Pathlock, an SAP partner, has launched a new release of its Application Access Governance (AAG) product within the company’s risk and compliance platform, Pathlock Cloud.

Pathlock AAG automates a majority of manual processes required to reduce the risks associated with application access across critical business systems, according to the company. It decreases the cost of compliance for organizations and provides a service solution for deep visibility insights into a wide array of applications.

With Pathlock’s latest release of AAG, users will have access to Access Risk Analysis, Compliant Provisioning, Certifications, Elevated Access Management and Role Management.

The release provides visibility across Line-of-Business (LoB) applications and harnesses automation to improve the productivity and efficiency of IT, business and audit teams in providing a risk-free environment. With AAG, controls testing costs and resource requirements are said to be significantly reduced while providing a more robust audit trail, allowing users to be onboarded and provisioned quicker while providing a more secure environment.

Piyush Pandey, CEO, Pathlock said: “This announcement is yet another step forward in achieving our vision of providing the industry’s most comprehensive application GRC platform. Our breadth of applications covered, combined with the depth of knowledge and capabilities within those applications, continue to be what sets Pathlock apart from our competition.”
