Industry-leading, integrated technology
Today, cyberattacks and data leaks threaten organizations across the globe. These threats are very real, impacting every sector of business and millions of people worldwide. To prevent bad guys from getting in and insiders from abusing access privileges, you require expert management of privileged accounts.
Gain control of access to critical accounts, resulting in better visibility, accountability and efficiency.
Gaining control of privileged accounts is challenging—especially when you don’t know how many of these accounts exist within your enterprise. Experts suggest that organizations typically have 10 times more privileged accounts than they think they do, which is a problem because these accounts are keys to the kingdom. DXC Technology can help.
DXC Privileged Account Management (PAM) offers an industry-leading, integrated technology solution backed by expert consulting and managed security services that design, deploy, and manage privileged accounts. This lets you:
- Protect critical assets
- Meet compliance requirements
- Invest in business operations instead of IT and management resources
PAM also lowers administrative costs, provides consistent definition and application of policies, and effectively protects across diverse environments.
