In an enterprise emergency like a cyberattack or a natural disaster, retaining control over your vital systems is crucial. Bravura Privilege arms your team with the advanced PAM tools necessary for rapid and secure system management, reducing downtime and safeguarding your assets. Now, you can experience the effectiveness of our break-glass mode through an interactive video demonstration. 

The Critical Role of Privileged Access in Emergencies 

An organization's foundation can be shaken by emergencies, but a thoughtfully deployed privileged access management stands as your steadfast ally. Bravura Privilege's break-glass feature ensures that during any service interruption—be it from severe weather or a security breach—your response team has the immediate access required to counteract threats and resume normal operations. 

Immediate Access with Break-Glass Mode: See It in Action 

Envision a situation where a widespread power outage knocks out one of your data hubs. Leveraging the multi-master, high-availability features of Bravura Privilege, the emergency break-glass mode swiftly permits authorized individuals to access critical systems and data stores, thereby maintaining crucial operational functions. To see this important capability in operation, watch the video demo now. 

Best Practices for Emergency Account Passwords 

Securing Your Keys 

Similarly, the 2021 Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack underscored the necessity of secure emergency credentials. Bravura Privilege recommends applying the four-eyes principle and parceling the emergency password so that it is securely stashed in more than one location.  This ensures that more than one individual can invoke emergency mode, even amidst targeted cyber assaults. 

Audit Trails and Emergency Protocols: Upholding Operational Control 

Many incidents, including the well-known SolarWinds case of 2020, showed how crucial robust audit trails are for effective response and impact assessment. Bravura Privilege guarantees that even in emergency mode, all access is logged, and accountability is preserved, maintaining the integrity of your response and enabling thorough post-incident evaluations. 

Uninterrupted Access: Bravura Privilege's Assurance 

The 2020 downtime of a key cloud service provider illustrated the significance of solid privileged access management systems. Bravura Privilege's discrete local account feature ensures that your team retains access to essential systems, even when widespread services like Active Directory are down, thus ensuring resilience in your operations. 

Crisis situations demand rapid and secure action. The break-glass mode provided by Bravura Privilege is a vital part of a comprehensive security strategy, offering dependable access with steadfast security.
