LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bomgar, a leader in secure remote support and access management solutions, today announced it’s recognized as a representative vendor in this year’s Gartner Market Guide for Privileged Access Management. The report provides an analysis of the privileged access management (PAM) market and vendors who offer PAM solutions. According to the guide, the PAM market continues to see strong growth across the board, “with the growth rate for 2014 estimated to have been 32%.” The report also found that, “while in 2013 the majority of inquiries about PAM tools from Gartner clients were driven by compliance concerns and operational efficiency, a large part is now driven by the desire to mitigate threats of breaches and insider attacks. Gartner expects this trend to continue at least until 2016.”
According to Felix Gaehtgens, research director and Anmol Singh, principal research analyst at Gartner, “Establishing controls around privileged access continues to be a focus of attention for organizations and auditors. IAM and security leaders must be prepared to secure, manage and monitor privileged accounts and access. A thriving market provides many options for tools to help with these tasks.”1
The Bomgar Privileged Access Management solution enables security professionals to control, monitor, and manage access to critical systems by privileged users. With Bomgar, organizations can provide administrators, vendors, and business users with the access capabilities they need to be more productive, while protecting high value infrastructure, assets, and applications from cyber breaches.
“Privileged access management technologies not only help organizations secure their privileged accounts and credentials, but also granularly control and monitor who is accessing critical systems and what they’re doing on those systems, which is often overlooked,” said Sam Elliott, director of emerging technologies, Bomgar. “With more and more data breaches being traced back to compromised access through either an employee or third-party vendor, controlling access has to be a priority. We’re proud to offer a solution that helps security professionals better manage access, while also making their users more productive and efficient.
