Why Zero Trust?

Zero Trust is a cybersecurity framework that requires verification at every access point. Our platform enforces least privilege access, ensuring users only have the access they need when they need it. With CyberQP, you can reduce attack surfaces, prevent ransomware, and mitigate credential theft.

CyberQP’s Zero Trust approach eliminates standing privileges by offering secure, time-limited technician access through QGuard and precise end-user elevation and management with QDesk.

QGuard provides a comprehensive Privileged Access Management
(PAM) platform designed to eliminate standing privileges and
reduce attack surfaces and streamline access. Technicians are
granted just-in-time access without the need for standing privilege
and credentials for necessary break glass or shared accounts are
automatically rotated to prevent static credentials.

 

Secure your privileged accounts with confidence using QGuard.

QDesk streamlines end-user elevation, identity verification,
password resets, and account management into one powerful
platform. Eliminate standing privileges, verify identities instantly,
and empower users to resolve issues on their own—while IT
handles account tasks effortlessly within their ticketing system.
QDesk boosts security and productivity, transforming your
helpdesk into a seamless, secure experience.

 

QDesk provides secure, efficient, and compliant end-user access management.
