SSH and Ubisecure Partner to Drive Higher Automation for Privileged Access Management
Solution Combines Strong Digital Identity with Privileged Access Management
GARTNER IDENTITY AND ACCESS MANAGEMENT SUMMIT, LAS VEGAS – December 3, 2018 – SSH.COM and Ubisecure today announced a partnership designed to help organizations connect strong identity with Privileged Access Management to provide unified identity-driven, automated, role-based access controls for administrators, developers, DevOps teams, and third-party personnel.
Ubisecure is a pioneering b2b and b2c Identity & Access Management (IAM) software provider and cloud identity services enabler dedicated to helping its customers realize the true potential of digital business.
PrivX®, SSH.COM’s patented lean Privileged Access Management solution for Cloud and on-premise extends Ubisecure’s Identity Platform to enable a new, more secure approach to the management of privileged access to business systems. Privileged users (including third-party employees) gain secure, role-based, on-demand access to critical development and production resources, helping improve security and reduce administration.
PrivX is a ‘credentialless’ on-demand solution that solves one of the biggest concerns for CIOs and CISOs today: how to manage an endless number of privileged access credentials, usually created ad hoc, that waste resources and expand the threat surface.
“Growing trends in mobility and cloud brings opportunity to drive efficiency and quality through the use of external operational resources end experts, but these trends also bring new threats,” said Charles Sederholm, VP Business Development at Ubisecure. “In this partnership, Ubisecure Identity Server delivers seamless security policy driven strong authentication and role management for external identities. Working in concert, PrivX and the Ubisecure Identity Server combine to improve the reach, quality and efficiency of policy-based governance. This combination extends the scope of Ubisecure Identity Server controlled policies also to include services with Privileged Access Management that DevOps and server admins require to be productive and safe.”
“Working with Ubisecure is a natural choice for us as the cooperation complements their core offering and helps bring PrivX to an ever-widening audience,” said Sami Ahvenniemi, Chief Customer Officer at SSH.COM. “Ubisecure is particularly strong in Northern Europe and together we bring the one-two punch of digital identity and next-generation Privileged Access Management to developers and admins who create and manage the digital customer experiences and drive digital transformation.”
