Being a leading regulatory compliance consultancy firm it was imperative that TekVault partner with a leader in securing and auditing access across multiple operating system platforms. After researching and interviewing the various identity and privilege management offerings available TekVault selected Centrify as a foundational partner to provide governance, risk and compliance services to our customer base. TekVault became a certified Centrify reseller for the northeastern United States in 2009 and has since provided Centrify solutions to organizations in education, pharmaceutical, finance and government across the northeast.

Centrify is the leader in securing and auditing access to cross-platform systems and applications through Active Directory. From the data center and into the cloud, Centrify's identity consolidation and privilege management solutions are used by over 2500 organizations to reduce IT expenses, strengthen security and meet compliance requirements. Built on a common architecture, the Centrify Suite delivers secure authentication, role-based access control, privileged identity management, user-level auditing, server isolation and encryption of data-in-motion for the industry's broadest set of systems, hypervisors and applications.

The Centrify Suite centrally secures cross-platform data centers through Active Directory-based identity and access management of UNIX, Linux and Mac systems, workstations and applications.

Centrify DirectControl delivers secure access control and centralized identity management by seamlessly integrating your UNIX, Linux and Mac systems and applications with Microsoft Active Directory. DirectControl effectively turns a non-Microsoft system into an Active Directory client, enabling you to secure that system using the same authentication and Group Policy services currently deployed for your Windows systems. DirectControl is non-intrusive, easy to deploy and manage, and is the only solution that enables fine-grained access control through its unique Zone technology.

Centrify DirectAuthorize's centralized, role-based privilege management features help you manage and enforce fine-grained control over user access and privileges on UNIX and Linux systems. According to Gartner, UNIX and Linux systems inherently lack a scalable and simple model for administrative delegation, and organizations that give too many users root permission run unnecessary security risks and will invariably fail audits. By controlling how users access systems and what they can do, DirectAuthorize enables you to lock down sensitive systems and eliminate uncontrolled use of root accounts and passwords. DirectAuthorize also delivers robust entitlement management for UNIX and Linux that goes well beyond complex, script-based authorization management products.

Centrify DirectAudit helps you comply with regulatory requirements, perform in-depth troubleshooting, and protect against insider threats for your UNIX and Linux systems. DirectAudit's detailed logging strengthens your compliance reporting and helps you spot suspicious activity by showing which users accessed what systems, what commands they executed, and what changes they made to key files and data. With DirectAudit you can also perform immediate, in-depth troubleshooting by replaying and reporting on user activity that may have contributed to system failures. And its real-time monitoring of current user sessions enables you to spot suspicious activity.

Centrify DirectSecure is a policy-based software solution that secures sensitive information by dynamically isolating and protecting cross-platform systems and enabling optional end-to-end encryption of data in motion. By leveraging your existing Active Directory infrastructure and the native IPsec support built into today's operating systems, DirectSecure seamlessly blocks untrusted systems from communicating with trusted systems, and does so without the need to change your network or applications. The net result is improved adherence to regulatory compliance initiatives as well an additional layer of policy-driven protection against network attacks for mixed Windows, UNIX, and Linux environments, and prevention of unauthorized access to trusted computing resources and data.
