Privileged access platforms commonly focus on vaulting, approving, and monitoring high-impact accounts. CerberusD evaluates the same operational concerns through a resource, assignment, controlled session, revocation, and evidence flow for existing computers and work surfaces.

Operating-model difference

  • Identity and access: A privileged-access product may center on accounts and policy; CerberusD evaluates a decision with person, workspace, resource, assignment, readiness, and session policy.
  • Credential custody: A target credential can be used through a controlled work surface without exposing it to the operator; detailed custody remains deployment-dependent.
  • Session and closure: The work surface opens, closes, or is revoked, while decision and lifecycle records remain available for review.
