Remediant, Now Part of Netwrix, Unveils PAM+ Strategy to Protect Against Credential Compromise and Lateral Movement Attacks

Remediant, now part of Netwrix, today announced Remediant PAM+™ at the 2022 Gartner® Identity & Access Management Summit in Las Vegas. Pivotal in the transformation of Privilege Access Management (PAM) market, PAM+ is the emerging industry strategy aimed to protect access and to accelerate enterprises’ Zero Trust initiatives.

Remediant is at the forefront of the PAM+ trend with its agentless SecureONE product (now Netwrix Privilege Secure for Discovery). The company has doubled ARR and doubled its deployments in the last twelve months, with 75% of these deployments delivering on functionality promised by legacy PAM vendors that were never met. Customers confirm that SecureONE stops lateral movement, frustrates red teams, and meets stringent cyber insurance requirements for reduced premiums. Legacy PAM falls short of this threshold of protection, further reaffirming Remediant’s innovative PAM+ strategy.

Protecting credentials isn’t enough today. Despite large investments in legacy PAM solutions, cyberattacks are still successful because of privileged identity sprawl: a massive attack surface that attackers drool over. As noted within the MITRE ATTACK framework, admin credentials are central to every successful cyberattack - attackers use this access to capitalize on the privilege sprawl and move laterally to gain unfettered access to an organization’s most valuable data and IP.

PAM+ goes beyond legacy PAM approaches to address these risks head-on. Through six unique and differentiated capabilities, PAM+ provides unprecedented value in the customers' Zero Trust journey:

• Removes the unnecessary always-on, always-available privilege access
• Eliminates the impact of compromised admin credentials
• Renders password-stealing malware ineffective
• Routes all administrative access with Multi-Factor Authentication
• Radically improves IAM/PAM program maturity by virtue of protecting access
• Delivers rapid time-to-value: agentless, with seamless integration into IT and security workflows

Privilege sprawl and credential misuse is a factor in nearly every cyberattack, so much so that both are being specifically identified as reasons for rapidly increasing cyber insurance premiums. The innovative PAM+ strategy promises to disrupt the stagnant PAM solutions market and truly solve for the today’s operational and cybersecurity pains. Remediant is laser-focused on protecting access, thereby preventing lateral movement for every customer – regardless of size, architecture model or vendor ecosystem.
