Syteca — control privileged access and detect identity threats in one place. Syteca is a PAM platform built from the ground up with identity threat detection and response (ITDR) capabilities. Instead of bolting on monitoring after the fact, Syteca was designed monitoring-first: every privileged session is visible, recorded, and auditable from the start. The platform covers the full privileged access lifecycle — account discovery, credential vaulting, just-in-time access provisioning, MFA, and manual approval workflows. What sets it apart is what happens after access is granted: continuous session monitoring, risk detection during active sessions, and automated response actions (block the user, terminate the session, kill the process). Syteca works across Windows, macOS, and Linux, and supports on-premises, cloud, and hybrid deployments. Trusted by 1,500+ organizations in 70+ countries. Recognized by Gartner and KuppingerCole.
