When was the last time you completed an audit of your UNIX systems? | |
 |
With stories in the news about people who have gained illicit access to information, the abuse of privilege becoming more commonplace and the requirement to comply with ever increasing legislation such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the G10 endorsement of Basel II in market areas such as Banking, company directors are under increasing pressure of criminal and civil penalties if they do not provide adequate protection for their digital information. See how PassGo Technologies' UNIX Resource Manager and UNIX Privilege Manager products can centralize user administration and increase the level of security required to access sensitive corporate information. |

Defender Token Self-Registration and Active Directory Security | |
 |
The Defender Token Self-Registration facility is a Web-based service which guides the user through the steps required to assign themselves a Defender authentication hardware token. Since the release of Defender 5, all Defender token and user objects are held in the Microsoft® Active Directory®. This means that the web service must be capable of reading user objects, and writing user and token objects to and from Active Directory. This association is essential to allow the self-registration facility to function correctly but appropriate considerations should be made regarding its effect on overall system security. Discover the security-related considerations that you should be aware of in order to guarantee a smooth upgrade transition from Defender 4 to Defender 5. |
