PowerBroker Auditing & Security Suite 5.7: Streamlined Alerting and Deeper Auditing

May 10, 2018

  • Archive
I am pleased to announce the latest release of BeyondTrust’s real-time change auditing solution, PowerBroker Auditing & Security Suite. Version 5.7, announced publicly today, adds more capabilities for streamlining the creation of alerts, provides deeper levels of auditing, and features new HTML alert editing. Keep reading below for more on this and other enhancements.

Creating Alerts from Defined Audit Views Simplifies Actions

Without an automated solution in place, duplicative tasks and manual work in the creation of audits and alerts can be error-prone and lead to lost productivity or – worse – missed data. PowerBroker Auditing & Security Suite version 5.7 seeks to further eliminate manual work by enabling administrators who define audit views to simply right-click and automatically create an alert based on the defined audit view. By removing potentially repetitive tasks in the copying of settings from a search to an alert (and from an alert back to a search, too), this enhancement helps to ensure speedy, accurate audit data and actions. For a representation of this enhancement, please see the screenshot below.

Adding Visibility into Administrator Password Change and Reset Events Provides a Complete Audit Trail

In many organizations, for security and compliance purposes, a standard user’s password change should be treated differently than when an administrator changes a user’s password. Without the visibility into who initiated the password change, it is much more difficult to achieve a complete audit trail. PowerBroker Auditor 5.7 overcomes this challenge. When a user performs a password change, or an administrator resets a user’s password, PowerBroker Auditor generates a unique event for each action. This capability provides a much more complete and accurate audit trail into who made the change by building a search for when a user password was reset by the end user, or when performed by a privileged user. For a representation of this capability, please see the screenshot below.

Additional Enhancements for PowerBroker Auditing & Security Suite 5.7

Multiple new enhancements include:
  • Email Template Editor Enables Customization of Alerts: PowerBroker now adds to the console the power to modify the HTML source code for email alert templates, adding further flexibility to alerting. For a representation of this new capability, please see the screenshot below.
  • Web Console Enhancements Improve Flexibility: From the web console customers can now install, remove, and upgrade agents, in addition to starting and stopping their services. This option adds more flexibility for customers utilizing the web service.
  • Filtering Enhancements for Alerts and Searches: New positive/negative filtering enables content to be filtered for events that match or do not match specific criteria.
  • Manual Agent Install Options Add Deployment Flexibility: For customers using software deployment tools, new command line options in PowerBroker Auditor provide greater flexibility for those that need to use a deployment method outside of the one provided with the product.
  • SQL TLS 1.2 Support: With PowerBroker Auditing & Security Suite 5.7, all remote agents can now talk to a SQL Server database configured to only accept TLS 1.2 connections.
For more information on this new release, read the What’s New features document, or contact us today.
