Sudo Converter

Powerful conversion on the road to implementing Privileged Access Management

The PowerBroker Sudo Converter makes your transition to PowerBroker Servers clean and easy. Now those permissions previously established through sudo will remain intact as you move to a more secure and centrally managed privilege access management system. Importing sudoers files using the PowerBroker Sudo Converter tool translates those files into PowerBroker Server policies, which ensures the access permissions are integrated into PowerBroker Servers for a smooth and comprehensive implementation.

Many Enterprise IT organizations currently utilize sudo to allow users to run programs with the security privileges of another user (normally the super user, or root). The scope of sudo is isolated to a single computer, which creates a number of challenges.

  • Administrators must access every computer to update sudoerss files
  • Reviewing sudoers logs may require accessing every server individually
  • Sudo logs can be altered by super users which allows “cover up” of an accidental or intentional misuse of privilege

There are multiple deployment options available for PowerBroker Sudo Converter.

  • Cloud - infrastructure is available for you to convert your own files
  • BeyondTrust - BeyondTrust will convert your files (Professional Services)
  • Your Datacenter - Rapidly deployable solution
