Gartner defines access management (AM) as tools that include authentication, authorization, single sign-on (SSO) and adaptive access capabilities for modern standards-based web applications, classic web applications and APIs. AM’s purpose is to give people (employees, consumers and other users) and machines access to protected applications in a streamlined and consistent way that enhances the user experience. For people, SSO is part of the enhanced experience. AM is also responsible for providing security controls to protect the user session during runtime. It enforces authentication and runtime authorization using adaptive access. Lastly, AM can provide identity context for other cybersecurity tools and reliant applications to enable identity-first security.
Remote isolation software, often referred to as remote browser isolation, is a cybersecurity technology designed to protect users from potentially malicious web content. It works by isolating a user's internet browsing activities in a remote environment, typically on a cloud server, rather than on the user's local device. Typical users include financial institutions, healthcare providers, and enterprises. These organizations use this software to access email links or unknown websites in a remote environment. It allows rendering in a safe version of the user's browser, protecting against malware and preventing phishing attacks on web pages.
