ING, a major global financial services company, has selected FoxT's BoKS Access Control for Servers as their preferred standard for controlling access to their enterprise servers.

 

FoxT solution will be deployed by ING to centralize access management and authentication across their Unix, Linux, and Virtual servers resulting in more efficient administration of user accounts, controlled delegation of privileged accounts, and streamlined IT audits.

 

"We have been using BoKS Access Control for Servers in our organization for over a year, and found that it enables us to implement centralized, fine-grained management of user populations and access controls across our diverse server platforms resulting in greatly simplified administration and IT audit reporting," said Erwin Elings, security consultant at ING.

 

"We also liked the fact that with the same FoxT solution, we are able to effectively control delegation of privileged accounts and centralize management of SSH and passwords. Based on that positive experience, and our commitment to effectively securing customer information, we made the decision to select BoKS Access Control for Servers as our preferred standard and will further deploy the solution across our enterprise."

 

Brendan Fox, master security officer at ING, said that FoxT was selected because their solution had proven scalability and reliability, the broadest range of support for servers, and a unique blend of capabilities that ensure controlled delegation of privileged and root accounts.

 

"And it enables us to significantly reduce the cost of administering user accounts while improving our ability to have successful IT audits," Fox said.

 

ING is the seventh largest company in the 2008 Fortune Global 500, and is a global financial institution of Dutch origin offering banking, investments, life insurance and retirement services to over 85 million residential, corporate and institutional clients in more than 50 countries.

 

"We are very excited that ING selected FoxT as their enterprise standard for controlling access to their servers," said Subhash Tantry, CEO of FoxT.

 

"Our mission is to provide best-in-class enterprise access control management solutions to the marketplace, so when a world-class organization selects your product as their preferred standard, you know you are on the right track. We are glad to be part of ING's proactive approach to achieving corporate compliance while delivering secure information services efficiently and effectively,” added Tantry.

 

FoxT's comprehensive Enterprise Access Control Management solution suite enables organizations to centrally manage and control access to operating system services, configuration services, business applications, and information, on wired or wireless devices.

 

The ability to centrally administer, authenticate, authorize, and audit the IT infrastructure enables organizations to simplify audits and compliance, strengthen security, and streamline IT operations.
