Control Privileged Users and Data in the Datacenter
Controlling Privileged Users for Improved Security
Protecting the business from the inside out with privileged identity management
View Executive Brief
In order to effectively manage risk and simplify compliance efforts, the IT infrastructure must be secure so that critical corporate and customer information is protected from misuse or unauthorised disclosure. It is therefore essential that organisations control the actions of privileged users and the use of data in the datacenter, whether on-premise or cloud-based. By controlling this access, and ensuring that information is not sent externally or to an unauthorised individual, IT can mitigate security risk as well as reduce the burden of compliance audits.
CA Security solutions for governing employee and partner access can enable organisations to reduce the risk of improper access by privileged users, through either careless or malicious actions. You can also help ensure that your confidential information is properly classified and protected from improper use or disclosure, thereby helping you avoid the reputational damage that can result from information theft.
CA solutions help you protect your on-premise or cloud datacenter through:
- Enhanced security for virtual environments based on granular controls over each virtual machine as well as the hypervisor
- Flexible controls over the actions of privileged users, including shared administrative accounts
- Information discovery, classification and use policy enforcement
