Sectona release new version 3.7 of Privileged Access Management components with host new Enhancements, performance improvements, and new features to create a scintillating user experience, and here are the Highlights listed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enabled Just-In-Time Access feature<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have included a feature of Just-in-time (JIT)<\/a> to support customers programs of implementing Zero Standing Privileges. Now with this feature, customers have an option to enable with JIT accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just-In-Time policy management feature allows a combination of Least Privilege approaches by removing standing privileges and granting scope-defined access to an asset for a defined period only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once an asset is enabled for JIT access, a policy can be enabled to Enable\/Disable accounts, Provisioning Access using ephemeral accounts at run time or elevating an account at run time. A combination of this allows you to customize policies based on business needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To implement this feature, refer to Asset Management settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n RDP File Transfer Support<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the onset of the Pandemic, more organizations have shifted their workforce to a remote environment. Many of them adopt a Remote Desktop Protocol where a user connects to another device remotely using a graphical interface. Earlier, Sectona supported Secure File Transfer from one device to another only during Launcher-based RDP Sessions. Sectona now supports File Transfer Over Browser-based RDP Sessions with a comprehensive enhancement and extensive support, ensuring a seamless and enhanced experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Enhanced Security with Password Notification<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a critical parameter to gain access to organizational resources, Passwords have to be safely guarded and protected against humane errors like enforcing a simple password, using the same password for multiple resources, or sharing it with others. Prompting a weak Link exploitable by cyber attackers, these mishaps can be avoided by frequently changing the password ensuring effective Password Management<\/a>. And the user receives a notification whenever there has been a password change on his account accordingly in the following two instances:<\/p>\n\n\n\n User File Sharing Permissions<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sectona has adopted the principle of Least Privileged Access, confining the users\u2019 access to a minimum and restricting their permissions to gain access only to the required resources required for their task. Following the same principle, Sectona has added two new permissions permissible for all session types, \u201cAllow File Upload\u201d and \u201cAllow File Download\u201d, respectively, in the user access policy. An Administrator can control access permissions for a users\u2019 session by configuring the user access policy and ensuring that the user\u2019s confinement to necessary permissions only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reporting & Dashboards<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Governing access and monitoring the session activities can be a daunting task. An Intuitive and Simplified User experience created through Analytical Dashboards and Custom Reports helpful during analysis and auditing processes, which an administrator can export in an Excel or a PDF file. Adding onto the existing list of reports and Dashboards, below are a few more that\u2019ll help safeguard and secure the access Paradigm in the network infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n New System Default Additions<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n System Defaults are pre-defined values of the configurations of Application Services that define the workflow\/operability, which the user can modify. Sectona has added few improvements to the system defaults, detailed below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n AWS Token SSO using Microsoft Edge browser<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n AWS Token Based Authentication<\/a> is an encrypted and secure form of authorization, accommodating two types of users: Root user and IAM user, to work on their specific tasks. They are solely responsible for safeguarding their secrets for access to the AWS Management console. With Sectona facilitating AWS Token-Based SSO support in Built-in Browser, a new system-defined access type has been added, connecting to the Microsoft Launcher and opening AWS Token-Based SSO in Microsoft Edge Browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
