Managing and monitoring privileged users to get a demonstrable, positive Return on Investment ("RoI") using COSduty-SSA V4.0

This white paper describes a method of ensuring that the use of privileged accounts is reduced to the absolute minimum while lowering costs. The product it describes, COSduty-SSA V4.0:

  • encapsulates privileged routines for delegation to non-technical staff, without granting privileged access
  • allows privileged sessions on particular systems for particular periods of time
  • removes the need to distribute sensitive username/password information on UNIX, Linux and Windows systems
  • audits all privileged activity

Protecting your investment in systems administration skills in a distributed systems environment

On a similar theme to that of the previous paper, this white paper describes a method of encapsulating system administrators' knowledge in software so that best practice, developed during their stay, continues to be followed after they leave.
