In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, the age-old battle against unauthorized access continues. At the heart of this battle lies the humble password, a mechanism that has been both a shield and a vulnerability. But what if we told you that the future might not need passwords at all? Enter Excalibur.

Welcome to Excalibur: Cyber-Security as a Service

For a decade, we at Excalibur have been at the forefront of redefining cybersecurity. Our vision is simple yet transformative: secure all your applications, services, systems, and websites through cloud-based real-time streaming. The future we envision is one without passwords, without the vulnerabilities to exploit, and without the constant need for updates. All you would need is your smartphone and a browser.

The Excalibur Advantage

Excalibur is not just a product; it’s a revolution. Here’s how we’re changing the game:

Smartphone as a Secure Token: Excalibur transforms your smartphone into a secure hardware token, addressing all your authentication and authorization needs. This means moving away from traditional password-based systems and embracing strong, user-friendly multi-factor authentication.

Dynamic Passwords: With Excalibur, passwords are automatically changed with each login. The user never even knows the password; it’s a random string used in the background, seamlessly integrated into the login process by Excalibur.

Geolocation & Biometry: Excalibur leverages precise geolocation and on-device biometry as additional layers of authentication, ensuring that only the rightful user gains access.

Streamed Access Management: Excalibur introduces “Streamed Access Management” (SAM). It’s like Privileged Access Management but for ALL access. All user activity is monitored, recorded, indexed, and fully searchable, ensuring complete transparency and accountability.

Why “Excalibur”?

Our name is inspired by the legendary sword of King Arthur. Just as only the rightful king could draw Excalibur from its stone, we believe that authentication should be frictionless for the rightful user and impossible for unauthorized entities.

A Call to Action: The Power of Privileged Access Management

In the realm of cybersecurity, Privileged Access Management (PAM) stands as a beacon of advanced protection. Traditionally, PAM has been the domain of large corporate environments, ensuring that only authorized individuals can access specific resources. But why should such a robust security measure be limited to just the big players? We believe that every organization, regardless of its size, should benefit from the power of PAM.

Benefits of PAM:

• Granular Control: PAM allows organizations to define precise access levels for each user, ensuring that individuals can only access the resources necessary for their roles.
• Audit Trails: With PAM, every action taken on a system can be logged and reviewed, providing a clear audit trail and ensuring accountability.
• Reduced Insider Threat: By limiting access to sensitive resources, PAM significantly reduces the risk of insider threats and unintentional data breaches.
• Compliance: Many industries have strict regulatory requirements around data access. PAM helps organizations stay compliant by providing clear access controls and audit capabilities.

Why Isn’t PAM Everywhere?

The answer lies in the challenges of implementation. Traditional PAM solutions are complex, requiring specialized knowledge to set up and maintain. Additionally, the costs associated with these systems can be prohibitive for smaller organizations. This has created a gap where only large corporations can afford the enhanced security that PAM provides, leaving smaller entities vulnerable.

Excalibur’s Solution:

Excalibur bridges this gap. We’ve taken the essence of PAM and combined it with passwordless multi-factor authentication to create a streamlined product that’s both powerful and user-friendly. By eliminating the complexities and reducing costs, Excalibur makes advanced cybersecurity accessible to all.
