Newest Release of ActiveBatch Focuses on Cybersecurity in the IT Automation Environment; Introduces Privileged Access Management Integration and More

Attacks on digital systems have become smarter and data breaches more sophisticated. As a result, cybersecurity has gained considerable traction within business, political, educational, and other fields. Advanced Systems Concepts, Inc. (ASCI), recognizing the importance of system security, today announced the release of new security enhancements for its industry-leading IT Automation solution, ActiveBatch.

According to Gartner research, 70% of organizations will implement privileged access management (PAM) practices for all use cases in the enterprise by 2022 (Kelley and Gaehtgens, Best Practices for Privileged Access Management). The newest release of ActiveBatch adapts to evolving cybersecurity requirements by introducing Privileged Access Management integration that dynamically and securely retrieves credentials required for ActiveBatch workflows. This integration reinforces ActiveBatch’s commitment to secure automation and its low-code/no-code approach to development and operations.

In addition to Privileged Access Management capabilities, ActiveBatch now includes multi-factor authentication (MFA) across all of its interfaces including ActiveBatch Console, ActiveBatch Web Console, ActiveBatch Self-Service Portal, and ActiveBatch Mobile Ops, and security enhancements around ActiveBatch Exports, further safeguarding sensitive information for ActiveBatch customers.

“Growing numbers of cyberthreats have driven organizations to take novel approaches to adopting security solutions,” says Ben Rosenberg, President of Advanced Systems Concepts, Inc. “The latest release of ActiveBatch is designed to help users more seamlessly adapt and integrate these security solutions into their automated processes. By simplifying credential management and extending greater security capabilities to the IT Automation environment, ASCI continues to lead in building enterprise automation software with a strong focus on security and compliance.”
