The meat of the matter with the upgraded BeyondTrust's PowerBroker Server 7.5 for Linux and UNIX is that organizations can make better-informed decisions around root delegation on their most critical servers. This ability is possible due to added tight integration with the BeyondTrust's vulnerability management platform, Retina CS, providing clear perspective on how root delegation affects overall risk to an organization. System administrators enjoy the ability to delegate privileges and authorization without disclosing the root password on UNIX, Linux and Mac OS X platforms. Furthermore, a highly flexible policy language enables creation of unifying security across multiple platforms and allows users to perform tasks across multiple targets simultaneously. Deployment requires no changes to the kernel nor system reboots, thus eliminating their impact on resource availability. The net impact of the PowerBroker Server solution, says BeyondTrust, is transparent provision of the boundaries essential to a secure and compliant environment with a concurrent breaking down of familiar walls that hinder productivity.
