With Account Lifecycle Manager, it is now possible to discover, provision and manage service accounts for all major cloud providers - Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform - from a central, policy-based solution.
ThycoticCentrify, a leading provider of cloud identity security solutions formed from the merger of two leaders in Privileged Access Management (PAM), Thycotic and Centrify, announces an extension of its industry-leading Account Lifecycle Manager (ALM) service account governance solution. This release enables organizations to take control of their growing number of privileged service accounts and provides full lifecycle management in multi-cloud environments.
Service Accounts in Multi-Cloud Environments
As organizations drive digital transformation and adapt to increasing numbers of remote workers, multi-cloud environments have become the norm. Most organizations use a combination of platforms to manage a variety of applications and processes. Due to the multitude of platforms, account management and governance are extremely demanding, complex and time-consuming. Access controls that organizations rely on for on-premises service accounts aren't nearly as granular in the cloud, if they exist at all. Each cloud platform has its own interface and security controls, requiring IT teams to understand the differences and manage each one.
Security Risk: Cloud-based service accounts
As a result, cloud-based service accounts can easily become a security risk if not managed correctly and with the right tools. With Account Lifecycle Manager, it is now possible to discover, provision and manage service accounts for all major cloud providers - Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform - from a central, policy-based solution.
“Automation and ongoing development have resulted in a multitude of service accounts used by cloud and hybrid applications. Their number and complexity will continue to increase,” says Jon Kuhn, senior vice president of product management at ThycoticCentrify. "Account Lifecycle Manager empowers teams to ensure consistent security policies, account governance, and cross-platform reporting."
