Comprehensive Active Directory-Centric Auditing, Access Control And Authentication for UNIX, Linux and Mac Systems and Applications
Centrify Direct Control
Centrify DirectControl enables a secure, connected computing environment by seamlessly integrating your non-Microsoft systems, web applications, databases and ERP apps, and storage systems with Microsoft Active Directory. With its patent-pending Zone technology, DirectControl delivers the only solution that does not require intrusive reconfiguration of existing systems and provides the granular administrative control needed to securely manage a diverse set of systems and applications. With Centrify, you can now fully leverage your investment in Active Directory to significantly strengthen security, reduce infrastructure costs, streamline IT operations, and better comply with regulatory requirements.
Centrify DirectControl's core feature is its ability to enable UNIX, Linux and Mac OS servers and workstations to participate in an Active Directory domain. The Centrify DirectControl Agent effectively turns the host system into an Active Directory client, enabling you to secure that system using the same authentication, access control and Group Policy services currently deployed for your Windows systems. Additional seamlessly integrated modules snap into the DirectControl Agent to provide services such as single sign-on to web applications, databases and ERP applications. The DirectControl Management Tools include extensions to standard Microsoft management tools, an administration console, out-of-the-box reporting, and an account migration wizard.
With the Centrify DirectControl suite, organizations with diverse IT environments can leverage their investment in Active Directory to:
- Move to a central directory with a single point of administration for user accounts and security policy
- Use DirectControl Zones to provide secure, granular access control and delegated administration
- Extend single sign-on to web applications, databases and ERP applications
- Simplify compliance with regulatory requirements
- Deploy quickly without intrusive changes to existing infrastructure
Centrify Direct Audit
Comply with regulatory requirements, perform in-depth troubleshooting, and protect against insider threats through detailed auditing, logging and real-time monitoring of UNIX/Linux user activity
Centrify DirectAudit helps you comply with regulatory requirements, perform in-depth troubleshooting, and protect against insider threats for your UNIX and Linux systems. DirectAudit's detailed logging strengthens your compliance reporting and helps you spot suspicious activity by showing which users accessed what systems, what commands they executed, and what changes they made to key files and data. With DirectAudit you can also perform immediate, in-depth troubleshooting by replaying and reporting on user activity that may have contributed to system failures. And its real-time monitoring of current user sessions enables you to spot suspicious activity.
Centrify Direct Audit Key Features
- Detailed, nonintrusive recording of user sessions on UNIX and Linux systems
- Secure, reliable data collection in a scaleable SQL repository
- Visual replay of user sessions through an easy-to-use console
- Comprehensive, easy-to-use query, search and reporting capabilities
- Real-time monitoring with an at-a-glance view of all current user activity
Centrify DirectAuthorize
Centralized, Role-Based Privilege Management for UNIX and Linux. Control
how and when users can access UNIX & Linux systems and enforce what
they can do without sharing privileged passwords Centrify DirectAuthorize's
centralized, role-based privilege management features help you manage
and enforce fine-grained control over user access and privileges on
UNIX and Linux systems. According to Gartner, UNIX and Linux systems
inherently lack a scalable and simple model for administrative delegation,
and organizations that give too many users root permission run unnecessary
security risks and will invariably fail audits.
By controlling how users access systems and what they can do, DirectAuthorize
enables you to lock down sensitive systems and eliminate uncontrolled
use of root accounts and passwords. DirectAuthorize also delivers robust
entitlement management for UNIX and Linux that goes well beyond complex,
script-based authorization management products. Read Data Sheet
