Symark Software's PowerBroker and PowerPassword to Fully Support New HP Integrity Servers and the HP-UX 11i v3 Operating System

Business Wire, Feb 15, 2007

AGOURA HILLS, Calif. -- Symark Software, the leading provider of UNIX and Linux security administration solutions, today announced that its PowerBroker and PowerPassword-User Management Edition (UME) access control solutions will fully support the new HP Integrity servers running the HP-UX 11i v3 operating system.

By addressing the inherent security gaps in more than 30 versions of UNIX and Linux systems, Symark's solutions help organizations safeguard proprietary information and comply with federal and industry regulations.

"Because enterprises around the world run mission-critical financial, human resources and other applications on UNIX and Linux systems, it is vital that they have a comprehensive access control mechanism in place," said Bob Farber, COO of Symark Software. "Symark's PowerBroker and PowerPassword-UME solutions will facilitate the secure deployment of HP Integrity servers and the HP-UX 11i v3 operating system by restricting and monitoring access to proprietary information and systems. We look forward to working with our customers as they upgrade their IT environments with HP's new offerings."

Symark's PowerBroker and PowerPassword-UME identity management and access control solutions combine best-of-breed functionality with ease-of-use to limit access to information and systems based on pre-defined policies and privileges. PowerBroker protects the root account -- the most targeted administrator account -- from both external and internal threat, and PowerPassword-UME enables IT managers to centrally deploy, modify and delete individual UNIX and Linux user accounts.

"Security is a top priority for enterprise customers," said Michelle Weiss, vice president of marketing, Business Critical Systems, HP. "Running Symark Software's PowerBroker and PowerPassword-UME on HP-UX 11i v3 ensures a robust, enterprise-class solution that has built-in security features to lock down and protect customers' IT environments."
