Cyber-Ark Software has announced the release of its new SSH Proxy solution that secures, audits, and reports on all privileged SSH activity in UNIX environments. The new solution, available as part of Cyber-Ark’s Privileged Session Management (PSM) suite, monitors and records command-level activity, protects against malware-based attacks and provides real-time intelligence on malicious activity without changing SSH session workflows.
Cyber-Ark's solutions are designed to protect powerful privileged accounts from both malicious and unintentional access. The availability of PSM SSH Proxy serves to further reduce an organization’s "attack surface" by limiting the scope of what privileged users are allowed to do within UNIX environments. PSM SSH Proxy is a native solution that does not disrupt the administrator’s existing workflow in UNIX/Linux and network environments using SSH or Telnet.
“Protecting and auditing privileged accounts is now a mandatory first step to provide security, as well as to meet compliance and audit requirements driven by targeted cyber attacks and other threats from internal users,” said Roy Adar, Vice President of Product Management, Cyber-Ark Software.
Cyber-Ark’s PSM SSH Proxy solution isolates the administrator’s workstation from the target server or device, routing all administrative traffic to come through a jump server, which serves as a single control point preventing attackers from bypassing the privileged account protection and audit system.
