Core Privileged Access Manager (BoKS)
Identity, Account, and Privileged Identity and Access Management Platform for Linux and UNIX
What is Core Privileged Access Manager?
Centralize your multi-vendor infrastructure into a single security domain
Core Privileged Access Manager (BoKS) transforms your multi-vendor Linux and UNIX server environment into one centrally managed security domain. BoKS simplifies your organization’s ability to enforce security policies and features a simple configuration framework for streamlined, robust administration. Easily control access to critical systems and information with straightforward deployment. Ensure full control over accounts, access, and privilege, so your IT and security teams can proactively prevent internal and external attacks on critical systems before they start.
Comprehensive Account and Privileged Access Management
Account Management
Centralize management of user profiles and accounts for simplified administration and scalability.
Access Control
Secure your systems by managing user privileges and access to sensitive data—without slowing down productivity.
Least Privilege Enforcement
Give users only the access they need and ensure that least privileged access is enforced across your hybrid environment.
Key Features
Centralized Administration
Centralized security controls allow for instantaneous provisioning and de-provisioning of users to better secure your environment, increase incident reaction time, and help mitigate risks.
Privileged Access Control
Default to least privilege to close security gaps. Provide the necessary amount of privilege and access for users to do their jobs—without exposing administrator credentials.
Microsoft AD Bridging
Control your Linux and UNIX environments inside of AD to quickly and efficiently publish roles for Windows administrators to use during the provisioning process.
Granular Access Control
Implement fine-grain security controls. Define and enforce who is granted elevated privilege, when, from where, and how with BoKS ServerControl.
Centralized Sudo
Centrally control privileged account delegation, enforce which commands can be executed by role in real time, and eliminate the distribution of sudoers' files completely.
Self-Service Capabilities
Streamline account access requests and automate self-service password management for Linux and UNIX.
Solution Benefits
Increase Security
Gain Control. Enforce Security. Achieve Compliance.
Improve Security with Granular Privileged Access Controls
Having trouble defining, controlling, and monitoring administrative privileges across your IT systems? You’re not alone. Most systems provide unrestricted, untraceable access, making privileged account management very difficult. Core Privileged Access Manager (BoKS) offers centrally controlled privileged account delegation, enforcing which commands can be executed by role. It eliminates privileged password sharing to significantly reduce the risk of insider fraud.
Enforce Security Controls Across Your Multi-Platform Environment
Many organizations are running heterogenous Linux/UNIX server environments with a mix of legacy systems alongside new infrastructure, including on-premises servers, private cloud, and/or public cloud deployments. Managing privileged access and enforcing security policies across a variety of systems is difficult and inefficient without the right tools in place. Core Privileged Access Manager (BoKS) provides complete control over accounts and privileged access, including support for sudo and sudoedit, and automated renewal for node keys, helping ensure the principle of least privilege is applied across your entire environment. Core Privileged Access Manager (BoKS) significantly streamlines administration of user accounts and satisfies auditor requirements with centralized audit reporting.
Extend Security to the Cloud
It is important for organizations to employ synchronized policies across on-premises and cloud environments to effectively strengthen data security, maintain operations, and prepare for regulatory audits. Relying solely on a cloud vendor's default security settings is a mistake. Centrally managing accounts and privileged access across your on-premises and cloud environments with Core Privileged Access Manager (BoKS) enforces consistent security controls and provides seamless management across technology stacks. This gives organizations the ability to unify their security efforts and quickly extend security to the cloud.
Ensure Compliance
Meet compliance regulations such as PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and SOX by architecting security into your deployment from the start. Core Privileged Access Manager (BoKS)'s automated credentials management and enforcement approach gets organizations out of the SSH key management business, enabling them to increase the granularity of access enforcement, and easily meet strict compliance regulations. Automated compliance reporting provides auditors with the information they need without interrupting admin staff. Core Privileged Access Manager (BoKS) is used by multi-national enterprises with stringent compliance requirements to both ensure and simplify compliance.
