Traditional identity management systems and directories are insufficient for controlling access policies across servers, applications, and desktops. They lack the ability to define, enforce, and audit granular authorization policies. And, they are very ineffective for distributing and revoking user credentials across multiple systems. Over time, users begin to accumulate credentials and authorization rights, creating a significant security risk and audit issue. A third concern is the sharing of privileged and functional accounts by system administrators and the resulting lack of control over local Microsoft Windows accounts, making it nearly impossible to control and audit administrator activities.

FoxT provides access management solutions that centrally enforce normal and elevated user access policies across servers, applications, databases, and desktops. The integration of FoxT’s solutions with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (McAfee ePO) software enables organizations to speed deployment of these robust access control management capabilities across their IT infrastructure. By proactively enforcing access policies and eliminating the sharing of privileged accounts, organizations can greatly reduce the risk of insider fraud, solve key compliance issues, and lower system administration costs.
