Thycotic, a provider of privileged access management solutions for more than 7,500 organizations worldwide, announced that it has entered into an original equipment manufacturing (OEM) agreement with IBM Security. As part of this agreement,†IBM†Security will now offer a new privileged access management solution, IBM Security Secret Server, powered by Thycotic’s technology.

With more than 80 percent of cybersecurity breaches involving compromised user passwords and credentials, Thycotic Secret Server delivers an enterprise-class solution that provides the security, transparency, and accountability organizations need to protect these privileged accounts and their users engaged in their daily business operations.
The Thycotic Privileged Access Management technology platform offers several unique competitive advantages, including:
