As organisations\ncontinue their Digital Transformation journeys, they struggle to manage an\ninfrastructure that is fragmented across hybrid and multi-cloud environments,\nresulting in data breaches, audit findings and unnecessary overhead costs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Underlying the foundation of Digital\nTransformation are privileged access controls, which ensure that only authorised\nindividuals, machines or services are permitted to access the right resources,\nat the right time for the right reasons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Centrify enables Digital Transformation at\nscale, modernising how organisations secure privileged access across hybrid and\nmulti-cloud environments by enforcing Identity-Centric PAM based on Zero Trust\nprinciples. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe\nmarket is experiencing a changing threatscape, where PAM is shifting away from\na vault-centric approach to a more secure and less cumbersome Identity-Centric requirement,\u201d said Tim Steinkopf, CEO of Centrify. \u201cCentrify\u2019s Identity-Centric\nPrivileged Access Management solutions evolve PAM to a seamless experience by\nleveraging individual identities, granting least privilege just-in-time and\nempowering machines to protect themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Identity-Centric PAM is designed to handle\nrequesters that are not only human but also machines, services and APIs. For\nincreased assurance, best practices now recommend strongly authenticated\nindividual identities \u2013 not shared accounts \u2013 where least privilege can be\napplied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All controls must be dynamic and\nrisk-aware, which requires modern Machine Learning and user behaviour\nanalytics. PAM must integrate and interoperate with a much broader ecosystem\nincluding the cloud providers, DevSecOps tools, containers and microservices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Centrify\u2019s approach to Identity-Centric PAM\nis founded on the Zero Trust principles of: \u201cNever trust, always verify,\nenforce least privilege.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Centrify helps customers minimise\nthe attack surface, improve audit and compliance visibility, and reduce risk,\ncomplexity and costs through pillars of Identity-Centric PAM:<\/li><li>Establish trust: To enforce an\nauthoritative security policy, securely establishing unique identities for\nevery system with the authoritative security management platform.<\/li><li>Verify who: Leverage enterprise\ndirectory identities to authenticate and authorise humans, machines or services\nwhile eliminating local accounts and decreasing the overall total number of\naccounts and passwords.<\/li><li>Contextualise requests: Leverage\nITSM solutions to elevate privileges, leveraging context to make just-in-time\naccess decisions and leave zero standing privileges.<\/li><li>Secure admin environment: Ensure\naccess is only achieved through a clean source, reducing the risk of exposing\nservers to malware or introducing infections during a connection.<\/li><li>Grant least privilege: Allow\nJust enough privilege, for just enough time to get the job done. Enable\njust-in-time privilege based on temporary access through a simple request\nprocess and limit lateral movement by only granting access to the target\nresources needed and no more.<\/li><li>Audit everything: Maintain\naudit logs and video recordings as evidence of compliance, a best practice for\nprivileged sessions should forensic analysis or other review be required.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Digital Transformation demands a more modern approach to least privilege based on individual identities, not vaulting shared accounts.
