When the boss won’t budget for Privileged Access Management (PAM)
Osirium
Research shows that unmanaged, unmonitored privileged accounts make up 80% of security breaches*, and with 73% of cyber breaches being financially motivated**, you can be sure that the cost to your business, beyond reputational damage and fines, is set to be disastrous. And yet some organisational decision-makers continue to fail to allocate resource to PAM solutions…
What would a data breach cost your business?
You only have to take a look at recent data breaches to see how unmanaged, unmonitored privileged accounts are proving an easy target for both external attacks and malicious insiders. But how seriously should you be taking the threat? Ponemon estimate the global average cost of a data breach in 2017 to be $3.62 million, with the average cost for each lost or stolen record containing sensitive and confidential information to be $141***. Making matters more pressing are reporting larger breaches, with the average size of 2017 data breaches increasing 1.8 percent to more than 24,000 records***.
If your business still isn’t convinced about the scale of the issue, take a look at IBM Security’s data breach calculator, which uses data to allow you to estimate the cost of a data breach to your company, dependent on your geography, sector and contextual factors.
PxM Express
As an early Christmas present, we are proud to announce the launch of our new free-of-charge product PxM Express. PxM Express is a costless, scaled down version of our classic PxM Platform solution, designed to provide PAM to businesses with up to 25 servers or network devices, or larger businesses seeking to convince their management teams of the value PAM can bring.
Our PxM Express solution ensures that privileged account credentials never exist on the users’ workstation, making interception an impossibility; addressing both security and compliance requirements by defining who gets access to what and when. You don’t need to make any changes to your existing IT infrastructure, as PxM Express can improve your security posture effortlessly by using what you already have installed.
We chose Osirium's PxM Express solution to remove the risk of our privileged accounts being compromised both internally and by potential external threats.
The value of cost-free PAM
Deployment of PxM Express is exceptionally quick, with hassle-free installation taking less than 8 minutes to complete on a typical large-scale infrastructure. Should you have any issues, you can contact our support team free of charge. PxM Express allows you to immediately import up to 25 servers or network devices across your IT estate, and if and when you choose to upgrade to our PxM Platform further down the line, you can keep these 25 servers or network devices comprehensively covered – at no additional cost. Additionally, the perpetual licensing means that license renewals are a thing of the past. From the moment you import your devices you are covered – forever, removing one of IT’s biggest compliance headaches.
