SolarWinds Access Rights Manager

The objective of access control is to reduce the risk of unauthorized access to files, data, and systems.

Access control is therefore an important component of an organization’s security policy and effective management is required to achieve compliance.

Access control tasks can be burdensome, resulting in insecure accounts, errors, and a lack of audit documentation.

SolarWinds® Access Rights Manager (ARM) is designed to assist IT and security admins to understand and act on high-risk access and minimize the impact of insider threats.
