RSA SecurID Authentication in Action: Securing Privileged User Access

Tags:
security management

Overview The most critical systems in enterprise - such as operating system platforms, networking infrastructure and databases - must be administered by privileged users. These users have greater control over physical and logical infrastructure, and organizations need to implement best practices for controlling and logging privileged user access. Two-factor authentication of privileged users helps organizations to ensure that these influential employees prove their identities before making administrative changes to systems. By deploying RSA SecurID solutions, organizations can protect access to critical systems, track and monitor privileged user access and manage credentials of IT administrators so they can only access the systems for which they are responsible. RSA SecurID solutions not only protect enterprises against electronic access from outsiders, but also secure enterprise resources from internal threats.

Harnessing the Power of Location Intelligence in the Public Sector

Throughout the world, public services today are under pressure. The current economic climate, where taxreceipts are naturally suppressed, provides very seriousfunding challenges.

Store closures are changing the urban landscape. Demographic and/or economic change isincreasing demand for health and social services.Demand for decreased crime rates is focusing minds in law enforcement. And the threat of internationalterrorism is forcing greater contingency duties on the emergency services. The net result is a need to do more with lessÂ—quite a challenge.
