Problem
Organizations struggle to manage and audit access to production infrastructure, leading to over-provisioned access, increased security risks, and compliance challenges. Manual access request workflows create bottlenecks, slow down engineering teams, and lack the visibility needed for effective security monitoring and incident response.
Solution
Sym provides a security workflow platform that enables engineering teams to implement just-in-time (JIT) access controls and automate compliance workflows. The platform allows organizations to define access policies as code, integrate with existing infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform, and streamline access request approvals through tools like Slack. By automating the granting and revocation of access based on context and pre-defined rules, Sym helps reduce the risk of over-provisioned access, simplifies audit trails, and accelerates incident response. The platform's centralized governance and logging capabilities provide a comprehensive view of access activities, facilitating compliance with standards like SOC 2 and Zero Trust security principles.
Target Audience
Sym primarily targets security, infrastructure, and platform engineering teams responsible for managing access to production environments in organizations with complex infrastructure and compliance requirements.
