Sym Launches Dynamic Authorization Platform for Establishing Zero Trust

According to a new press release, Sym, a prominent player in the just-in-time access management realm, has unveiled its dynamic authorization platform. This platform, an extension of their existing Slack app and SDK for platform engineers, empowers security teams to efficiently manage dynamic authorization throughout their entire organization. Given the rising importance of secure access management, with data breaches costing a record-high average of $9.48 million in the U.S. in 2023 and 49% of breaches involving stolen credentials, Sym’s platform addresses critical security concerns. It offers custom rules for temporary, auditable access, streamlining access management and reducing human error. Moreover, Sym’s platform bridges gaps between teams, tools, and approval processes, enhancing overall access security.

Sym’s dynamic authorization platform introduces several key features, including a web application for centralized access management and audit, intelligent context-based access controls, and deep security partnerships and integrations with AWS, Hashicorp, Vanta, and Datadog. This platform enhances access control, simplifies reporting and analysis, and streamlines access management ticket queues. It provides a programmable connection between various elements of infrastructure and security, bridging gaps in existing Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) and Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) solutions. Sym’s platform represents a crucial step in implementing a zero-trust security model.

Sym’s dynamic authorization platform offers security teams the tools they need to address the growing threat landscape and enhance access security, making it a valuable addition to the arsenal of modern organizations seeking to bolster their security posture.
