UNIX systems (including Linux and Mac OS), by their very nature, have distinct challenges when it comes to security and administration. Because native UNIX-based systems are not linked to one another, each server or OS instance requires its own source of authentication and authorization - including superuser authorization through the root account. Without a way to effectively manage identities across UNIX and non-UNIX systems and a way to control and audit use of the root account, organizations are left with disjointed, inefficient and highly inconsistent management - and they risk potentially catastrophic security lapses. The Privileged Access Suite for UNIX, a part of the One Identity products, solves these inherent security and administration issues of UNIX-based systems while making it easy to satisfy compliance requirements. It unifies and consolidates identities, assigns individual accountability and enables centralized reporting for user and administrator access to UNIX. The Privileged Access Suite for UNIX is a one-stop shop for UNIX security that combines Microsoft Active Directory bridge and root-delegation solutions under a unified console that grants organizations centralized visibility and streamlined administration of identities and access rights across their entire UNIX environment.
