We’re elated to announce that ManageEngine has been recognized in the 2022 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Privileged Access Management.

Privileged access management is a package of cybersecurity strategies and access management tools used for controlling, monitoring, and safeguarding users with privileged access permissions. PAM is widely regarded by analysts and IT teams as a valuable and critical cybersecurity platform, as it's able to achieve high-security ROI.

We are proud to share that Keeper Security is highlighted in the 2022 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Privileged Access Management (PAM).1 Gartner evaluated eleven PAM vendors for 2022. Keeper’s inclusion acknowledges the team’s success since launching key PAM components such as Connection Manager, Secrets Manager and Password Manager, elevating our platform beyond a password manager.

User account credentials are both a necessary component of normal operations and a critical vector for a malicious actor’s entrance into an enterprise environment. Compensating for the inherent risk of granting the end user access to corporate systems is a challenge in balancing usability with security. When a user with low-level privileges can have their credentials abused to gain increased levels of access, superior solutions to standard username-and-password schemes become necessary.

Identity and Access Management or Identity Access Management (IAM) is a critical security function for organizations of all sizes for privileged access management. By managing access to systems and data, IAM can help mitigate the risk of information breaches and protect the organization's most valuable assets through IAM technologies.

In 2017 Gartner unveiled a new acronym “ZTNA” short for zero trust network access, and released the Market Guide for Zero Trust Network Access. Revolutionary, especially compared to its incumbent technologies like VPN, ZTNA solution quickly became a new form of remote access that was designed to replace traditional remote access technologies and all the risks they came with.

As a kid who grew up on a steady diet of network TV in the 80s, I always got excited when a crossover was teased at the end of an episode. Take the original Magnum PI starring Tom Selleck. There were several. Magnum and Hawaii Five-O… classic. Simon and Simon on the case with Higgins and Thomas Magnum in 1982, that was a good one! And who could not forget Jessica Fletcher (Angela Lansbury) using her detective skills in episode ‘Novel Connection’!
