ManageEngine Access Manager Plus is a secure remote access solution built to take care of administrative access to remote endpoints and other critical IT systems. The solution's gateway server routes all remote connections through an encrypted channel, protecting enterprise networks from malware and cybercrime.
Through robust authentication, granular controls, and session management capabilities, Access Manager Plus minimizes deliberate and unintentional access misuse risks while also letting enterprises choose and design a utilitarian remote access strategy.
Accessing data center resources through direct RDP or SSH connections is prohibited due to network segmentation and other security reasons. Authorized users usually have to hop through multiple jump servers before ultimately connecting to the target devices located in a dissimilar security zone. This practice requires manual authentication at every jump server setup, introducing loopholes from a security perspective.
With Access Manager Plus, administrators can consolidate all remote device credentials centrally and map them to the respective jump servers. This facilitates smooth, one-click access to remote resources, while the jump server authentication is automatically executed in the background.
Access Manager Plus allows administrators to access and manage remote Windows systems through encrypted RDP channels instantly without configuring complex rules or firewall changes. This approach secures and cloaks the Windows devices from other networks, enabling a secure networking environment.
Windows administrators can also enforce users to connect to only specific Windows applications configured as RemoteApps in the target systems instead of all the applications and protocols in the underlying network, which the user may not be entitled to. It limits a user’s ability to move laterally within a network, which can be a major threat to modern enterprises.
System and network administrators use SSH to manage users and processes, access remote systems, and transfer files over the internet. Since SSH is usually used with elevated privileges and provides an encrypted session, malicious users can easily escalate their access inside a network and pose significant risks by leveraging the obscurity of their actions.
Access Manager Plus provides password-less authentication and auto-logon for SSH-based systems, securing your network from brute-force and other password cracking attacks. Along with strong two-factor authentication and role-based access controls, it provides central oversight and control of SSH-based remote access, minimizing unauthorized access risks.
Databases can be subject to denial-of-service attacks and other security vulnerabilities that can be exploited by anyone over the internet. Since databases consist of sensitive information, securing your SQL server instances and databases from unauthorized access is mandatory.
Access Manager Plus enables you to isolate and manage your SQL servers, limit database access to the few authorized users, and establish one-click, encrypted connections to your SQL instances. It also provides comprehensive auditing and session recording of database activities. In case of data loss, Access Manager Plus supports database backups in encrypted files along with data recovery mechanisms.
There are numerous risks that can arise from an organization’s increasing reliance on third-party users to perform various internal IT tasks. If poorly managed, these external users may increase the chances of cyberattacks, compliance violations, and reputational losses.
Access Manager Plus lets you add third-party users into the system and create custom roles for them with just the required permissions. You can enable time-bound access for them to conduct their tasks without the need for supplying passwords. Granular access controls, activity logging, and comprehensive monitoring helps IT teams detect traces of malicious behavior and instantly adopt remediation measures.
