SECURITY THROUGH VISUALISATION

Since access rights are as complex as the companies they represent, we decided to put our focus on the visualisation of access rights so that each company can get an understanding of its internal structure and complexity. This visualisation makes it easy for clients to understand the individual challenges and unique risk factors affecting their data security. The specially developed 8MAN graphical interface, ensures that permissions across all resources (Active Directory, File Server and SharePoint) are presented quickly and are clearly understandable. 

Access reports

Seemingly simple questions like “Who actually has access to this directory?” or “Which folders are available to Mrs. Smith?” are extremely difficult to answer if limited to native tools. Using 8MAN you can easily run reports on all file server and SharePoint environments. This is done automatically and effortlessly and can easily show and document where users or groups have full, limited or even no access.

SECURITY THROUGH ADMINISTRATION

Excessive permissions are a serious security threat, which cannot be indetified by the IT department alone. By including the data owner in the decision making process, 8MAN preventively promotes a secure assignment of access rights and assists in the detection of existing risks. In addition, 8MAN’s comfort features support data stewards in their daily handling of access rights and group memberships. Assigned permissions become clearly visible and can be managed by the data owner as only they are aware of who should have access.

Temporary permissions – Dynamic and Secure

Project staff, trainees or temporary employees usually need their access rights for only a limited period of time. Through 8MAN’s temporary access rights, provided rights or group memberships are automatically withdrawn after a predefined period of time.

SECURITY THROUGH DOCUMENTATION

Providing reliable internal and external compliance reports is a very important task for most organisations and presents a significant challenge in many environments. 8MAN functions as a building block for customers, helping in the application of the most widely recognised statutory and regulatory standards today (e.g. SOX, ISO 27001, PCI DSS). All changes performed with 8MAN are fully documented, allowing you to track every new access right, group assignment or user creation back to its origin. 8MAN allows risk and security departments to implement best practice policies necessary for legal compliance across the entire enterprise, and thereby helps protect Windows environments accordingly.
