CARLSBAD, Calif. – August 2, 2011 – BeyondTrust, a global leader in privilege authorization management, access control and security solutions for physical, virtualized and cloud computing environments, today announced its membership into the Microsoft System Center Alliance program. BeyondTrust's PowerBroker Desktops is now offering reporting capabilities through System Center Configuration Manager to automatically identify applications that require administrator privileges, and provide organizations visibility into what applications are being run with administrator privileges.
"Incorporating PowerBroker Desktops reporting capabilities with System Center Configuration Manager offers customers a new way to utilize existing investments for improved application insight," said Sergio Klarreich, director of business development, System Center Partner Ecosystem at Microsoft Corp. "We are excited to welcome BeyondTrust into the Microsoft System Center Alliance program and look forward to working together to help customers better understand their application usage."
By reporting through System Center Configuration Manager, customers can now take advantage of PowerBroker Desktops to identify where administrative rights are needed and utilized and enable an effiecient transition to administrator privilege management.
"Paradoxically, one of the biggest challenges facing organizations wishing to manage administrator privileges is identifying the very applications that require administrator privileges," said Peter Beauregard, senior director of program management at BeyondTrust. "By working with System Center Configuration Manager, PowerBroker Desktops provides IT departments the ability to run automatic, enterprise-wide audits to identify such applications without the need for additional server architecture, helping to save time and ensure accuracy for a streamlined, efficient privilege management process."
With System Center Configuration Manager, PowerBroker reports can be run without the need for additional server architecture. Reports can also be generated for ActiveX control installation and application elevation via PowerBroker[singlequote]s On-Demand elevation capability. The latest release of PowerBroker Desktops with System Center Configuration Manager provides an end-to-end solution for successfully removing administrator privileges.
