Vanguard Introduces New Single Secure Domain Security Software for Large Enterprises
Security Leader Helps Customers Improve Security, Lower Costs, Streamline Administration
LAS VEGAS, May 1 -- Vanguard Integrity Professionals, the leader in enterprise security solutions, today announced new enhancements to its unique line of enterprise-wide security software. The Vanguard software manages the entire enterprise as a single secure domain, which enables companies to lower their total cost of security management by eliminating security software licenses and administration costs on individual servers.
With Vanguard's ez software products, users and data on distributed systems can be administered from a single point with a common interface. The software provides a complete and unprecedented integrated solution for universal sign on, intrusion protection and detection, enterprise-wide application authentication, authorization and auditing, compliance and reporting, and two-factor user authentication. The new versions of Vanguard's ez software products will be demonstrated at the 21st annual Vanguard Enterprise Security Expo(TM) and RACF® Users Training 2007, which will be held June 10-14 in St. Louis.
Univar USA is the leading chemical distributor in the United States, providing more chemical products and related services than any other company in the marketplace. The company, which employs more than 3,500 people at 79 U.S. locations, is using Vanguard ez/SignOn and PasswordReset software to authenticate users and reset user passwords throughout the enterprise.
"It was important that our users sign on to Windows and the mainframe using the same user ID and password. After evaluating several options, we found that Vanguard offered the best solution," said Chris Norgaard, lead security architect at Univar USA. "Vanguard ez/SignOn software is much less expensive than any other option and virtually eliminates maintenance costs. Plus, deployment is so easy -- just point to a machine, click 'deploy,' and the software installs automatically."
The Vanguard ez software line includes the following products:
o ez/SignOn for universal password control and intrusion prevention and
detection for multi-platform environments, including support for
Windows, AS/400, Red Hat, SUSE, HPUX, Solaris and AIX platforms. The
new version provides support for the Novell platform.
o ez/Integrator for enterprise application security that includes
authentication, authorization and auditing. The new version introduces
native Java interface support, which expands the range of applications
supported, simplifies deployment and provides stronger support for
distributed enterprise java applications.
o ez/AccessControl for integrated access management control across the
enterprise including Windows and mainframe platforms; Red Hat Linux
version is currently in beta.
o ez/Token for two-factor user authentication to applications and
systems. In addition to RSA SecurID, the new version adds support for
ActivIdentity.
o PasswordReset for self service user password resetting capabilities
that can be accessed from any browser.
o Registration Manager for managing and maintaining ez/SignOn mapped
profiles and providing a complete view of users and which IDs they have
on specific systems.
"Enterprise security does not need to be as complicated and expensive as it is today," said Ronn Bailey, founder, CEO and CTO of Vanguard. "By treating the enterprise as one single secure domain, Vanguard's ez software products dramatically reduce the costs of deploying, maintaining and managing enterprise security while also making organizations more secure."
