Problem
Organizations face challenges in managing access to production infrastructure, leading to over-provisioned access, manual ticketing processes, and increased security risks. Traditional methods often lack context-based controls and comprehensive audit trails, hindering compliance efforts and creating bottlenecks for engineering teams.
Solution
Sym provides a security workflow platform that automates access management and compliance by integrating with existing infrastructure tools like AWS IAM and Terraform. The platform enables organizations to implement intelligent, context-based access controls, ensuring that users have the appropriate level of access only when needed. By replacing manual ticketing queues with automated workflows and providing a complete audit trail of access events, Sym streamlines operations, reduces security risks, and simplifies compliance reporting. The platform's SDK allows for customization of access flows and integration with internal platform stacks, enabling centralized governance through the organization's existing SDLC.
Target Audience
Sym primarily targets platform, security, and infrastructure teams seeking to reduce default access, achieve compliance, protect customer data, and streamline access management workflows for engineering teams.
