Fortra's Powertech Identity & Access Manager vs Heimdal Privileged Access Management comparison

Powertech Identity & Access Manager (BoKS) transforms your multi-vendor Linux and UNIX server environment into one centrally managed security domain. It simplifies your organization’s ability to enforce security policies, and control access to critical systems and information. With full control over accounts, access and privilege, IT and security teams can proactively prevent internal and external attacks on critical systems before they start.

Build truly in depth automated defences with the only solution with PAM, zero-trust execution and automatic de-escalation of user rights on threat detection. Move beyond outdated rights management tools and finally put a stop to insider threat.

Privileged Access Management allows you to easily elevate user rights or file executions, gives you the ability to revoke escalations and supports zero-trust execution.

Privileged Access Management features a lightweight and stunning interface that puts you in complete control over the user’s elevated session. Approve or deny from the dashboard or on the go right from your mobile device. Keep track of sessions, block elevation for system files, live-cancel user admin rights, set escalation period, and instantly shut down system process after session expiration.

Insider threats are on the rise. Deal with them on your terms and with the best tools available. Privileged Access Management unlocks an extra security layer that prevents malware from spreading through your networks – automatic rights removal* when a threat is detected on a machine running with elevated rights. Prevent, protect, and secure your networks inside and outside.

Security auditing tools can drive up the cost of your business. Heimdal’s PAM features advanced data analytics that will help you investigate incidents and perform regular security checkups. Quickly fetch graphic-rich reports on hostname details, average escalation duration, users or files escalated, files or processes ran during escalation, and more.

Go beyond privileges access management. With Heimdal’s PAM, you can easily prove NIST AC-5 and NIST AC-1,6 compliance, giving ease of mind to your customers and partners. Combine with Application Control for app, user & process throttling or with Next-Gen Antivirus for a secondary security shield. The possibilities are endless. Ready for the future of access governance.
