The primary components of Securden Unified PAM include modules for password management, privileged account oversight, secure remote access, application governance, endpoint privilege regulation, management of privileged sessions, and SSH key administration. Additionally, the platform is aligned with numerous compliance standards such as NIS2, DORA, NIST, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and ISO-IEC 27001, ensuring rigorous security measures. Installation is generally rapid, often completed in mere minutes, and organizations can expect to have a fully operational privileged access management system set up in under a month using Securden Unified PAM. Furthermore, this efficiency allows businesses to quickly enhance their security posture while minimizing disruptions to their ongoing operations.

Password security is the foundation of cybersecurity. Keeper's powerful password security platform will protect your business from cyberthreats and data breaches related to passwords. Research shows that 81% of data breaches can be attributed to weak passwords. Password security platforms are an affordable and easy way for companies to address the root cause of most data breaches. Your business can significantly reduce the risk of data breaches by implementing Keeper. Keeper creates strong passwords for all websites and apps, then secures them on all devices. Each employee receives a private vault to store and manage their passwords, credentials and files, as well as private client data. Employees will save time and frustration by not having to remember, reset, reuse, or remember passwords. Industry compliance is achieved through strict and customizable role-based access controls. This includes 2FA, usage auditing, and event reporting.

Securden Endpoint Privilege Manager (EPM) enables enterprises to remove admin rights without impacting productivity on Windows, Mac, and Linux endpoints. Securden EPM helps elevate applications for standard users and grant admin rights on a Just-in-Time (JIT) basis, eliminating standing privileges while ensuring users can run required applications without friction. Organizations can enforce application control using allowlisting and blocklisting to prevent unauthorized or risky software execution while enabling secure operations. The solution supports on-demand application elevation and policy-based granular application elevation control, allowing security teams to define exactly which apps can run with elevated rights and under what conditions. Privilege management continues even on offline endpoints, ensuring protection for remote and traveling users. Built-in JIT local admin rights reduce risk by granting temporary elevation only when required. Additional capabilities include application usage tracking for better policy decisions, continuous local administrator group monitoring to prevent privilege creep, and secure remote access for IT helpdesk teams to troubleshoot systems without exposing credentials. Securden EPM also helps organizations meet compliance requirements such as HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GDPR, and NERC-CIP. With a highly scalable architecture and a wide array of integrations, the platform delivers enterprise-grade endpoint privilege management while maintaining operational efficiency and user productivity.

Both IT teams and end users are afflicted by password reset tickets. IT teams will often push more urgent issues down the queue to ensure that users don't have their work put on hold while their passwords reset. Password reset tickets can be costly if they aren't addressed promptly. Nearly 30 percent of all help desk tickets were caused by forgotten passwords. It is not surprising that large companies have spent more than $1 million to resolve password-related help desk requests. It is a good habit to change passwords regularly, as it helps prevent cyberattacks caused by stolen credentials. Security experts recommend that administrators ensure that users change their passwords regularly and have password expiration policies in place.
