Network World Magazine:  “Best of Show -- RSA 2009”

Richard Stiennon, Analyst and Contributor

“The Xceedium GateKeeper is an appliance for managing privileged users. As I point out in my insider threat tutorial administrators, DBA’s and even applications are often granted carte blanche access with little or no accountability. Tackling this problem is one of the best ways to tighten up security. As a proponent of simple security I rank Xceedium as must-have technology.”

Gartner:  “Cool Vendors In Infrastructure Protection, 2009”

John Pescatore, VP Distinguished Analyst, Gartner

"The increase in the outsourcing of IT system administration and management has created a growing demand for ways to limit and fully audit the actions of IT superusers.  OS functions and third-party, add-on software for controlling superusers' privileges have long been available, but these host-based approaches carry high costs, and aren't useful in managing control of devices such as routers and switches. The appliance-based approach to superuser privilege management works well for scenarios such as outsourcing, in which all access can be funneled through gateways."

“With Xceedium’s product in place, companies can authenticate, compartmentalize, and contain any high-risk user — such as in-house administrators or outsourced contractors — without putting a footprint on the network, and then allow them authorized access to only selected parts of the IT infrastructure. Firms can remotely monitor the activities of high-risk users, and IT organizations can record user events and generate real-time reports to validate controls for compliance. The Xceedium GateKeeper solution is particularly valuable to IT organizations that must meet strict compliance requirements for internal IT employees or rely heavily on outsourced providers and vendors for infrastructure work.”
