eTrust Access Control

eTrust Access Control

Protecting Critical Resources

With eTrust Access Control, the security over company confidential data and critical system services is strongly enforced and scrutinized. eTrust Access Control greatly reduces the risks of electronic asset theft, server service disruption, and super-user authority abuse, while maintaining a high degree of accountability.

In a recent CSI/FBI report, 71% of the computer crime and security hazards reported are done from the inside of the company and the most serious financial losses occurred through theft of proprietary information. eTrust Access Control provides the much-needed security that can protect a company's investment and ensure online service integrity.

eTrust Access Control has a strong access control mechanism that goes beyond what native operating systems offer. eTrust Access Control maintains a strict login and resource access control. It delegates the super-user or root privileges to appropriate operators to lessen potential misuses or exploitation of system super authority. eTrust Access Control plugs most legacy operating system holes and defends against Trojan Horse attacks.

The task of managing security over different systems is simplified because Access Control is designed to work with a centralized user interface that can perform remote administration across the network and operating systems. eTrust Access Control records system event information and user audit trails. It also protects log files from being tampered with and preserves data integrity for forensic use of the files.

Installing Access Control is easy and it does not modify the system kernel. eTrust Access Control can be deployed right out of the box, which can also put the system into instant alert mode and look out for suspicious activities. The deployment can be from a small set of servers to enterprise clusters or anywhere in between.

No matter if it is the need for eBusiness security or for critical file and database services protection, eTrust Access Control is the best solution to deliver host based security, with its easy installation, cross-system deployment and management, strong user login and resource control, heightened system security and guarded event collection mechanism. eTrust Access Control gives the most needed protection to the valuable electronic investments in today's business.

Features

bulletCentralized Administration
eTrust Access Control enables you to manage the administrator workstation and every other workstation on which Access Control is installed from a single point.
bulletSelf-Protection
A self-defense mechanism prevents hackers or others from bringing down Access Control services. This same mechanism safeguards Access control files and data.
bulletProfile Groups
eTrust Access Control allows you to base security on roles or group membership. For example, it can limit the rights granted to the Administrator's group and users who are members of that group.
bulletUser Accountability
Access Control has the unique ability to prohibit users from "hiding behind" the superuser account and performing untraceable actions. It traces each action to a specific user who can be named and held accountable.
bulletStack Overflow Protection (STOP)
STOP prevents hackers from using stack overflow exploits, which can enable them to execute arbitrary commands in order to break into systems.
bulletCross Platform Support
Administrators can create, implement, and maintain similar or identical security policies for UNIX and Windows NT.
