Hello community,
I am the Associate VP and Cyber Security Specialist at a large bank.
I am researching PAM tools. These are our requirements for the PAM tool needed:
- Privileged Access Governance and Administrative
- Privileged Accounts Discovery and Management
- Privileged Credentials Management
- Privileged Session Management
- Privileged Access Logging, Reporting, and Audit
- Privileged Access Analytics and Response
- Integration with Other Systems
- Ease of Deployments and configurations
Which PAM tool would you suggest that I use: CyberArk Privileged Access Manager, One Identity Safeguard, Delinea Secret Server, or BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access?
Thank you for your help.
I prefer CyberArk Privileged Access Manager because it offers the strongest security, session monitoring, and compliance capabilities among PAM tools.
It’s ideal for enterprise environments where privileged access needs to be tightly controlled and audited, even though it requires more effort to implement.
Based on your extensive list of requirements, CyberArk Privileged Access Manager appears to align well with your needs due to its comprehensive feature set, strong security controls, integration capabilities, and advanced analytics for privileged access. However, it's important to conduct in-depth evaluations, demos, and discussions with each vendor to ensure that the chosen tool meets all your specific needs and integrates seamlessly into your existing infrastructure.
However, I recommend visiting the official website of Broadcom (the company that acquired Symantec's enterprise security business) or contacting their sales representatives to get the most up-to-date information about their PAM solutions, including any rebranding or changes that may have occurred.
When evaluating any PAM solution, it's essential to consider factors such as security, integration capabilities, ease of use, vendor support, scalability, and alignment with your organization's specific needs and compliance requirements. It's also a good practice to request demonstrations, proofs of concept, and references from vendors to ensure that the solution meets your expectations.
Remember to involve key stakeholders, such as IT, security, compliance, and management teams, in the decision-making process to ensure alignment with organizational goals and requirements.
Hello Avinash, it all depends on the timeline and urgency of the project. If you need to deploy a PAM tool that focuses on standing privileges, stopping lateral movement, and incorporating Zero Standing Privileges as part of Zero Trust, then please consider looking at Remediant. I've worked for BeyondTrust and have gone up against the other big players such as Delinea, Centrify, CyberArk, and HashiCorp. They more or less all offer similar solutions, but looking at your current requirements, Remediant really excels in delivering a simple, yet very effective tool in a matter of days and weeks, not months and years.
