Press Release - CiRRUS solves Privileges User Security Gap |
CiRRUS Management Solutions Ltd
Tel: +44(0)1235 854048 Press Release Contact: Mark Kacary Phone: +44 (0)7900 196536 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 18th May 2011 Oxford, United Kingdom, May 17, 2011- CiRRUS Management Solutions today announced that its partnership with Osirium enables organisations to identify and remove hidden and unused privileged legacy accounts on IT devices and servers. This solves a critical security gap as many organisations are not even aware of these legacy accounts as they are hidden, unused and their original purpose is often unclear meaning disablement or removal could pose significant security risk. A recent survey conducted by Harris Interactive discovered that 10 per cent of IT professionals who had moved on from a previous job could still gain access to their former employersÕ systems using their old account credentials. The survey highlights that organisations are just not aware of the number of legacy privileged accounts that remain ÔactiveÕ in their own infrastructure, nor how they can be effectively removed or disabled. IT departments are also reluctant to delete or disable what appears to be a legacy account in case it turns out to be a valid, but infrequently run, critical process. "The legacy account issue has been with us for years. It's a challenging problem to resolve and until now there hasn't been a quick and efficient solution available, particularly across multi-vendor infrastructures" said Mark Kacary, Director, CiRRUS. "Osirium uses a systematic approach and with task automation it greatly reduces the disruption and manpower needed to complete the task. Consequently the operational risks from legacy accounts being misused are removed" Using Osirium's Unified Security & Infrastructure Management (USIM) solution CiRRUS has devised a six stage process that organisations should follow to remove legacy accounts. This process covers:
"Legacy privileged user accounts are a major pain point in organisations as they just don't have the resource time to effectively discover and then remove all these problematic legacy accounts," said David Guyatt, CEO, Osirium. "Using Osirium the time consuming tasks are automated and then by following the process weÕve laid out the legacy privileged user account issue can be resolved once and for all."
