Thycotic Partners with Secu A/S to Provide Privileged Account Security in the Norwegian Market

IT Security Vendor Selects Danish Technology Reseller to Assist Enterprise Class Customers in Managing Privileged Account Passwords in Norway

Thycotic, a maker of smart and effective privileged account management solutions for global organizations, today announced the expansion of its partner network presence in Scandinavia through their new commercial partnership with Secu A/S, a value-added reseller of enterprise technology and security solutions. Secu A/S specializes in traditional IT security solutions with a focus on next-generation IT security. With Thycotic Secret Server, Secu A/S customers can better monitor, control and audit passwords on highly sensitive privileged accounts, such as service accounts, local administrator accounts and domain administrator accounts. This new partnership helps bring Thycotic security solutions to a growing Privileged Account Management (PAM) market in Scandinavia in an effort to help major customers reach and maintain strict auditing compliance mandates.

"We are very excited to work with Thycotic," says Anders Heisel, Sales Director at Secu A/S. "We have been working with Privileged Password Management software for more than 8 years, and find Thycotic to be the most straightforward, without compromising compliance."

The security pains for both prospects and customers remains consistent in Norway. Manually changing passwords on service accounts creates a burden for IT. A lack of privileged account control for external parties, such as contractors, is viewed as a major area of exposure. With Thycotic Secret Server, companies can now discover service accounts across their entire infrastructure and change passwords automatically to remove the burden of manual password changing. Thycotic can also enforce strict auditing and control for third-party contractors by forcing request for access and check in/check out capabilities to ensure the privileged password is rotated automatically after use. The solution is also swift to deploy while remaining secure for the customer.

"The implementations we have done so far have been a success and have fulfilled the requirements of our customers, both in terms of compliance and the level of increased security," notes Heisel.

Thycotic capabilities such as RDP launchers and session proxy allow infrastructure an easier way to access the systems and data they need to perform their duties while strengthening security without compromising daily workflow.

"We are thrilled to call Secu A/S a partner in Scandinavia," says Jonathan Cogley, founder and CEO of Thycotic. "Secu A/S has a proven track record across Denmark and beyond and we look forward to working together to present a joint PAM solution that meets the security needs of Danish organizations, regardless of the vertical."
