Five Reasons to Implement Xton Access Manager Today
Privileged Account Management is a number one security remedy for all networks – small or large.
Privileged account management (PAM) is a number one in the list of Gartner Top 10 Security Projects for security teams to implement: https://www.gartner.com/smarterwithgartner/gartner-top-10-security-projects-for-2018/.
PAM implementation dramatically reduces network exposure to the various types of threats by:
- reducing number of privileged or shared accounts;
- limiting number of internal and external stakeholders possessing sensitive credentials;
- increasing authentication strength (such as employing multi-factor authentication);
- tight control over permission and workflow-based authorization;
- extensive audit logging and reporting.
In addition to this, PAM often is required to comply with government or industry regulations.
Xton Access Manager is a full featured PAM product easy to try and evaluate.
Privileged account management is an umbrella term for a set of tools that includes:

- Session video, keystroke and event recording;
- White- and black-listing of commands;
- Dual control, peer review access approval workflows;
- Event-based password and certificate rotation;
