Cyber-Ark Expands RSA Secured Partner Program Certification Status
March 2010 by Marc Jacob
Cyber-Ark® Software announced it has expanded the company’s RSA Secured® Partner status, certifying interoperability between Cyber-Ark’s Privileged Identity Management Suite, Inter-Business Vault® and Sensitive Document Vault™ with the RSA enVision® platform. This collaboration with the RSA Security Division of EMC further expands Cyber-Ark’s leadership position through the power of privileged identity control alongside collection, alerting and analysis of log data for security information and event management (SIEM) – providing joint customers with greater control over powerful privileged accounts.
The management of IT and administrative accounts has come under increased scrutiny by auditors, compliance and risk officers at highly regulated organizations. These powerful, privileged accounts are often the most compromised at the beginning of the fraud chain and used for malevolent purposes – providing wide ranging access to critical information and applications. Through its interoperability partnership with RSA, Cyber-Ark is providing customers with a greater ability to control, monitor and audit access to sensitive data and systems by these shared accounts.
Cyber-Ark’s Privileged Identity Management Suite allows organizations to secure, audit, control and manage privileged identities - those shared and administrative accounts found in servers, firewalls, databases, routers and workstations, including clear-text application identities embedded in scripts, configuration files and applications. Through its ability to interoperate with both the RSA enVision platform and RSA SecurID system, joint customers can now:
· Personalize and log all access to shared administrative accounts, helping in SIEM-based analysis and forensic processes;
· Enforce strong authentication via RSA SecurID when insiders or partners need to access both privileged accounts or highly-sensitive information;
· Forward anomaly alerts and notifications whenever employees or partners access highly sensitive information stored in the Cyber-Ark Digital Vault.
