80% - the proportion of data breaches starting with misuse of privileged credentials.

FORRESTER WAVE

52% said they would “definitely” or at least “consider” bypassing secure access controls if they were under pressure to meet a deadline.

VANSON BOURNE

It’s an innovative approach but one that does bring functional and security advantages... there are no passwords to issue or lose, since there are no permanent leave-behind credentials.

Increase security, not costs or complexity

In modern IT, there are a lot of moving parts that add complexity to privileged access management (PAM): multiple protocols, password management, dynamic multi-cloud targets, many tools, internal and external superusers, remote work, constant access configurations and different levels of privilege per session. This adds risk and raises legitimate cost and operational efficiency concerns.

That is why we introduced a solution that is lean and a perfect fit for the age of the hybrid cloud. The next wave of secure access is simple, cost-efficient and bloat-free - and gets you started on your journey towards modern, passwordless IT. We believe access shouldn't get in the way of productive work.

Passwordless, just-in-time & Zero Trust authentication

With PrivX, all secrets needed for a connection are created on-demand and just-in-time (JIT), so they exist long enough to establish the connection but disappear automatically afterwards. These short-lived ephemeral certificates free you from the pain and complexity of managing leave-behind credentials.

Integration with IGA/IAM authentication ensures that access is automatically granted at the right time for the right person for the right duration of time and with the right level of privilege.

This mitigates the risk of privilege abuse by ensuring no secrets can be shared, lost or stolen. Align your policies with the Zero Trust framework and Gartner’s Zero Standing Privileges model.

Privileged access management re-imagined

Centralize access to all targets

PrivX is your single privileged access management tool for all your mission-critical targets:

on-premises servers
multi-cloud hosts
network devices
web applications and management consoles

Every session leaves an audit trail, regardless of the required protocol (SSH, RDP, VNC or HTTPS), and can be recorded if needed.

Joiners, movers & leavers process made easy

PrivX syncs with Active Directory and automatically maps your existing identity groups to specific access privileges through roles.

Users and user groups can be federated from Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), Identity and Access Management (IAM), Identity Management (IDM) solutions via OpenID Connect (OIDC).

Your access rights (authorizations) are always up to date and in line with HR processes. Role-based access control (RBAC) removes the need to make changes to targets every time there are changes in users or user groups. That’s the joiners, movers and leavers process made easy.

Multi-cloud-native, legacy-friendly & hybrid-proof

PrivX provides efficient access management to your on-prem, cloud or hybrid servers and applications. You see your entire multi-cloud and on-prem server estate in real time, under one roof. Automatic discovery of cloud hosts (AWS, GCP, Azure, OpenStack) with script-based on-boarding reduces manual labor, with no agents needed.

PrivX Extender, an add-on reverse proxy component, enables access to isolated environments (VPCs, hosts without public IPs or behind firewalls) from a single console.

Ease-of-use & productivity combined

PrivX provides single sign-on (SSO) access for internal and external users, secured by multi- factor authentication (MFA). It provides just enough access (JEA) to targets based on their current authorizations.

The PrivX UI is built on HTML5 to work smoothly on any modern browser without plug-ins. The solution also has a low learning curve: no need to learn various vendor-native tools, hop between consoles, deal with client software or configure digital keys, like SSH Keys.

Say no to big IT projects & monster infrastructures

PrivX can be installed on-premises or on-cloud. Its microservices architecture makes it perfect and easy for cloud deployments, since the solution takes advantage of built-in cloud provider components.

PrivX is also available as Infrastructure-as-a-Code to be easily installed on your AWS account. It can be deployed in days and scales smoothly on-demand.

Save time, money and nerves

PrivX accelerates the daily work of your privileged users, automates routines, minimizes complexity, reduces the time and costs associated with password and credentials management, and operates in a set-it-and-forget-it fashion.

This translates into improved operational efficiency, a great Return on Investment (ROI) and low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
