Teamstudio Policy Manager Brings Control and Security to Help Organizations Protect Their Lotus Notes Software Assets; Automatically Enforces Security Policies for Perpetual Access Control to Close Security Loopholes

Business Wire, Jan 24, 2006

BEVERLY, Mass. -- Teamstudio(R), the global leader in software integrity solutions for Lotus(R) Notes(R), introduces Teamstudio Policy Manager, a unique product that enables organizations to maximize the value of their software assets by managing massive ACL changes and automatically enforcing ACL policies for increased security and control. Many organizations that have mission critical Lotus Notes applications understand the enormous risks and costs associated with migrating away from Lotus Notes, and now must improve their security practices to bring their Notes environments in line with other platforms. Teamstudio Policy Manager helps to secure an organization's software assets enabling it to meet compliance standards and receive full value from its Lotus Notes/Domino infrastructure.

Internal and external regulations and policies are forcing corporations to ensure IT systems are secure, robust and controllable. Lotus Notes provides excellent security, but support is needed to manage security policies across massive numbers of databases and users to pass compliance audits. Teamstudio Policy Manager is an application management tool that allows users to define standard security policies and achieve perpetual access control, bringing control to an organization's production, test and development environments.

"Today organizations need to have formalized security practices in place to help protect against unauthorized or inadvertent user access to mission-critical applications. The financial risks associated with lax security procedures can have a significant impact on an organization's credibility," said Nigel Cheshire, CEO of Teamstudio. "Lotus Notes provides excellent security features, but it is hard to manage them in large scale installations. Regulations such as HIPAA, ISO 9001 and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) intensify the need to look closely at your security policies and how they are enforced."

Teamstudio Policy Manager enables users to configure and enforce security settings across massive numbers of databases and users. By defining standard security policies, users can now apply and enforce policies automatically. For increased data integrity, security changes and violations are reported and automatically repaired. With email notification of security policy violations and detailed reporting capabilities, Teamstudio Policy Manager helps to protect critical data from potential loss, corruption or damage by unauthorized access.
