SessionGuardian
Multi-Layer Endpoint Security for the Work-From-Anywhere World
Jordan Ellington, Founder and CEOBacked by over 25 years of industry experience, SessionGuardian has developed SessionGuardian VDI and SessionGuardian Web to establish a new industry standard for access control and authorization. They are the answer to enterprises’ growing security uncertainties in accessing sensitive information across hybrid teams and thirdparty vendors. By providing unified security across different VDI and web applications, the solution suite counters security shortcomings on managed and unmanaged devices, making them ideal for highly-regulated industries, including legal, healthcare, and finance.
“Our mission is to restore the physical security posture around users by giving enterprises a dedicated control plane where they can effortlessly provision users and set up security rules,” says Jordan Ellington, founder and CEO of SessionGuardian.
SessionGuardian VDI secures virtual machine infrastructure and integrates seamlessly with AWS, Azure, VMware and Citrix. Alternatively, SessionGuardian Web is a Chromium-based application that detects unauthorized screen sharing and restricts access to only vetted endpoints. The advanced SaaS infrastructure allows fully configurable self-service management. Dedicated technical support is available as well.
SessionGuardian’s technologies hold a natural edge in the endpoint security niche as they underpin a zero-trust approach, multi-layer protocols, and continuous facial authentication. This combination of state-of-the-art features outfits organizations with a strong defense against data theft, whether employee oversight or intended usage. For instance, its persistent facial authentication feature blurs users’ screens when an unauthorize human activities like shouldersurfing or a person using mobile devices to take pictures, as well as malware taking screenshots and preempts screen sharing in unprotected systems.
With no leeway for information leakage, organizations using SessionGuardian VDI and SessionGuardian Web gain the ancillary benefit of boosting employee retention as the solution suite adds layers of protection at the end-user level. This ensures enterprises can thrive in today’s work-from-anywhere world.
Since SessionGuardian caters to highly regulated industries where user privacy takes precedence, its solutions never record or transmit user visuals. It also provides text-based audit trails that allow organizations to demonstrate their compliance, and the information collected is used only within its actual context and not shared with anyone.
Clients can set up a secure environment for their employees in an extremely narrow timeframe. SessionGuardian follows a standard enterprise rollout model for onboarding clients. It offers an initial architecture review and a demo/workshop to help users understand how the solution functions. With the recommended settings in place, organizations can get the solution up and running within a week.
