BeyondTrust 2015 Winner GSN 2015 DIGITAL YEARBOOK OF HOMELAND SECURITY AWARDS RECIPIENTS IT Security Products and Solutions Awards Category: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Best Privileged Access Management Solution Name of Nominated Product, Service, or Program: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– PowerBroker for Unix & Linux Reason this entry deserves to win: –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Whether the goal for attackers is to compromise sensitive government data, steal personally identifiable information (PII) or disrupt normal operations, the increasing sophistication of attacks is making it more difficult to safeguard the federal government’s cyber critical infrastructure. Adding to the complexity of cybersecurity is the compliance landscape for government agencies that changes with almost every administration. There are always new requirements – and penalties – that agencies must anticipate, implement, and report on. Large-scale information breaches, like the recent Office of Personnel Management attack, often begin with an attacker exploiting a single external vulnerability on a lowlevel system or through contractor credentials, and then capitalizing on privileges to gain access to critical systems and data. It is also very possible for a government employee to abuse access privileges from the inside to steal sensitive information. One has to look no farther than Edward Snowden as a proof point. BeyondTrust’s PowerBroker for Unix & Linux for least privilege helps balance the privilege requirements of users, with those of security and compliance teams, for routers/switches, and mainframes in Unix and Linux environments. The solution enables IT Security teams to confidently deploy secure and compliant network gear, servers and desktops, while giving employees the correct amount of privileged access to applications without affecting a user’s ability to remain productive. The result is improved security, through reduced risk and attack surface, along with improved system uptime and availability. Sudo 76
presents unique challenge faced by government departments and agencies using Unix or Linux – specifically the time and effort it takes for their organization to migrate to a commercially supported solution and whether or not their existing data and policies can be integrated. With PowerBroker for Unix & Linux, organizations do not have to sacrifice existing sudoer files for the sake of centralization. Instead, organizations can store and centralize multiple sudoer files in PowerBroker, adding enhanced policy groupings to more easily define user roles across the enterprise. The result is a simplified migration path from sudo. Auditing and controlling activity inside scripts and third-party applications within Unix and Linux systems have also been difficult for many organizations to achieve, especially when it is easy to “cheat” the system by pointing shortcuts to unapproved applications. PowerBroker for Unix & Linux overcomes these challenges by providing enhanced system level control and audit capabilities over any application – regardless of how the application is initiated. When users click on an icon, all activity (including keystroke information) is recorded. This helps organizations control actual commands and actions at the system level. These and other capabilities enable PowerBroker customers to meet the privileged access control requirements of government and industry mandates including SOX, HIPAA, PCI DSS, GLBA, PCI, FDCC, FISMA and more. With more than 200 U.S. Federal departments and agencies as customers, BeyondTrust delivers powerful privileged access management solutions that have been proven in a wide range of large and complex IT environments.
