Xceedium®, Inc., the premier provider of privileged identity management for enterprise environments, today announced it has been issued its third patent covering core privileged identity management technologies. U.S. Patent 8,819,763 protects a system for granting administrative users selective access to managed systems based on fine-grained, dynamic access policies. Policies can be drawn from multiple resources such as corporate directories, including Active Directory and LDAP; change management data bases (CMDBs); provisioning systems and trouble-ticketing systems.

The patented system automatically determines the appropriate grant of administrative access in response to user access requests, as well as in response to external triggers such as the creation of a trouble ticket. The patent also describes methods of mediating conflicts between policy sources.
