SITS Group announces the introduction of Privileged Access Management as a Service (PAM as a Service) for customers in the DACH region. PAM as a Service is built on SITS long-standing and successful best practices foundation, alongside CyberArk Privileged Access Manager. CyberArk was recently named a Leader in the latest “Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Privileged Access Management”* (PAM). PAM as a Service is now available throughout Europe.
In today’s digital landscape, privileged access accounts are the “keys to the kingdom” for cybercriminals, providing unrestricted access to systems and data. Consequently, cybercriminals target these high-value identities, with most breaches involving privileged accounts, highlighting the need for robust PAM solutions. Cyberattacks, including ransomware, have become increasingly problematic, partly due to attackers exploiting vulnerabilities in unmanaged privileged identities.
By offering PAM as a Service, SITS Group ensures that all organizations can benefit from cutting-edge security measures without the complexities of managing and maintaining the infrastructure and configuration. Included in PAM as a Service:
- Fully managed by SITS Group (MSP) cloud-based PAM solution from CyberArk:
- Privileged Access Management
- 3rd Party Remote Vendor Access
- Secure Infrastructure Access
- Up and running in 6 weeks
- No set-up charges, only a fixed monthly fee
- Standardized processes and fully managed by certified specialists
- Highly scalable, fit for small and medium-sized enterprises
Pascal Keller, Chief Executive Officer at SITS Group, comments:
“We are excited to now provide small and medium-sized businesses more access to CyberArk technology through our PAM as a Service offering, enabling them to control, monitor, and secure privileged access to their critical systems and sensitive data. We are proud to be the first to introduce a fully managed, cloud-based service tailored specifically for SMEs — ready to use within just six weeks, at a predictable monthly fee, and with no upfront investment required.”
Carsten Wenzel, Senior Manager, EMEA Channel, at Cyberark, comments:
“This partnership with SITS Group, a leading player in cybersecurity, represents a significant milestone in CyberArk’s commitment to providing first-class PAM services to organizations of all sizes. Given that privileged accounts are often implicated in breaches, this collaboration highlights our dedication to strengthening identity security management measures, helping to mitigate the risk of data breaches, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.”
John van Westeneng, Chief Solutions Officer and Group CISO at SITS Group, praises the new PAM managed service:
“This is a game-changer in IAM managed services. It addresses the major risks of privileged access that is involved in most cyberattacks. Our customers can now benefit from best-in-class PAM
managed services, with unparalleled scalability, speed, and affordability. I am proud of the team that made this possible.” For more information about PAM as a Service, please visit: https://sits.com/en/identity-access-management/pamaas
