PowerBroker for Windows 7.4
User Behavior and Lateral Movement Tracking News of data breaches, advanced persistent threats, and large-scale hacks remain a constant reminder that no organization is completely safe from cyber-attacks. A common theme of recent attacks is lateral movement – where attackers gain access to a machine within an organization and attempt to move through the network, ultimately gaining access to sensitive data and/or critical systems. Combatting these attacks can be challenging. PowerBroker for Windows version 7.4 provides assistance in the detection and prevention of user behavior related to these activities. With PowerBroker for Windows version 7.4, IT admins can leverage rules to identify activities related to suspicious lateral movement. PowerBroker for Windows version 7.4 allows administrators to create rules which can monitor common attack vectors targeted during lateral movement attacks.

PowerBroker for Mac 1.4 Highlights
MacOS High Sierra Support (10.13.x) PowerBroker for Mac now offers support for MacOS High Sierra (10.13x). This provides parity functionality with previously supported versions of the OS and enables organizations to confidently and securely adopt the latest OS version without the risk of excessive user privileges. Improve Security with User-based Rules and Policy Central Policy, also referred to as BeyondInsight or Web Services Mode, enables customers to manage their PowerBroker for Mac rule set. Until now this mode only allowed for targeting assets/computers. By following and targeting policy to a user, [in addition to machine-based policy], on whatever PBMac managed device they log into, companies can better ensure a consistent security model and user experience throughout their networks.
