Delinea, a provider of privileged access management (PAM) solutions for comprehensive security, has announced new features and enhancements to Secret Server’s capabilities.
In addition to new design updates based on customer feedback, the company introduced new security controls for improved resiliency and Remote Access Service, a VPN-less session management feature of Secret Server for even easier and integrated privileged account management.
“With this latest release of Secret Server, we are improving the resiliency of secrets for our customers with automated disaster recovery options for both on-premises and the cloud,” said Phil Calvin, Chief Product Officer at Delinea. “We are also improving usability and reducing friction by providing session management capabilities that require no VPN or end-user client to better support the current environment where more employees and contractors are working remotely.”
According to the CrowdStrike Global Threat Report 2022, 80% of all cyberattacks involve credentials. Simultaneously, organizations are moving more of their infrastructure to the cloud and allowing their employees to work remotely, increasing the attack surface. To reduce risk, all organizations must protect accounts and credentials while managing privileged access, regardless of the location of the vault or the employees.
Secret Server’s latest release adds to the company’s existing disaster recovery capabilities by providing automated redundancy to ensure break-glass access to secrets in the unlikely event of infrastructure failure. Customers can now automatically replicate secret data to another on-premises or cloud instance to ensure resiliency, whether Secret Server is deployed on-premises or in the cloud. Improvements to cloud infrastructure enable seamless failover, faster disaster recovery, and hybrid failover.
Delinea is also introducing the new Remote Access Service add-on for Secret Server this month. This new feature allows contractors and remote employees to manage RDP/SSH sessions without requiring a VPN. Remote Access Service, in addition to Secret Server’s current session management capabilities, improves ease of use and reduces friction by requiring no end-user client or VPN connection to better support the various environments and systems used by an extended workforce. Remote Access Service is compatible with both on-premises and cloud-based Secret Server.
The latest release also includes enhancements to password complexity rules, revisions to incident response practices, and many UI improvements for a seamless user experience.
