Infrastructure Management White Papers

Privileged User Monitoring and Audit (PUMA)

Tags:
infrastructure management

Overview Striking the right balance between operational necessity, potential user misuse and fraud, and the costs associated with regulatory guidelines like SOX and OMB Circular A-123, can be the difference between a profitable quarter and staff layoffs. To achieve the most effective and least costly solution, organizations need a risk-based approach designed for privileges within the context of the user's roles, responsibilities, processing norms, and allowable activities. Oversight's Privileged User Monitoring and Audit (PUMA) solution does all the hard work, allowing the user to focus on operational priorities - not an ever-increasing user management and compliance reporting budget. Oversight's PUMA solution is capable of identifying privileged user risks - those activities that just don't add up.
