One Identity helps secure
critical infrastructure providers
transitioning to a remote workforce
////////////////////////////
One Identity is offering all critical
infrastructure providers free use
of One Identity Safeguard for
Privileged Sessions.
As emergency services, public
health organisations, utilities and
other critical organisations rush
to enable as many remote workers as
possible, best practices for keeping users
secure have understandably become an
ongoing challenge. To help, One Identity, a
proven leader in identity-centred security, is
offering free use of One Identity Safeguard
for Privileged Sessions for six months to all
critical infrastructure providers.
Organisations rely on privileged IT users
to configure systems and perform vital
functions so their enterprises stay up
and running. If this privileged access
is not controlled as it shifts to remote
administration, they will face heightened
risk. Unmanaged privileged access opens the
door to attackers who can leverage it to steal
data or compromise systems.
One Identity’s Safeguard for Privileged
Sessions enables organisations to reduce this
risk by monitoring and managing privileged
access without hindering productivity. The
solution deploys quickly and mitigates
risk of a security breach by monitoring
and managing privileged access to an
enterprise’s most critical systems.
“These are unprecedented times and
organisations across all industries are being
pushed to adapt quickly with little guidance
on how to do so, potentially leaving them
vulnerable,” said David Earhart, President
and General Manager of One Identity. “At
One Identity we want to support those
critical infrastructure providers who are being
asked to do so much right now, by providing
them the privileged access management
capabilities they need to keep their systems
secure without getting in the way of their
essential missions.”
To support essential businesses that
are working through challenging IT
transitions right now, One Identity’s
Safeguard for Privileged Sessions will
provide numerous benefits:
Fast and simple remote deployment: With
a rapid appliance-based deployment and
simplified traffic re-routing, One Identity
Safeguard can have organisations recording
and securing sessions in a matter of days
without disrupting users.
Record and monitor all session activity
of remote admins, vendors and
contractors: All session activity, down to
the individual keystroke, mouse movement
and Windows viewed – is captured, indexed
and stored in tamper-proof audit trails that
can be viewed like a video and searched like
a database.
Real-time alerting and blocking of
potential attacks or rogue users: The
solution monitors traffic in real-time
and executes various actions if a certain
pattern appears. In the case of detecting
a suspicious user action, Safeguard can log
the event, send an alert or immediately
terminate the session.
“This offer is an important and valuable
addition to the armoury that our customers
have to protect themselves as they extend to
a more remote working situation,” concluded
Andrew Clarke, Global Head of Channel and
Alliances, One Identity.
“Our talented partners will be able to
help critical infrastructure organisations
get the most out of the solution, as it does
require integration with existing systems
to be of benefit to them. Our partners can
also step in an provide a managed service
approach, too.” •
