Windows SSH Client for Centralized Access Control
Since the end of the “PKI Wars” in the early 2000s, many question the security of Windows desktops environments. This is because it can be difficult to verify whether they’ve been fully locked down.
For Linux/UNIX administrators the tool of choice to log in to systems for remote session administration is PuTTY, a free command line tool, or SuperPuTTY, a Windows edition with scalable windo...
Provisioning Accounts to Multiple Security Domains
Core Privileged Access Manager (BoKS)’s main strength is its ability to create a single security domain of your IT assets, with a single policy set. There are, however, valid reasons to segregate networks, and infrastructure due to:
Differing IT governance, often due to historical M&A activities
The need to report to multiple market regulators or compliance regimes
Public internet-fa...
Pluggable Authentication
Pluggable authentication module (PAM) support in UNIX and Linux operating systems have met, or not met, common standards over the last twenty five years. Vendor-specific wrinkles in meeting PAM specifications have needed coding and operational adjustments. Core Privileged Access Manager (BoKS) hides the platform-specific behavior and operational constraints from centralized security staff for impr...

IT Security Audits and Reporting
Are you spending too much time getting your environment through IT security audits, PCI reporting, SOX reporting, EU GDPR, or other national data privacy regulations? Many organizations find it’s difficult to truly enforce who accesses which servers and what they can do when they get there. They also question whether they are controlling privileged user access rights and eliminating root and...
Keystroke Logging
Keystroke logging on Linux and UNIX systems has typically been the province of third-party tools not well integrated into security policy management. However, cultural and legal differences in the mechanics of how session logs are collected and stored, as well as who may review them can require significant security policy differences as they are implemented. This is especially true in a Linux/UNIX...
Active Directory Bridging: Add Access Controls to AD
As a primary identity source, Microsoft® Active Directory (AD) is often used for user authentication. However, effective security also requires granular access management. This is important for two reasons. First, it helps you control privileged users who require root and other functional accounts to administer servers. Second, it enables you to control end users accessing multiple applicatio...

Centralized Security Policy Administration
Over the years, organizations have taken different approaches to defining and managing operating system security configuration for their UNIX and Linux implementations. For example, a simple item like enforcing password length and complexity is implemented using five separate methods on today’s enterprise Open System platforms.
Core Privileged Access Manager (BoKS) takes care of the underlying ...
Privileged Access Management

Gain Control With SSH Key Management
Many organizations use SSH to secure their critical data and applications. This requires the creation of a new key pair for every new application, user, and automated service account. The challenge is that over time, thousands of SSH user and host key ‘pairs’ are created, but it’s unclear what they are used for or which system they pertain to.
Industry experts recommend retiring and updating ke...
