Centrify Named Best Privileged Account Security Product in Cyber Defense Magazine's 2019 InfoSec Awards


Centrify, a leading provider of cloud-ready Zero Trust Privilege to secure modern enterprises, today announced that Cyber Defense Magazine, a premier source of IT Security information, has named Centrify the Best Privileged Account Security Product in its 2019 InfoSec Awards.

"It's an honor to be recognized for our commitment to help stop the leading cause of breaches - privileged credential abuse," said Andy Smith, vice president of product marketing at Centrify. "It's critical that companies secure privileged access with a Zero Trust approach to reduce risk and limit access to sensitive data and critical infrastructure. Zero Trust Privilege helps enterprises grant least privilege access based on verifying who is requesting access, the context of the request, and the risk of the access environment."

Catastrophic data breaches have become more common in a mobile-first, cloud-first world. Cyber attackers are no longer hacking their way in; they are logging in using weak or compromised passwords, then moving laterally across the network to gain privileged access to steal data and cover their tracks. In fact, a recent Centrify study found that privileged credential abuse is involved in 74 percent of data breaches. From a hacker's perspective, privileged access is one of the easiest ways to reach sensitive and potentially valuable information that can then be exploited.

To stop this leading cause of breaches, Centrify is redefining the legacy approach to Privileged Access Management by delivering cloud-ready Zero Trust Privilege to secure infrastructure, DevOps, cloud, containers, Big Data and other modern attack surfaces.

"With Cybercrime continuing to gain momentum, surpassing global drug crime last year and projected to reach over $1T in theft and damages in 209, we are proud to see Centrify as an award-winning innovator, offering a new approach to defeat these criminals," said Pierlugi Paganini, Editor-in-Chief, Cyber Defense Magazine.
