IT Compliance & Auditing

Enhance IT compliance and auditing initiatives with Active Directory-centric identity and access management for UNIX, Linux and Mac OS

Both government regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPPA or FISMA, and industry standards such as PCI, have a single, simple concept in common: accountability. IT organizations must limit access to business-critical systems to only those users whose job role requires it, and they must audit what users do on those systems.

In cross-platform environments, establishing accountability by linking entitlements and actions to specific users can be a complex task. Active Directory provides a central repository for Windows user accounts. But entitlements to UNIX and Linux systems in particular (which are key platforms for business-critical data) may reside in multiple identity silos such as NIS, LDAP databases, or proprietary directories, or they may be managed locally system by system.

Centrify addresses these IT compliance and IT auditing requirements with a comprehensive identity and access management solution that centralizes authentication, administration, access control, authorization and auditing for UNIX, Linux and Mac OS environments within Microsoft Active Directory. More than 600 organizations, including over 38% of the Fortune 50, have embraced Centrify's Active Directory-centric solution for the following reasons:

• IT organizations have a centralized, global view of access controls, privileges and audit trails, linked authoritatively to a single Active Directory identity
• Unique, fine-grained access controls and delegated administration features enable the role-based, "need to know" management mandated by government and industry regulations
• Global policy enforcement (via Group Policy) ensures consistent security and configuration settings across a heterogeneous enterprise
