Compare Admin By Request Endpoint Privilege Management vs. AhnLab Xcanner

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.

Applying the latest security updates to various fixed-function systems, including Industrial Control Systems (ICS), Point of Sale (POS) systems, KIOSKs, and ATMs, poses significant challenges because of their outdated operating systems and inherent sensitivity, which increases their susceptibility to malware attacks. Consequently, these systems are often situated in air-gapped or low-bandwidth network environments that are tailored to execute specific tasks with minimal system demands, making it nearly impossible to implement engine updates or utilize security software designed for standard PC environments for real-time detection and remediation. AhnLab Xcanner addresses these challenges by allowing users to customize scanning and repair settings based on the specific operating conditions of each system while ensuring minimal interference with existing security agents. Its intuitive design enables on-site personnel and facility managers, even those lacking security expertise, to effectively manage and respond to malware threats with ease. This accessibility empowers organizations to maintain a higher level of security without the need for extensive training.
