GEC Security Symposium & Cyber Sentinels Future Security Awards<\/b><\/h3>\n

The IT security community believes that the remote work culture and remote workplace would increasingly be a norm as many companies are prioritizing employee health and wellness amid uncertainty arising from the pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the remote workplace poses unprecedented security challenges for the organizations. To mitigate the emerging cyber risks, especially secure remote access, organizations are left with no choice but to implement transparent and comprehensive IT security policies and take proactive measures to ensure business data safety and integrity.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the last fifteen months, it has been observed that organizations worked remotely where the privileged users accessed critical applications\/ systems and confidential databases as a part of daily IT operations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How can we ensure security of business data in remote work conditions?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

ARCON\u2019s Privileged Access Management (PAM)<\/span><\/span><\/a> addresses the challenges with the help of robust security tools. ARCON developed a host of robust security tools such as Application Streaming Server, End-user Behaviour Monitoring (ARCON PAM\u2019s UEBA agent that leverages AI\/ML to detect endpoint risks on real-time basis, Just-in-time privileges capability among many that offered secure remote access on \u2018need-to-know\u2019 and \u2018need-to-do\u2019 basis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The solution prevents malicious insiders and other access management associated risks while working remotely. ARCON also bridges the gap between low-friction and high security identity management requirements which raises end-users\u2019 productivity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The cyber threat landscape is increasingly getting vulnerable every day. There is no limit to betterment when it comes to upgrading the enterprise security posture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Keeping that in mind, the Cyber Sentinels Future Security Awards 2021 recognized the security vendors, VADs, System Integrators and Resellers who have walked the extra mile to meet the security needs with innovations and customizations of their solutions. The value for money as per security offerings have also been taken into consideration.<\/span><\/p>\n

ARCON received the coveted award for Privileged Access Management and received a big round of applause from the audience. The global CIO Forum recognized ARCON\u2019s contribution towards securing global organizations\u2019 information assets with the help of its highly-mature Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
