Understanding Securden

Securden makes privileged access and identity security software for organisations that want to control admin rights, shared passwords, third-party access and machine credentials without a heavyweight deployment.

The Unified Identity Security Platform covers people, machines and AI agents from one place. Customers can run it on premises, self-hosted or as SaaS.

What Securden Does

Many organisations still keep admin passwords in spreadsheets, leave local admin rights on every workstation and give contractors standing VPN access. Securden targets those gaps, with simplicity and affordability as its stated priorities. Each problem has a dedicated product, and Unified PAM packages them as one privileged access suite for buyers who want everything at once. Standalone products remain available for teams that only need, for example, an enterprise password vault. In 2026 the platform grew to cover AI agents, giving one control plane over the access and actions of humans, machines and agents.

Products

Unified PAM

Unified PAM is the full privileged access package: password vault, endpoint privilege management, vendor access, remote sessions, non-human identity management and cloud entitlement management in one licence. A version for managed service providers, Unified PAM for MSPs, lets MSPs run it across their clients.

Password Vault For Enterprises

The vault centralises shared and privileged credentials so that IT teams stop passing passwords around in documents and chat. It is sold standalone as well as inside Unified PAM.

Endpoint Privilege Manager

Endpoint Privilege Manager takes away standing admin rights on workstations and servers while still letting users run the applications they need, enforcing least privilege without flooding the help desk.

Vendor Access Management

External contractors and suppliers get just-in-time access that expires on schedule, so third parties never hold permanent credentials to internal systems.

Machine & AI Identity Manager

This product handles non-human identities. It discovers machine identities, maps what each one can reach and who owns it, vaults and rotates secrets, and removes hardcoded secrets from code, CI/CD pipelines, configuration files and automation scripts.

Other Modules

  • Cloud Infrastructure & Entitlements Management to remove excess cloud permissions
  • Identity Governance & Administration, Self-Service Password Reset, MFA & Single Sign-On, and Analytics & Risk Intelligence

How It Works

ComponentWhat it does
Deployment optionsThe platform runs on premises, self-hosted or as SaaS, and customers can change model later.
Relationship graphThe Machine & AI Identity Manager keeps a continuously updated graph of identities, access paths and dependencies, which drives ownership mapping and risk analysis.
Remote accessSecure Remote Access gives administrators controlled access to internal systems without a VPN, and third-party sessions can be recorded in full.
Lifecycle automationCreation, rotation and retirement of non-human identities run through connections to identity, DevOps and infrastructure-as-code tooling.

Identities And Systems Covered

Human privileged usersAdministrators, endpoint users and external vendors
Service accountsApplication, operating system and database service accounts running background processes
WorkloadsKubernetes service accounts, containers and serverless functions
Secrets and keysAPI keys, access tokens, OAuth credentials and SSH keys
CertificatesDigital certificates used for encryption and authentication
AI agentsAlongside IAM roles, managed identities, bots and microservices

Agentic AI Capabilities

AI Security & Governance

A module of the platform, AI Security & Governance discovers AI agents and controls them at runtime.

  • Discovery of AI use and control of shadow AI across endpoints, cloud and SaaS apps
  • Runtime enforcement that blocks risky actions, API calls or database queries
  • A data filtering gateway that inspects data before it reaches AI models
  • Least privilege access for agents, limited in scope and duration
  • Continuous AI red teaming that simulates attacks such as prompt injection
