Accountability and Security
UNIX Privilege Manager (UPM) brings accountability and security to UNIX by enabling system administrators to delegate any UNIX user's authority, so that you can implement reasonable security controls, without impacting the ability of users to perform their daily work. |
|
Secure Delegation of Root
With UPM, responsibility for adding accounts, fixing printer queues, and other routine job functions can safely be delegated to individuals or groups without disclosing the root password and compromising your company's valuable information. This protects the full power of root from potential misuse or abuse, such as deleting critical files, modifying databases or file permissions, reformatting disks, or doing more subtle damage. UPM allows only authorized users to access files, directories and third-party applications and accounts, such as financial records. |

Indelible Audit Trail
In addition, UPM is capable of recording all UNIX session activity for any user, logging all keystrokes and display output, if required. This indelible audit trail, combined with the safe partitioning of root functionality - provides an extremely secure means of controlling the power of root. You always know exactly what is being run as root, as well as who did it, when it happened and where. |
|
Protectin Against Hackers, Trojan horses and viruses
Hackers, Trojan horses and viruses often compromise system security by introducing modified versions of key system files. Privilege Manager guards against such attacks by requiring a checksum match before running any program. |

Security Policies
UPM permits you to define security policy which stipulates who has access to which root function, as well as where and when they can perform that function. UPM controls access to existing programs as well as purpose-built utilities that execute common system administration tasks. |
