Quest & PassGo Team Up On Unix Identity Management Products
 By
Chris Crum
Quest Software and PassGo Technologies have entered into an OEM agreement to globally distribute two products for managing and auditing privileged access to Unix systems.
PassGo's Unix Privilege Manager and SafeKeeping, the products involved in the agreement, will be offered under the Quest brand.
"Customers managing complex, heterogeneous IT environments face the challenge of properly controlling and accounting for privileged administrator access across multiple Unix and Linux systems, as well as Windows," said Quest Software senior director, product management Jackson Shaw.
"While Windows offers built-in options for defining and limiting access to sensitive systems, Unix administrative access is ‘all or nothing," he added. "These new products offer automated, workable solutions that balance the need for access with the requirement for security and auditability."

According to the press release:
Quest Privilege Manager for Unix provides fine-grained delegation of root authorization for Unix and Linux systems. It also delivers comprehensive auditing of keystrokes, system logs and activities associated with the root privilege. The product's automated collection and audit of Unix event logs eases data collection for audit purposes and helps deter unauthorized activity.
Quest SafeKeeping facilitates the request, approval, issuing and tracking of secure one-time-use passwords for administrative activities on any system or application requiring elevated privileges. The product currently covers Unix and Linux while support for Windows, mainframe and business applications is planned. SafeKeeping enforces separation of duties policies while automating the entire process - from request, through approval and activity auditing.
Quest Privilege Manager for Unix is currently available starting at $995 (USD) per server plus $2,295 for a management console.
Quest SafeKeeping is expected to be available early next month starting at $595 per server plus $1095 for a management
console.
