Logon Security is an independent
gatekeeping and tracking product for system and file security on
Unix platforms that goes well beyond what standard O/S-level access
and monitoring can offer...
Summary
Robust security software for restricting and monitoring access
to Unix systems. A central administrator can pool users into
groups, restrict users' activities and access duration,
delete 'sleeping' users, and report from encrypted audit files.
Benefits
• User access management
• Account duration control
• User-specific program starts
• Tamper-proof audit trail
• O/S-independent interface
Introduction
More than one billion systems are connected to the internet. You must keep your organization's systems -- and the assets they contain -- secure.
Better technology is
now also available to control and track access to the (Unix)
computer system and its files. Logon does not interfere with
the standard security of Unix systems.
With IRI's new Logon security package, user
log-ons, rights, client terminals, and activities
can be highly restricted and fully audited. With Logon, you
can automatically serve up an application program for a user
who successfully logs in. To stop hackers from breaking in,
unsuccessful log-in attempts are recorded and repeat offenders
are permanently rejected.
Idle accounts are sensed and locked out. All login and user
activities are audited in encrypted reports linked to Logon's encrypted parameter files. Attempts
to manipulate Logon's encrypted control files or reports are
recorded and result in a lock-out.
Description
The Logon Security package administers and audits access to all
Unix-based systems via an independent, cross-compatible interface
that requires no changes to existing resources, or even root privilege.
Logon's administration module allows you to set up very specific
access and time limits on a given user or groups of users, and
allows you to pool certain users. Logon centrally stores this
information for later modification by the administrator (only)
-- someone who does not need root privilege. In fact, the administrator's
ID can be secured by any standard system password and be saved
by Logon as well. Logon produces audit trails of logon attempts
and will also be able to audit specific user activities and commands.
Only the Logon administrator can access, analyze and report from
the trail. Even the Unix system administrator
cannot access Logon's encrypted audit trail. Attempted
manipulation results in a warning and/or lock out. Access to system
then gets more difficult, since no further setting changes can
be made until Logon's security administrator has returned.
Platform Availability
Logon is available on all Unix and Linux-based systems.
Licensing and Support
Logon security can be licensed for temporary or perpetual
use. Per-system prices range from USD $2,000 to $20,000 and
depend on the number of users aboard each system. Annual maintenance
for Logon, which includes phone and email support, plus upgrades,
costs 16% of the base license fee for the total licensed configuration.
