Making Enterprise PAM Accessible to Mid-Sized Organizations
Privileged access has long been a weak point in enterprise security. These accounts often hold the keys to critical infrastructure, making them a primary target for attackers. Yet the tools designed to secure them, like PAM Platforms, have traditionally been complex to deploy, costly to maintain, and reliant on hard-to-find talent. Many mid-sized organizations lack the resources or bandwidth to implement them effectively.KeyData Cyber’s new PAM-as-a-Service (PAMaaS) aims to remove those barriers. Delivered as a subscription, it brings together CyberArk’s proven PAM technology with KeyData’s managed services and operational oversight. Instead of buying software licenses, hiring dedicated engineers, and maintaining infrastructure, organizations can consume PAM as an all-in-one managed offering.Todd Musselman, Managing Director at KeyData Cyber, told MSSP Alert that the goal is to make enterprise-grade privileged access protection both achievable and affordable.“KeyData’s PAMaaS bundles CyberArk licensing, implementation, and ongoing operations into a single, fixed monthly subscription - removing large upfront capex, ad-hoc SOW overruns, and reducing procurement cycles,” said Musselman. “Customers can begin to see value in six to twelve weeks and save up to 50% compared to traditional models, while getting certified CyberArk expertise and structured SLAs. The result is faster ROI, lower cost of ownership, and enterprise-grade controls without having to hire niche PAM resources.”
“KeyData provides design, deployment, and daily operations as one package - priority access to expert engineers, predictable pricing, and packaged tiers aligned to privileged access use cases across network, database, applications, and cloud,” he explained. “As a long-term CyberArk integrator, we bring extensive experience and accelerators based on best practices, improving deployment time while ensuring stable, compliant security. That directly supports CyberArk’s broader mission to secure identities everywhere.”
Future-Ready PAM for a New Era of Identity Threats
As identity threats evolve, PAMaaS is also designed to stay resilient against emerging risks, including AI-driven attacks, misuse of service accounts, and the rise of machine identities. Musselman said the service is built with continuous security and compliance at its core.“Our PAMaaS is delivered under SOC 2–aligned processes with encryption, MFA, continuous monitoring, and full auditability,” Musselman noted. “The roadmap emphasizes continuous discovery, risk-based onboarding, and Identity Security Intelligence to detect drift and anomalous behavior across human and non-human identities. We also work closely with CyberArk through its Partner Advisory Board, providing field feedback on evolving threats and contributing to product development.”
“MSSPs can bundle or resell KeyData Cyber’s PAM-as-a-Service to deliver privileged security without building a PAM practice from scratch,” Musselman said. “We handle design, deployment, and operations with certified experts and SLAs, so partners can expand offerings, strengthen client compliance, and add measurable security value, without the overhead of hiring or managing new tools.”
