Access Without Exposure — Powered by Excalibur SAM

Traditional security models, like PAM (Privileged Access Management) and VPN solutions, are no longer enough to protect sensitive resources from constantly evolving cyber threats. While these tools have served their purpose, they still expose critical systems by allowing direct user connections to internal networks and resources. This creates vulnerabilities such as protocol exploits, lateral movement, and misconfigurations — all of which hackers can exploit to compromise a system. Excalibur SAM: Redefining Access Control

Excalibur Streamed Access Management (SAM) is a game-changer in this space, eliminating these risks by offering a radically different approach to access control. SAM provides secure, passwordless, agentless access while ensuring complete isolation between the user and the protected systems. Here's how Excalibur SAM changes the game:

No Direct Connections: With Excalibur SAM, users never connect directly to internal systems. Instead, they interact with a streamed visual representation of the resource, meaning there’s no way to compromise the underlying system directly.
No Exposed Protocols: Unlike traditional solutions, SAM doesn’t rely on exposing protocols like RDP, SSH, or others. These commonly exploited protocols are not accessible to unauthorized users, reducing the attack surface significantly.
Built-in MFA for Every Action: Every action is cryptographically tied to the user’s verified identity through passwordless multi-factor authentication (MFA). This ensures that only authorized individuals can perform high-risk actions, even if their credentials are compromised.
No Client Installation: SAM is fully client-less, meaning there’s no need to install agents or plugins on users’ devices. The solution works seamlessly with any standard browser, reducing friction and increasing ease of deployment.
Audit-Ready: All user activities are fully recorded and cryptographically signed, providing complete auditability and non-repudiation. This makes tracking and verifying actions simple and secure, which is essential for compliance and security audits.

Why Is Excalibur SAM Different?

Traditional PAM solutions often focus only on privileged users — limiting access control to high-level employees or administrators. While this is important, Excalibur SAM takes a broader, more comprehensive approach. It provides secure access to all users, not just privileged ones, while retaining all the capabilities of traditional PAM solutions.

Furthermore, Excalibur SAM is not just another VPN solution. Unlike VPNs that expose network access directly, SAM ensures that users interact with systems without actually accessing them, dramatically reducing the attack surface and making systems inaccessible to attackers — even if there are vulnerabilities on the protected resource itself.

Excalibur SAM: Built for Zero Trust

In a world where cyberattacks are becoming more sophisticated, the Zero Trust model has become crucial. With Zero Trust, no one is trusted by default — every action, no matter who initiates it, must be verified. Excalibur SAM is built with this philosophy at its core, offering robust identity and access management in a way that ensures continuous protection throughout the user session. With Excalibur SAM, you’re not just securing access — you’re eliminating the vulnerabilities that come with direct access. Secure access without exposure. For enterprises, institutions, and MSPs looking to adopt a Zero Trust approach, Excalibur SAM is the solution you need.
