Administrative accounts are often a weak link to an organization’s security. Privileged users frequently share account access and passwords, reducing accountability, and privileges are typically granted all-or-nothing, without regard for the security principles of least privilege and segregation of duties.
The use of virtual environments in datacenters has grown rapidly as organizations have sought to streamline their operations, increase their flexibility, and reduce their operating costs. Organizations must ensure that their virtualization security solutions can help to secure the hypervisor, as well as provide the security automation required, to meet the unique challenges of a dynamic virtual environment.
Physical and virtual environments are included in the scope of regulations such as PCI, SOX and HIPAA. Our privileged identity management and virtualization security solutions can help you reduce risks and enable compliance for both physical and virtual environments.
