NetIQ Change Administrator
NetIQ Change Administrator assures regulatory compliance and ensures operational integrity with unique server change control features and functionality that enable IT operations to better control and manage changes to their IT operational environment.
IT managers are often forced to grant employees broad, powerful and permanent privileges to production servers in order to accomplish narrow tasks that need to be done only infrequently. This situation exists because native permissions fail to offer the kind of granularity that today’s regulatory environment requires. To meet auditors’ demands for greater change control, IT organizations have been forced to create homegrown systems or to manage permissions manually.
NetIQ Change Administrator delivers authorized, delegated, change control and highly configurable, time-based, task-specific permissions for servers.
- Get highly-configurable server change control features that provide delegated, task-specific permissions
- Comply with multiple policies and regulations and strengthen your system’s operational integrity
- Control which systems are accessed and reinforce change management processes
NetIQ Change Administrator Ensures Appropriate Server Access is Delegated |
“When organizations hire new IT employees, IT managers often automatically admit them into a trusted group, giving them indiscriminate access into the IT infrastructure. By granting this type of broad access, organizations are making themselves vulnerable to the greatest threat—the one coming from inside their own walls. NetIQ Change Administrator allows organizations to implement higher levels of control and accountability over the entire IT infrastructure to adopt effective security best practices.” |
