As thousands of attendees poured into Europe’s largest Information Security Event, Viewfinity drove hundreds of attendees to its booth and gave demonstration after demonstration to the steady flow of visitors. Everyone from CEOs and Engineers to Security Architects and Analysts stopped by to find out more about how Viewfinity Privilege Management could benefit their organizations. 

In addition to the demonstrations and information sessions that the Viewfinity team offered throughout the day, they also raffled off some great Samsung Tablets to booth visitors. Winners of the tablets were Ben H., Telefonic O2, Frank H., Unibridge and Jamie C., Exacta Technologies.

In every organization there exists a somewhat buried but very dangerous loophole: the presence of local administrator accounts. Local administrator accounts are often times created directly by users and are hidden from the IT manager’s standard tracked list of administrative accounts managed by Active Directory. These accounts can be used by malware to install malicious software on local computers through the administrator account. Further penetration into the IT environment is then accessible through this loophole.  

Bob Gourley, editor of CTOvision.com and founder and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Crucial Point LLC, will present the layers of endpoint protection necessary to ensure IT security and operations managers have a method for mitigating critical IT security risk. He will explain how each tool protects the endpoint, and how they work together to prevent breaches.

Next, Viewfinity will demonstrate a method for removing admin rights and managing privileges for standard users through policies, including how to:

• Discover user accounts that have local administrative rights
• Remove users or suspicious groups from the administrators group
• Control user permissions/privilege elevation via granular level policies

Managing the mobile user is quickly becoming the number one pain point in desktop management, and is a challenge that continues to escalate. Most IT professionals are struggling for a better method to remotely perform patch management, deploy and update applications, manage user privileges, troubleshoot and resolve problems faster, and more. Is this because your mobile users go for extended periods without connecting to your network? Are you relying on traditional tools that were designed when only 10% of your users had laptops?

Viewfinity offers true native remote systems management capabilities with absolute network independence; there is no reliance on corporate network connectivity or VPN. All desktop management is done through a secure and encrypted HTTPS connection. Viewfinity is a single platform used for supporting both on-network PCs and mobile users through which IT administrators can manage and control any computer over the WAN regardless of worker location. The software is intuitive and easy to use, and no training is required.

Martin Silverman, Director of IT for EvensonBest, will share how he is using Viewfinity to manage endpoints for his increasingly mobile workforce. He will discuss:

• Using Viewfinity to manage administrator rights within his locked down environment
• Reaching mobile workers to deploy software, set policies, and gather asset and license inventory
• Features unique to Viewfinity: Activity Journaling and Rollback, that help troubleshoot and resolve support calls faster
