Quest Software Announces Industry's Most Complete Solution for Identity and Access Management
SAN FRANCISCO --(Business Wire)--
Quest Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: QSFT):
Today's ever-increasing threat landscape has resulted in the deployment
of disparate Identity
and Access Management (IAM) solutions that require an inordinate
amount of time, resources and costs to administer. Unlike traditional
IAM platforms, Quest Software (News - Alert) has taken a completely unified approach
with Quest One Identity Solutions, which now is reinforced by the newly
acquired BiTKOO granular access technology. As a result, Quest is
uniquely positioned to deliver the most comprehensive IAM solution on
the market that enables businesses to save time, reduce costs and
increase security.

News Facts:
-
Quest Software has expanded its Quest One Identity Solutions portfolio
to deliver the market's most robust solution for externalizing,
unifying, securing, and simplifying access
control - one of the most troublesome components of IAM strategy.
-
Quest is currently re-branding the BiTKOO (News - Alert) solutions and will soon be
releasing Quest One Authorization Policy Server (the former BiTKOO
Keystone solution) and Quest One Authorization Policy Server for
SharePoint (the former BiTKOO Keystone for SharePoint solution).
-
The integration of the Quest One Identity Solutions portfolio with the
Keystone technology of BiTKOO, a leading externalized authorization
management specialist acquired by Quest in December 2011, extends
Quest One's power, enabling businesses to save time, reduce costs and
increase security.
-
The Quest One Identity Solutions portfolio further improves access
control with:
-
Seamless security integration: BiTKOO technology eliminates
a "siloed" and disjointed security strategy through a security
dial tone approach. This "dial tone" acts as a common security
paradigm, which is easily and consistently implemented and
eliminates ad-hoc, inconsistent, and custom security coding on
individual applications.
-
Compliance confidence: BiTKOO technology fully
complements Quest One's powerful capabilities for gathering
information and increasing visibility into who has access to what,
when and how they got it, and how it was approved.
-
Fast, cost effective implementation: The addtion of BiTKOO
technology rounds out the Quest One portfolio by providing
additional capabilities that fully support Quest One's modular and
integrated approach, which can be implemented precisely to the
customer's needs.

RSA (News - Alert) Conference: Quest Software will showcase its
market-leading products at the RSA Conference, booth 2339 in San
Francisco, Feb. 27-March 2.

Nick Nikols, vice president and general manager, Identity and
Access Management, Quest Software
"Government regulations and
increased security concerns are critical factors affecting businesses
today. Organizations need the confidence that their enterprises are
secure and compliant without sacrificing business agility. Our core
objective with Quest One is to reduce complexity, cost and risk in the
enterprise by providing a simplified and business-focused approach to
identity and access management. The addition of the BiTKOO technology
into the Quest One Identity Solutions portfolio is a significant
advancement in offering our customers and partners a more complete,
best-in-class identity management solution. With today's announcement,
Quest has raised the bar for the IAM market and made costly,
ineffective IAM solutions a thing of the past."

Blake Cooke, lead developer, Electronic Services Section of the
Franchise Tax Board
"Security is of the utmost
importance for our customers, who rely on us to help them conduct
business on the Internet, so choosing an identity and access
management solution that would allow us to ensure that our users have
precise access to the right applications was no small endeavor. Only
Quest, with its BiTKOO Keystone technology, met our stringent
requirements for compliance, security controls and visibility across
the entire organization. Yet, it was surprisingly simple to deploy.
Now taxpayers, business entities, and tax professionals are able to
conduct business with the FTB through secure self-serve applications.
The shift has improved our customer service and has freed up our
internal resources and personnel, a cost savings we're now able to
pass on to our end users."
-
Martin Kuppinger, analyst, Kuppinger Cole
"Dynamic
authorization management is a core piece of identity and security
services and application security infrastructures. Quest's acquisition
of BiTKOO makes Quest one of the vendors with a comprehensive
portfolio of IAM solutions and a really interesting competitor in that
market."
-
Todd Rossin, managing partner and co-founder, IDMWORKS
"The
Quest One value is realized within the first few minutes of a
demonstration or proof of concept. Developers are impressed by the
flexibility and immediately begin to think of the opportunities to
replace their archaic methods of implementing authorization within
their applications. Our business community and auditors welcome the
adherence to standards (XACML 3.0) and consistency that the technology
introduces. In short, it helps our clients solve complex business
issues and provides peace of mind through innovative and simple
solutions."
