Xceedium GateKeeper Proactively Monitors Activity and Strictly Enforces Technical User Containment to Authorized Areas
Jersey City, NJ – February 12, 2008 – Xceedium, a premier provider of solutions that enforce security policy and validate compliance for technical users, today announced that E*TRADE FINANCIAL Corp. has chosen the Xceedium GateKeeper to enhance and automate its security policy for technical users – while implementing and validating controls that meet compliance mandates. Gatekeeper is expected to play a fundamental role in automating the controls E*TRADE has in place to protect and compartmentalize its infrastructure.
The Xceedium GateKeeper provides the ability to contain technical users to authorized areas while enhancing operational efficiency. Xceedium’s patent-pending LeapFrog Prevention™ technology works at the socket layer to contain these users to authorized areas while working with powerful access tools (including command line). Additionally, E*TRADE will use the Xceedium LeapFrog Prevention technology for its Citrix Presentation Server™ (PS-XenApp) to augment the high levels of security controls in Citrix PS, preventing technical users from gaining unauthorized access to systems and becoming threats to the critical infrastructure. The Xceedium GateKeeper cost-effectively enables monitoring of all user activity, provides real-time alerts for violations, and delivers the ability to produce audit reports in accordance with such compliance regulations as PCI, FISMA, GLBA, SOX, HIPAA and BASEL II.
"E*TRADE FINANCIAL is a technology leader with some of the most stringent security requirements in the financial services industry," said Cheryl Traverse, President and CEO at Xceedium. "We are extremely pleased that the company has selected the Xceedium GateKeeper solution to implement, automate and validate controls for their technical users."
