I have used ERPM, but it was difficult to upgrade the product. The structure of the vaulting policies was not conducive to Ally’s organization. Plus, it ran on Windows, which in our world you want to always go with a Linux solution, when possible.

View full review »Being in the technology sector for many years, we did not initially use products such as the CA PAM. We relied on common architecture, such as Microsoft and Oracle. As the need for more segregation of duties became prevalent, we looked to enhance our security with privileged access management. The feedback from most clients surrounding PAM is it provides a segregated extension of access control framework to enable better protection of customer privacy/data.

Over time security has been becoming more prevalent, mainly because of the number of attacks out there. We found that just by looking at our whole portfolio of solutions that we already had in place, there were definitely some small gaps and areas that we needed to fill. PAM was one of the solutions that we found to help us with vaulting credentials, rapidly changing credentials.
Beforehand, for administrators to change certain credentials, they would have to go in and there would be change control processes that they had to go through. The vaulting automates a lot of that for us.
Yeah, we were using OpenVPN. We were using OpenVPN, and the biggest single reason was dual-factor authentication with PIV and CAC. That was the biggest single reason.
