Centrify is pleased to announce Centrify Suite 2013, which offers a comprehensive approach to identity management that includes integrated authentication, access control, privilege management, policy enforcement and compliance — all based on a single, unified architecture that leverages Microsoft Active Directory.
To complement our existing solution for Linux and UNIX privilege management, Centrify now introduces seamlessly integrated least-privilege access management for Windows servers. Centrify DirectAuthorize for Windows eliminates the problem of too many users having broad administrative powers by delivering secure delegation of privileged access and granularly enforcing who can perform what administrative functions. From a single, unified management console, IT administrators now have a global visibility and control over superuser privileges across Window, Linux and UNIX systems.
Using SQL Server administration as an example, you'll see how IT managers can set up roles using familiar Windows tools. You'll then see how easily SQL admins can gain the elevated privileges required for their specific tasks.
