GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., April 22, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - Fox Technologies, Inc., a portfolio company of Parallax Capital Partners, today announced the release of BoKS ServerControl 7.0 access management solution for organizations whose networks include multi-vendor UNIX or Linux servers. BoKS ServerControl helps financial institutions, government agencies, and other organizations secure sensitive information and meet industry compliance regulations by delivering granular access control and privileged access account management.
BoKS ServerControl release 7.0 is the result of collaborative feedback from their customer advisory council in response to heightened security vulnerabilities within the industry. It is a centralized system that enables cross-platform account management for Unix and Linux servers. BoKS ServerControl not only authenticates and provisions user access, but also provides granular access controls around the user session to mitigate the risk from credentials being stolen, controlling the elevation of privilege and scope of user access.
"The recent Sony and Anthem breaches, in which stolen credentials were leveraged to gain access to critical systems, has shined a light on the security vulnerabilities within current infrastructures that do not utilize a centrally managed security platform," says Mark Lambiase, Chief Technology Officer at Fox Technologies, Inc. "Whether it's ten servers or 50,000 servers, BoKS ServerControl brings it all together in one central point to manage users across hosts and define their privilege. No other product for UNIX/Linux servers offers this level of granular access control."
Three of the world's leading financial institutions use BoKS ServerControl to control access and privilege escalation in their extremely sensitive environments. "BoKS ServerControl logs all connections and privileged access attempts within a BoKS domain and can replay specific incidents," adds Lambiase. "BoKS logging capabilities enable privileged access monitoring with an information trail that financial institutions can use to meet compliance regulations and gain tangible control of security across their server environment."
