environments.
“It is an honor to be selected as a winner of a Tomorrow’s Technology Today Award,” said Bob Farber, chief executive officer at Symark. “This highlights and validates our ongoing commitment to providing industry-leading systems access management solutions that bring significant value to our customers by helping them efficiently and cost-effectively eliminate insider threat and comply with a variety of federal and industry regulations.” Symark PowerBroker is the industry’s most comprehensive solution for authorization and access control within heterogeneous UNIX/Linux data centers. It protects the root or “superuser” account from internal exploitation by rogue employees or hackers that have obtained the root account password. PowerBroker allows organizations to comply with PCI DSS, SOX, HIPAA and other regulations by enabling security managers to adhere to separation of duties and the doctrine of least privilege by granting selective access based on user defined criteria and monitoring that access, while safeguarding the root account and controlling access to applications/commands, directories/files and permissions. Symark PowerKeeper is a secure appliance with a sealed operating system that dynamically creates and stores passwords to privileged accounts that are used to maintain and protect various devices within the network such as routers, firewalls, servers and databases. PowerKeeper uses recognized best-practices in security technology to address and resolve the potential security problems which come from the abuse of privileged access. “Increased security awareness is helping organizations take a proactive approach to securing their digital resources,” says Rake Narang, editor-in-chief, Info Security Products Guide. “With the recent proliferation of security breaches and the increase in number of compliance regulations, a sound identity and access management solution is essential. Symark differentiates itself from competitive solutions by providing superior products that are suitable for today’s needs while actively looking toward the future and the challenges that lie ahead.” To learn more about these award-winning products, please visit: http://www.infosecurityproductsguide.com/technology/
