5 steps to elevate cybersecurity with ScreenConnect Privileged Access, a standalone PAM solution

The cybersecurity landscape is unforgiving. Breaches are on the rise, costs are soaring (think $4.5 million!), and traditional defenses are often like Swiss cheese—full of holes. That’s where privileged access management (PAM) comes in, offering an ironclad shield to protect your most critical systems.

But what if you need a PAM solution that’s powerful yet refreshingly simple? Great news! ScreenConnect Privileged Access is now offered as a standalone PAM solution. No more wrestling with integrations, just robust security that seamlessly bolsters your existing workflow.

Standalone PAM makes your security airtight

Unlike traditional PAM solutions that can leave your existing tech full of gaps and vulnerabilities, Privileged Access is a breath of fresh air. Designed for versatility, it integrates effortlessly with your current remote support and RMM environment. This means you can add a powerful layer of security without needing a complete overhaul. Your team can keep working efficiently with their familiar workflows, with the added benefit of airtight protection. So, what makes Privileged Access both simple and secure?

Enter the secret weapon: least privilege access control. Traditional security often grants users more permissions than they need, creating a vast network of access points—a security nightmare. Privileged Access operates on a different wavelength. It enforces the principle of least privilege, ensuring users only have the minimum access required to perform their tasks. This tactical approach doesn’t just mitigate risks; it empowers IT teams to navigate their responsibilities with precision, ensuring the integrity of your environment remains safeguarded.

Consider this scenario: a technician requires access to reset a password. With Privileged Access, they aren’t granted permanent admin rights. Instead, they receive temporary, ephemeral access specifically for that task. This proactive approach not only minimizes risks but also empowers your IT team to operate efficiently, all while safeguarding your critical systems.

5 steps to enhance your cybersecurity posture with Privileged Access

It's a solution that redefines cybersecurity efficiency, ensuring that your network is defended without sacrificing user experience or complicating your IT ecosystem.

Step 2: Increase technician productivity and security

Empower your IT team with the tools they need to peak efficiency. Privileged Access enhances productivity through streamlined credential less logins and efficient elevation request management, all while maintaining robust security controls. This step ensures that your technicians can focus on keeping your systems running smoothly and securely, minimizing downtime and maximizing operational effectiveness.

Step 4: Empower end users without compromising security

Striking the right balance between tight security protocols and user autonomy, Privileged Access streamlines user account control (UAC) by enforcing least-privilege access. This ensures that users maintain productivity without unnecessary admin rights, significantly reducing potential security breaches. Our solution also automates approval workflows for access and elevation, expediting processes and enhancing the user experience while ensuring compliance and readiness for cyber insurance.

Privileged Access stands out as a flexible solution that seamlessly adapts to your operational needs. Compatible with a broad array of tools and services, including ScreenConnect, for uninterrupted operations and remote support, it integrates smoothly into your IT processes.
