It shows a vendor user initiating access, which is then authenticated, authorized, and audited by the Agilicus platform, ensuring granular control and visibility over privileged access for third-party vendors.](https://www.agilicus.com/www/2bc547e4- user-flow-diagram-01.svg) ## The Right Level of Access for the Right Users at the Right Time Granular and fine-grained authorisation puts your organisation in control of who is accessing your resources so that you can protect your business. Third party vendors gain access to your organisation from behind the firewall. The right approach to vendor access and privilege management can not only protect your organisation from inherited risk, it can also streamline how your third party vendors support your organisation.

Unfortunately, vendors also happen to be a common target for cyber criminals. When you trust your business to a third party, you may be getting significant value, but you are also inheriting their cyber risk. You can’t simply drop vendors and third parties. Their services are vital to your business. Instead, Vendor Privileged Access Management can put your organisation in control and ensure your teams have complete visibility of who is accessing your organisation, what they are doing, and when. Secure your organisation against third party vendor risk and bolster your cyber posture with Vendor Privileged Access Management. Security researchers and experts [estimate](https://www.ponemon.org/research/ponemon-library/) that 50% of all cyber breaches are due to third party vendors. ## What is Vendor Privileged Access Management? [⌊federated-identity⌉⌊federated-identity⌉[ Vendors often need access to sensitive systems that they do not own but are critical for performing services and support to an organisation. Vendor Privileged Access Management (VPAM) ensures organisations have complete control and visibility over vendor access and activity without disrupting business. Control per person, not per company. Control on a per endpoint basis, not “the VPN is there to use” Add your policies like multi-factor authentication or geographic location. Have an audit trail of who did accessed what, when, from where. ## Secure Access for Third Parties, Contractors, and Vendors Simplify the process of providing least privilege access to authorised third party, non-employees and keep track of what your vendors are doing while they access your systems. [⌊cloud-native-security⌉⌊cloud-native-security⌉[ [⌊identity-single-sign-on⌉⌊identity-single-sign-on⌉[ **Enable Single Sign-On** and **Federate Identity** to easily integrate with native identity providers or adopt social logins such as Gmail IDs and extend secure access to internal and external users. That means no new user names, passwords or active directory licences. [⌊role-based-access-controls⌉⌊role-based-access-controls⌉[ **Simplified User Management** and **Role-Based Access Controls** allow administrators to grant least privilege access to users, ensuring they only have access to the files and resources they need.
