Cegeka launches new solution for enhanced protection of ‘Privileged Accounts’

A recent report reveals that 90% of organizations have experienced at least one identity-related security incident in the past year. "Cybercriminals are getting increasingly creative," says Fabrice Wynants, VP of Cyber Security & Networking at Cegeka. "One of their favorite targets? Privileged accounts. If hackers get hold of these credentials, they gain direct access to sensitive systems and data." 

Rising Demand for PAM Solutions 

While privileged access management (PAM) was once primarily used by large organizations to manage and protect accounts with extensive privileges, it has now been widely adopted by organizations of all sizes and sectors. This shift is due to evolving regulations, such as NIS2 and DORA, as well as an increased focus on continuity and security. 

Setting up a PAM solution can be a complex challenge for companies, requiring significant time and expertise. Cegeka's Managed Privileged Access Management (MPAM) offers a rapid and fully managed solution to this challenge. "Unlike traditional implementations that can take 6 to 12 months, Cegeka delivers a fully operational solution within a few weeks with MPAM," says Ricardo Kowsoleea, Product Manager Identity & Access Management at Cegeka. "Cegeka handles the implementation, management, monitoring, updates, and continuous improvement of the PAM solution, including all necessary licenses, all at predictable costs with monthly billing. By taking this burden off their shoulders, Cegeka allows companies to focus on their core business while we ensure their sensitive data is optimally protected and compliant with all relevant security standards." 

Cegeka leverages Delinea, a leading player in PAM technology, for this service. 

Growing Investments in Identity & Access Management

With MPAM, Cegeka takes another step in bolstering the cyber resilience of companies. “IAM is crucial for the cyber resilience of organizations,” emphasizes Wynants. “We continue to invest in these solutions and expertise to help organizations defend against an increasingly complex threat landscape.” 

With a team of more than 60 IAM specialists in Belgium, the Netherlands, and the United States, Cegeka is a leader in Identity & Access Management services. Thanks to MPAM, organizations gain a powerful tool to optimize the management of privileged accounts, minimize risks, and comply with laws and regulations.
