Compare Adept Secure vs. Admin By Request Endpoint Privilege Management

The race to be the first in application development, combined with the utilization of open-source technology, has resulted in an environment ripe for hackers. The United States and its allies now face an overwhelming surge of cyber terror incidents. Various forms of cyberattacks—such as hacking, cracking, kill chains, zero-day vulnerabilities, ransomware, and denial of service—have evolved in complexity, outpacing the defensive capabilities of many organizations. A notable incident occurred on December 23, 2015, when Ukrainian power companies faced unexpected power outages, affecting a significant portion of the population. Furthermore, there have been alarming reports of malware infiltrating multiple Ukrainian firms across critical infrastructure sectors. Publicly available information has revealed the presence of Black Energy (BE) malware within the computer networks of several power companies, raising concerns about the security of essential services. This situation highlights the dire need for improved cybersecurity measures to combat these advanced threats effectively.

Admin By Request EPM is an endpoint privilege management solution for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It removes permanent local admin rights and grants elevation only when a task requires it, so a compromised account can't take over an entire system. Elevation applies to applications rather than user accounts, and privileges can be delegated by user or group to fit developers, general staff, and third-party contractors alike. Threat and behavioral analytics identify risky users, assets, and software, and every session is logged for auditing. The solution runs from a single portal, works online or offline, and requires no additional servers or databases.
