By: Andrea IPOLYI “Controlling who can access powerful privileged accounts and tracking the actions taken by users with privileged access are both crucial elements of a secure and compliant enterprise,” “BalaBit created a new product category when it announced the very first activity monitoring solution in 2006, and today we are one of the technology leaders in this niche market,” said Zoltán Györkő, Business Development Director at BalaBit IT Security. “Our latest Shell Control Box 3 F2, together with Lieberman Software’s industry-leading Enterprise Random Password Management, provides best-of-breed technologies in both product categories, without compromising on either. With this joint solution companies can meet regulatory compliance requirements more easily than with any other monitoring and control solution.” SCB is an activity monitoring appliance that controls access to remote servers, virtual desktops and networking devices, and records the activities of the users accessing those systems. It can produce indexed movie-like records and audit trails of actions performed with privileged access for fast and cost-effective IT forensics. ERPM automatically locates every privileged account in the enterprise, frequently changes each account’s password to a unique and complex value, and deploys the password changes wherever they are used in the data center. It provides the accountability of showing precisely who on the IT staff had access to sensitive data, at what time and for what stated purpose. The ERPM-SCB integration protects the confidentiality of privileged account passwords by preventing their sharing and reuse. When integrated, these products provide centralized, automatic management of privileged account passwords, fine-grained access control of privileged accounts, and independent monitoring of each privileged access with customizable reporting capabilities. ERPM and SCB work together without changing server and client resources and without limiting the way that IT staff normally performs daily tasks. Users are authenticated by SCB and credentials for accessing systems are retrieved transparently through ERPM. Key benefits of the Lieberman Software – BalaBit IT Security integration: • Simplified password management and improved access control on remote servers • Sharing of privileged user passwords for server administration is eliminated • More secure access without changing how users perform their everyday work • Users can utilize special capabilities (like file-transfer, remote printing, etc.) of remote access protocols such as RDP, SSH and others if authorized • Central automatic management of passwords, fine-grained access control and independent audit-proof access monitoring with customizable reports Supporting Resources • Figure: • More information about Shell Control Box and Enterprise Random Password Management integration • What is BalaBit’s Shell Control Box good for? – video • About BalaBit’s Shell Control Box 3 F2 Administrator Guide • About Lieberman’s Enterprise Password Management About Lieberman Software Corporation Lieberman Software provides privileged identity management and security management solutions to more than 1000 customers worldwide, including 40 percent of the Fortune 50.
