One Identity helps secure critical infrastructure
providers transitioning to a remote workforce
As critical organisations rush to enable as many remote workers as
possible, best practices for keeping users secure have become an
ongoing challenge.
To help, One Identity, a proven leader in identity-centred security, is
offering free use of One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions for
six months to all critical infrastructure providers.
Organisations rely on privileged IT users to configure systems and
perform vital functions so their enterprises stay up and running.
If this privileged access is not controlled as it shifts to remote
administration, they will face heightened risk. Unmanaged privileged
access opens the door to attackers who can leverage it to steal data
or compromise systems.

One Identity’s Safeguard for Privileged Sessions enables
organisations to reduce this risk by monitoring and managing
privileged access without hindering productivity. The solution deploys
quickly and mitigates risk of a security breach by monitoring and
managing privileged access to an enterprise’s most critical systems.
“These are unprecedented times and organisations across all
industries are being pushed to adapt quickly with little guidance
on how to do so, potentially leaving them vulnerable,” said David
Earhart, President and General Manager of One Identity.
“At One Identity we want to support those critical infrastructure
providers who are being asked to do so much right now, by providing
them the privileged access management capabilities they need
to keep their systems secure without getting in the way of their
essential missions.”
