(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA, July 17 / MARKET WIRE/ --
Fox Technologies, Inc. (www.foxt.com), a
leading provider of comprehensive Enterprise Access Control Management
solutions, today announced that ING, a major global financial services
company, has selected FoxT's BoKS Access Control for Servers as their
preferred standard for controlling access to their enterprise servers. ING
will deploy the FoxT solution to centralize access management and
authentication across their Unix, Linux, and Virtual servers resulting in
more efficient administration of user accounts, controlled delegation of
privileged accounts, and streamlined IT audits.
"We have been using BoKS Access Control for Servers in our organization for
over a year, and found that it enables us to implement centralized,
fine-grained management of user populations and access controls across our
diverse server platforms resulting in greatly simplified administration and
IT audit reporting," said Erwin Elings, Security Consultant at ING. "We
also liked the fact that with the same FoxT solution, we are able to
effectively control delegation of privileged accounts and centralize
management of SSH and passwords. Based on that positive experience, and
our commitment to effectively securing customer information, we made the
decision to select BoKS Access Control for Servers as our preferred
standard and will further deploy the solution across our enterprise."
"We selected FoxT because their solution has proven scalability and
reliability, the broadest range of support for servers, and a unique blend
of capabilities that ensure controlled delegation of privileged and root
accounts," said Brendan Fox, Master Security Officer at ING. "And it
enables us to significantly reduce the cost of administering user accounts
while improving our ability to have successful IT audits."
The deployment of BoKS Access Control for Servers enables ING to:
-- Enforce security policies and fine-grained access controls across
diverse servers
-- Centralize entitlement administration and role management
-- Flexibly define how users should authenticate when accessing specific
servers
-- Control delegation of privileged and root accounts
-- Automate certification and authorization including access route
control
-- Centralize management of SSH and passwords
-- Consolidate user access logs and audit reporting
-- Encrypt network communication
"We are very excited that ING selected FoxT as their enterprise standard
for controlling access to their servers," said Subhash Tantry, CEO of FoxT.
"Our mission is to provide best-in-class enterprise access control
management solutions to the marketplace, so when a world-class organization
selects your product as their preferred standard, you know you are on the
right track. We are glad to be part of ING's proactive approach to
achieving corporate compliance while delivering secure information services
efficiently and effectively."
