.
