Network World Official Blogger Awards Xceedium GateKeeper "RSA 2009 Best of Show"
Leading Security Expert Says GateKeeper’s Tracking and Control of High-Risk Users a "Must Have" Technology
Jersey City, NJ – May 12, 2009 – XceediumNetwork World’s official security blogger has awarded Xceedium "Best of Show — RSA 2009" for its GateKeeper solution. Security expert Richard Stiennon selected the Xceedium GateKeeper from more than 360 exhibitors at the RSA Conference 2009, calling it a "must have" technology for tracking and controlling high-risk users.
Stiennon wrote: "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."
Xceedium’s GateKeeper solution reduces the complexity and cost of controlling and tracking high-risk users. It is a hardened appliance that balances high levels of security controls and accountability with the ability to improve operational efficiency. Xceedium uses patent-pending technologies to deliver a cost-effective solution for compartmentalizing, containing and tracking this hard-to-manage user group.
"It is promising that a noted and well-respected security expert like Richard Stiennon views controlling and securing access to business critical applications as the ‘hot’ space. It is yet another validation, along with our increasing client base, of the increasing market demand to improve operational efficiency without compromising on security," said Cheryl Traverse, president and CEO of Xceedium.
In addition to writing for Network World, Stiennon authors the security blog ThreatChaos and is the founder of IT-Harvest, an independent analyst research firm. Stiennon also has served as a VP Research at Gartner Inc. in the security division. He also has held executive roles at Fortinet and Webroot Software.
