CyberFOX Alternatives for MSPs (2026)

What CyberFOX sells

CyberFOX lists five platforms: AutoElevate for privileged access, Password Manager, DNS Filtering, a SASE product from its June 2026 acquisition of Timus Networks, and Microsoft 365 security management from its October 2026 acquisition of Optimize365, which covers Microsoft 365 tenant security baseline standardization and user security posture. This page covers the first two and mentions Optimize365 where it overlaps. DNS filtering, SASE and Microsoft 365 configuration are separate buying decisions.

What the AutoElevate and Password Manager pair covers, phase by phase

Zero standing privilege takes eight phases, set out in zero standing privilege: the PAM journey for MSPs. From CyberFOX's own documentation:

Discover and assess: AutoElevate works with local admin rights on the machines running its agent, and the Agent Changelog lists Admin Members data for enrolled workstations. The changelog also mentions cloud domain admin members in the computer state report, but we didn't find a discovery feature for domain, service or non-human identities. Optimize365, a separate CyberFOX product, reviews Microsoft 365 users and app registrations and offers one-click remediation, so it partly overlaps with discovery and remediation for Entra. Its public pages don't describe privileged-identity discovery.
Remediate: removes the signed-in user from the local Administrators group on Windows, applied globally or by company, location or computer (CyberFOX KB, remove admin). It's scoped to the endpoint. On Mac, removing admin privileges is listed as still in progress.
Vault: Password Manager is a separate, multi-tenant, end-to-end encrypted password vault with an MSP portal and per-customer encryption keys, purchased separately.
Rotate: AutoElevate rotates only its own elevation account (CyberFOX KB, Elevation Types) and JIT accounts. We found no support for customer-created privileged accounts, and no rotation in Password Manager's documentation.
MFA and secure access: Biometric MFA in the Notify mobile app authorizes JIT login to Windows endpoints through temporary admin accounts that AutoElevate creates, with AD domain login in beta. Existing AD, local Windows and macOS accounts aren't brokered, so they stay outside MFA. Console access requires AutoElevate 2FA, or SSO with MFA. Password Manager has 2FA and role-based access for vault users, but it doesn't broker technician access to endpoints or privileged accounts.
Just-in-time access: Just in Time accounts are offered as only temporary one time use accounts for Local Administrator and Active Directory administration. JIT accounts are deleted after every use. There is no current support listed in their documentation for Entra ID or Google Workspace.
Audit: elevation logs scoped to the endpoint, with PSA tickets and time entries for elevation requests, and session history in the portal. Password Manager has an optional Password Auditing policy, off by default and available on Advanced or Trial subscriptions, that logs when passwords in a user's business profile are viewed, copied, used or changed. We didn't find alerting on privileged accounts outside the vault in their documentation.
Endpoint privilege management: AutoElevate's strongest phase. Rules by machine, location, company or across customers, mobile approvals, and Blocker on Windows. On macOS, rule-based application elevation is a beta feature, available only on the beta agent update channel, and rule enforcement needs macOS 14.7 or later.

Pricing for both is quoted, not published, and CyberFOX offers a 14-day free trial.

One PAM platform instead of two products

CyberQP Panthera

A PAM platform built for MSPs that covers all eight phases in one product, including endpoint elevation:

Discovery and remediation: continuously finds every privileged identity, from admin accounts to end users with hidden admin rights, service accounts, AI agents and break-glass accounts. It acts on what discovery finds from the same platform, across the privileged and service accounts in a client, not only the local admins on a workstation: it removes accounts from privileged groups, disables them at the source or deletes them. Discovery is free.
Vault and rotation: credentials, API keys and tokens sit in a zero-knowledge vault that CyberQP can't read, because CyberQP doesn't hold the encryption keys. Only authorized technicians can reach each credential, and access is audited. Panthera rotates shared, break-glass and service-account credentials on a schedule or on demand, for example when a technician leaves, across local, Active Directory, Entra ID, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, and the vault stays zero-knowledge through every rotation.
MFA and secure access enforcement: passwordless technician login to Windows endpoints, and every privileged identity brokered through CyberQP behind mandatory MFA, at CyberQP sign-in or through the technician's SSO provider. That extends MFA to Active Directory, local Windows and macOS accounts.
Just-in-time access: dedicated technician accounts, disabled with no privilege by default, given the least privilege the task needs, then disabled again when time expires. Policies can be unique per technician, a one-time use burner account or a shared account, with durations from 1 hour to 30 days. Support is included for Active Directory, local Windows accounts, macOS, Entra ID and Google Workspace.
Auditing: access is audited and privileged account usage is logged, with alerts on privileged account changes, rotations and lockouts, and the privileged-access evidence your auditors and insurers ask for.
Endpoint elevation: removes standing local admin; requests to elevate a specific application go to a technician or are approved by rules you create, and applications you don't allow are blocked, on Windows.
Integrations: ConnectWise PSA, with Autotask and HaloPSA coming; NinjaOne, Intune and Group Policy for deployment.

Where CyberFOX is ahead: Mac elevation, more PSA and RMM integrations, and PSA time entries. Panthera pricing is on request, and the free trial runs 30 days in your own tenants with no credit card. The side-by-side is at Panthera vs CyberFOX.

Frequently asked questions

What does CyberFOX do?

CyberFOX sells security products to MSPs and IT teams: AutoElevate for privileged access and endpoint elevation, Password Manager, DNS Filtering, SASE from its Timus Networks acquisition, and Optimize365 for Microsoft 365 tenant security, from its Optimize365 acquisition.

Is CyberFOX Password Manager a PAM tool?

CyberFOX describes it as a multi-tenant password management solution. We didn't find credential rotation or privileged account discovery in its documentation. Rotation is the part of PAM that stops a stored admin password staying valid for months.

Does CyberFOX rotate passwords?

Only in part. AutoElevate rotates its own elevation account and JIT accounts, and we found no support for customer-created privileged accounts. We didn't find rotation in Password Manager's documentation.

Can one product replace both AutoElevate and Password Manager?

Yes. A PAM platform with a vault, rotation and endpoint elevation covers both jobs, and CyberQP's Panthera includes all three. Panthera's endpoint elevation runs on Windows today, so if you elevate on Mac in AutoElevate, check that first.
