PowerBroker for Unix & Linux - Independent Product Review

January 4, 2018

  • Blog
  • Archive
Unix and Linux systems present high-value targets for external attackers and malicious insiders alike. This much we know: You should expect to be breached if you share accounts, provide unfettered root access, or let files and sessions go unmonitored. Gaining root or other privileged credentials makes it easy for attackers to fly under the radar and access sensitive systems and data; the risk only increases as attack surfaces expand, perimeters vanish, attackers get smarter, and compliance pressures mount. For sure it's a difficult balance to strike – eliminating root account sharing, limiting who has access to root privileges, and monitoring sessions – all without hindering administrator productivity. Download this independent, third-party, expert review of PowerBroker for Unix & Linux today, and gain greater control and visibility over your Unix and Linux security. download now

What’s the right solution?

To close the gap between user productivity and security on Unix/Linux systems, many organizations naturally turn to sudo. But sudo operates only at the command level, not the system level, leaving system processes – like the execution of scripts – exposed and allowing the execution of specific binaries or access to sensitive areas of the file system.

Product review: PowerBroker for Unix & Linux

With Unix/Linux security risks and sudo’s limitations in mind, leading industry analyst firm KuppingerCole has reviewed PowerBroker for Unix & Linux, BeyondTrust’s gold-standard solution for Unix/Linux privilege management.
