PRESS RELEASE
(LOS ANGELES " September 16, 2009) To help organizations secure privileged access to sensitive business data, Lieberman Software Corporation is offering a complimentary white paper titled, "Who Holds the Keys to Your IT Kingdom? Four Key Steps to Securing Privileged Identities." This white paper provides practical tips, including manual processes as well as automated alternatives, for securing and managing the privileged account credentials that grant access to IT resources.
Frequent news reports of companies suffering costly data breaches, operational disruptions, and regulatory compliance violations prove the risk of ineffective privileged identity management. Why do these failures continue to occur? What exactly are privileged identities? Where do they exist and how does access to these accounts spread? "Who Holds the Keys to Your IT Kingdom? Four Key Steps to Securing Privileged Identities" answers these questions and describes how to secure privileged identities using the four part I.D.E.A. concept.
Developed by Lieberman Software, the I.D.E.A. process includes:
Identify and document all critical IT assets, their privileged accounts and their interdependencies.
Delegate access to credentials so that only appropriate personnel, using the least privilege required, can login to IT assets.
Enforce rules for password complexity, diversity and change frequency, and synchronize changes across all dependencies.
Audit and alert so that the requester, purpose, and duration of each privileged access request is documented.
By following these four key steps, organizations in all vertical industries can reduce the threat of costly data breaches, improve operational efficiency, and comply with major regulatory mandates like PCI DSS, Sarbanes-Oxley, and HIPAA.
