In June, we announced our Onion ID acquisition and added three new Access Controller solutions to our Privileged Access Management portfolio: Cloud Access Controller, Database Access Controller, and Remote Access Controller. These Access Controllers allow you to embed security controls within the four highest-risk layers of any modern organization’s infrastructure: Clouds, Data, and Devices.
Clouds: We now empower CISOs to onboard more SaaS apps without sacrificing the granular authorization and audit controls they need with Cloud Access Controller. Our new solutions are also container-based and IaaS-agnostic, so you can deploy them anywhere.
Data: Database Access Controller extends multi-factor authentication (MFA) options against any cloud or on-premises database (e.g., Redis), while layering IGA controls for enhanced governance. Users can restrict exposure of sensitive content—i.e., PII—across any web application or database as well.
Devices: Remote Access Controller provides a super easy way for remote workers and third-party contractors to access corporate resources from any device, like a Chromebook, without having to sacrifice end user experience. This is an attractive option for organizations who want to reduce their hardware investments without having to worry about complex agent-based deployments or VPNs.
It is no longer enough to control only privileged access, all access must be controlled and managed in a zero-trust world. Cloud Access Controller, Remote Access Controller, and Database Access Controller allow organizations to expand their control to a more granular level. These solutions extend IT teams’ ability to address emerging PAM challenges by protecting access to SaaS applications, cloud infrastructure, and ensuring remote workers stay productive and secure.
