Cyber-Ark’s New Privileged Identity Management Suite Delivers Complete Security and Audit Control for Organizations’ Most Powerful Users

April 2010 by Marc Jacob

Cyber-Ark announced availability of its Privileged Identity Management (PIM)
Suite version 6. With the addition of the new On-Demand Privileges
Manager product as part of the integrated Cyber-Ark Suite, global organizations benefit from the most advanced, proven solution for uniformly managing security policies, compliance, reporting and administration for all privileged
users and accounts from a common user interface.

Cyber-Ark’s new On-Demand Privileges Manager enables organizations to implement an effective "least privilege" policy and reduce existing insider vulnerabilities by
provisioning superusers’ rights on an as-needed basis, at the individual command
level. By granularly delegating access to superuser privileges, such as those used
by Unix/Linux administrators and root users, organizations can manage and secure
privileged access and individual command execution. In addition, the On-Demand
Privileges Manager records this detailed command level activity in order to better
track session activity for security, auditing and forensic purposes.

The On-Demand Privileges Manager also allows for the replacement of siloed, commonly used SUDO solutions that lack the manageability, advanced reporting and security capabilities necessary to meet enterprise audit and compliance requirements.

Cyber-Ark’s PIM Suite v6, with the new On-Demand Privileges Manager, empowers IT by providing a single access point and easy-to-use web interface for complete
visibility and control of superusers and privileged accounts<http://www.cyber-ark.com/digital-va...>
across the enterprise.

A Future-Ready Solution: Holistic Security Management, Auto-Discovery Benefits
Cyber-Ark’s PIM Suite is a full life cycle solution for centrally managing an
organization’s privileged accounts, users and sessions as well as embedded passwords found in applications and scripts. The Suite is an enterprise-class, unified policy-based solution that secures, manages and monitors all privileged accounts, users and activities associated with datacenter management whether on-premise, at a hosting provider or in the cloud.

With its new, sixth generation Suite, Cyber-Ark delivers an advanced auto-discovery
solution for automating the detection process of all forms of privileged accounts,
including the service accounts commonly associated with Windows Services found on
Windows servers, workstations and desktops, as well as Scheduled Tasks, COM+ objects
and IIS application pools. Cyber-Ark proactively adds in these "discovered"
accounts, as well as any new devices and systems as they are commissioned, and
delivers valuable audit information about which of these privileged accounts are
actively being managed by the PIM solution, or are currently "un-managed" and
therefore non-compliant.

Organizations using this PIM Suite also benefit from a new and improved,
customizable central reporting engine that supports the delivery of scheduled
reports, based on policy. By providing a seamlessly integrated Suite of solutions
for the holistic privileged challenge, Cyber-Ark enables organizations to manage and
audit their privileged users, accounts and sessions from a single solution.
Ultimately, this new Suite delivers a reduced total cost of ownership by eliminating
the need for companies to invest in two separate solutions - one for superusers and
one for shared accounts. With a single solution and common user interface across
all products in the Suite, organizations benefit from ease-of-implementation,
ease-of-adoption and inherent ease-of-use capabilities.
On-Demand Privileges Manager for 360-Degree Visibility and Control
Cyber-Ark’s On-Demand Privileges Manager combines superior security technology with
advanced monitoring and reporting tools for managing superusers and privileged
accounts for 360-degree visibility and control across the enterprise. Key benefits
include:

* Elimination of Insider Threats Through Granular Access Control: By
delegating root and other superuser permissions in order to execute specific
commands on-demand, organizations can better protect their most sensitive IT assets
by granting superusers only the permissions to the specific commands they are
entitled to run, therefore reducing the risk of exposure to abuse or error.

* Compliance Through Personalized Auditing and Recording: Being able to link
a root account and activity with a personal user name is a central requirement for
effective auditing. On-Demand Privileges Manager ensures every user is accountable
for his own actions; privileged session text recording makes certain that all
commands and their output are recorded and securely stored in Cyber-Ark’s Digital
Vault.

* Increase Productivity and Efficiency: Granular access control and activity
recording capabilities enable organizations to significantly reduce the possibility
for human error, increase uptime and manageability of critical systems, and solve
operational complexities associated with systems that can be accessed by multiple
administrators.
