Viewfinity 3.6 – GA July 25, 2011
Viewfinity’s newest capabilities automate the process of assessing privilege elevation needs by silently discovering, prior to removing administrator rights, the applications and processes that require elevated privileges based on end user activities. Then, based upon the frequency of activity in required policies, Viewfinity defines the readiness level of an organization to invoke the policies and remove administrative rights.
Viewfinity’s End-to-End Non-Disruptive Move to Least Privileges process encompasses the following automated steps:
- Discovers user accounts and groups that are members of the local “Administrators” built-in user group on computers in your Windows domain.
- Silently discovers applications requiring administrative rights prior to revoking privileges.
- Provides “Readiness Statistics” based on end user activity that is collected over a period of time to ensure all events requiring administrator rights are captured.
- Once the collection and analysis has completed, policies to elevate privileges are automatically created and prepared in advance so that when administrative rights are removed, the policies are in place to ensure a non-disruptive move to least privileges.
- Supports future needs, exceptions and maintenance. Viewfinity:
