security posture for enterprises, allowing them to secure, manage
and monitor all privileged accounts and activities associated with
data center management, whether on-premise or in the cloud."
"Teaming with Cyber-Ark Software, the privileged identity

Privilege Guard allows users to log on with minimal rights and
empowers them to perform their day-to-day role, without
compromising the integrity and security of the corporate
systems.
