Bomgar has released the latest version of its Privileged Access Management solution. Bomgar Privileged Access Management enables security professionals to control, monitor, and manage access to critical systems by privileged users and third-party vendors. Bomgar’s unique approach allows companies to quickly gain control of system access and protect themselves against cyberattacks without requiring time-consuming process changes.
 
With Bomgar, privileged users access secure systems without a VPN, significantly reducing the risk of attackers gaining a foothold within a secure network via a compromised VPN connection. Bomgar Privileged Access Management 15.3 introduces new capabilities that further fortify security while streamlining access for privileged users and improving user administration:
 
·         Privileged Web – New web console enables fast, secure remote access for privileged users who are unable to install software on their own desktop environments or require the ability to gain access from anywhere at any time. Bomgar’s Privileged Web is the perfect option for third parties and vendors who need quick, authorized access to sensitive systems.
·         Mobile Access Console Enhancements – Allows security professionals to fully manage, monitor, and approve privileged access from their iOS or Android device when away from their workstation and on the go.
·         Multi-Factor Authentication – New native multi-factor authentication capabilities improve security without requiring external integrations or additional costs for expensive token-based authentication systems.
·         Session Forensics – Speeds search of shell access recordings for discovery and auditing, automatically taking users to key terms found in the shell recording.
·         Change Management Workflow Integrations – Bomgar integrates with existing change management systems to facilitate advanced approval workflows for authorized access to critical systems and infrastructure.
·         Endpoint Surface Analyzer – Allows security professionals to monitor port exposure of endpoints, improving their ability to defend against malware and limit unnecessary vulnerabilities.
 
“Privileged access management solutions are a necessary tool in every organization’s defence in depth arsenal to protect their data and critical systems from cybercriminals,” said Sam Elliott, director of security product management, Bomgar. “Today’s security professionals have to defend against hackers who are relentlessly probing for any chance to compromise access to secure networks. The Bomgar Privileged Access Management solution is designed to support current access processes, allowing our customers to quickly set up and maintain an effective line of defence against attackers from anywhere, at any time, and from any device.”
