Centrify announced the general availability of Centrify Suite 2013 Release 2 ("2013.2"), a customer-driven update to the latest version of the Centrify Suite.
The new release features advanced security configuration, ease-of-use functionality, as well as improved auditing and reporting capabilities. It has been specifically designed to further enable organizations to quickly and effectively mitigate risks from internal threats, meet compliance requirements, and reduce operational costs across the broadest set of cross-platform systems deployed on-premise and in the cloud.
In today's IT environments, threats or breaches associated with the actions of insiders — such as employees, IT contractors, offshore IT workers and even partners — can be malicious or completely unintentional.
Linking access privileges and activity back to specific individuals establishes both the control required to minimize security risks and the visibility required to achieve compliance, resulting in operational efficiencies across heterogeneous server environments.
However, managing user privileges can be challenging in many organizations since identities and entitlements often reside in disparate silos or are managed locally on servers rather than centrally. The Centrify Suite leverages existing directory infrastructure, allowing organizations to identify and eliminate "blind spots" in administrator access across the broadest range of Windows, UNIX and Linux platforms, resulting in one single identity for users and one unified identity architecture for IT.
