PowerBroker Policy Accelerator, a new and revolutionary capability of the PowerBroker for Windows solution, intelligently identifies new applications and privilege elevation requirements based on real activities in the network and user event logs and subsequently automates the process of defining and generating the necessary policy rules.
Additionally, PowerBroker for Windows version 7.5 includes enhanced protections against rogue scripts by allowing only those with an approved signature and other specified criteria to run. This capability is essential for scripts that manage configurations or provide privileged access to resources. Combined with Application-to-Application scripts like those used with PowerBroker Password Safe, companies can validate whether a script has been tampered with before it is granted authorization for password or application use. This enhancement not only helps administrators and users, it helps next-generation initiatives for DevOps automate Windows environments embarking on digital transformation journeys.
PowerBroker for Windows version 7.5 also now supports Microsoft Windows 10 April Update 2018, allowing IT admins to remain up to date on the latest Windows OS. This compatibility update demonstrates BeyondTrust’s commitment to staying in lockstep with the Microsoft community.
With the latest version of PowerBroker for Windows, IT administrators can achieve the following:
· Reduced Attack Surfaces – Decrease attack surfaces by removing admin rights from end users and employing fine-grained policy controls for all privileged access.
· Continuous Monitoring – Monitor and audit sessions for unauthorized access and/or changes to files, directories, and lateral movement.
· Analyze Behavior – Detect suspicious users, accounts and asset activities through behavior analysis and Vulnerability-Based Application Management (VBAM).
“Discovering, creating, and testing least privilege policies can be a challenge for many of today’s enterprises,” said Morey Haber, CTO, BeyondTrust. “IT teams are often tasked with evaluating multiple systems and understanding a wide array of users’ needs in order to determine the privileged elevation requirements and the necessary system parameters. What’s more, much of this work is done in test environments and doesn’t take into account all of the real-world scenarios that can happen. With the new PowerBroker Policy Accelerator feature, organizations can quickly find the elevation requirements, and then test and save required rules on the fly, while maintaining consistency without sacrificing compliance.”
