Resolving the Privilege Manager Paradox

Today's organizations spend an excessive amount of time, energy and effort to fortify their IT infrastructure from external attacks, yet don't address the most pressing need - internal security.

In Quest's paper, Enterprise Management Associates examines three solutions to the challenges of securing privileged account access and enforcing strong authentication. Learn to:

• Control access to your company's most powerful accounts
• Secure administrator passwords
• Ensure secure access with two-factor authentication

Security is expensive, but not having security is even more expensive. Preventing damage from malicious attackers, stopping the infestation of malware, and preventing theft and fraud is not cheap. But failing to erect adequate protections for your organization's level of known threat is not a cost-saving measure; it is simply a deferment of the cost until a later date. This white paper discusses several techniques, methods, and tools that can be implemented to save your and your company valuable dollars without compromising your security.
