Remotely access servers and endpoints from anywhere

Regardless of industry or company size, the vast majority of organizations have significant IT infrastructures comprised of many components, such as servers, firewalls, databases, and network devices. Administrators and technicians need remote access to devices and endpoints across operating systems and geographies to implement critical updates and perform regular maintenance.

Privileged access is a primary attack vector for a cyber breach because once attackers obtain privileged credentials, those legitimate credentials can be leveraged to pivot to other systems in the network. Legacy access methods such as RDP and VNC have limited granular controls, allowing an attacker with compromised credentials to spend days or weeks in your network undetected.

Secure Remote Access

Securely connect to and access remote machines and endpoints in your network with one single access tool

User Profiles

Assign user profiles and permissions to give privileged users the power they need to get their jobs done quickly

Granular Permissions

Set granular permissions, network access levels, and specify time parameters to enforce “least privilege”

Monitoring

Log all session activity for a complete audit trail, with real time reporting

Notifications

Approve or deny a request for access in real time from any computer, Android, or iOS device and set alerts for specified activity

Vendor Access

Provide access without a VPN, making it safer to bring third-party vendors into your network

Bomgar propose Privileged Access en mode cloud pour les environnements hybrides

Bomgar annonce la disponibilité de la dernière version de sa solution Privileged Access,  conçue pour permettre aux professionnels de la sécurité IT de mieux contrôler, surveiller et gérer les accès des utilisateurs privilégiés et de tiers autorisés aux systèmes critiques. L’approche sans VPN exclusive de Bomgar permet aux entreprises de prendre rapidement le contrôle des accès privilégiés à leurs systèmes web et traditionnels pour mieux se protéger contre les cyberattaques et se conformer aux obligations réglementaires.

Bomgar Privileged Access 16.1 offre davantage d’options de déploiement et permet aux organisations de sécurité d’étendre le périmètre de leurs contrôles d’accès à leurs environnements hybrides. Outre le renforcement de la sécurité, les nouvelles capacités optimisent les performances, rationalisent les accès des utilisateurs privilégiés et facilitent l’administration des utilisateurs :

Déploiement Cloud : Bomgar Privileged Access est désormais disponible via la plateforme Bomgar Secure Cloud ainsi qu’en tant qu’appliance virtuelle ou physique déployée sur site. La segmentation unique du déploiement cloud de Bomgar permet aux entreprises de profiter de la flexibilité du Cloud sans aucun risque pour leur sécurité.

Advanced Web Access : les organisations de sécurité peuvent désormais gérer les accès privilégiés aux ressources IaaS, aux hyperviseurs et à l’infrastructure réseau via leurs consoles d’administration web.

Access Extender : Bomgar aide à rationaliser les audits des logiciels de tunneling de protocole propriétaires et/ou de tiers selon un processus consommable sans passer par une solution VPN complexe.

SUDO Manager : la nouvelle version permet aux organisations de valoriser leur investissement SUDO pour la gestion de l’élévation des privilèges sur les systèmes d’exploitation Linux.

Support des capacités iOS 3D Touch : utilisables par les administrateurs sur les modèles d’iPhone 6S et 6S plus pour démarrer rapidement des sessions de prise en main à distance avec enregistrement des identifiants.  

« Le détournement de comptes privilégiés est un point commun à la majorité des cyberattaques ces dernières années », déclare Thierry Taillhardat, Directeur France de Bomgar. « Les cybercriminels cherchent constamment à s’introduire sur les réseaux des entreprises et des administrations qu’ils soient publics, comme ceux hébergés par des fournisseurs comme Amazon, ou privés, comme dans le cas de datacenters internes. Ils ciblent régulièrement les chemins d’accès insuffisamment sécurisés dans l’espoir de pouvoir s’infiltrer et utiliser des comptes privilégiés pour perpétrer leurs méfaits. Et comme ces types de compromissions ne nécessitent pas de connaître les identifiants privilégiés, l’intrusion n’est parfois détectée que des semaines, voire des mois plus tard. Bomgar permet désormais aux organisations de sécurité de sécuriser l’accès à leurs systèmes les plus critiques, tout en rendant les accès plus faciles pour les administrateurs système privilégiés. »

Bomgar Privileged Access fonctionne en totale transparence avec Bomgar Vault, référentiel d’identifiants sécurisés et intuitifs qui permet aux professionnels d’autoriser les accès sans révéler ni exposer les identifiants d’accès aux comptes privilégiés. Bomgar Vault conserve les identifiants qu’il fait tourner et autorise les accès ou élève les privilèges par injection directe de clé SSH depuis Privileged Access. Les entreprises peuvent aussi imposer l’authentification multifactorielle à Privileged Access avec Bomgar Verify, une solution simple d’authentification bifactorielle sans jeton qui permet aux utilisateurs privilégiés d’utiliser leurs terminaux personnels pour s’authentifier auprès de systèmes stratégiques.

Northwell Health Uses Bomgar for Remote Support that Meets HIPAA Regulations

Bomgar’s security features allow Northwell Health to provide remote support that complies with HIPAA data security regulations.

Northwell has improved call handling capacity as well as the user experience through the use of Bomgar Chat.

Tweet This: Using @Bomgar @NorthwellHealth delivers secure, seamless remote support to the nation’s 14th-largest health systemhttp://goo.gl/kKHXkb

Jackson, MS – February 2, 2016  – Bomgar, a leader insecure access solutions, today announced Northwell Health is using its remote support solution to meet the evolving needs of the nation’s 14th-largest health system. Formerly known as the North Shore-LIJ Health System, Northwell delivers world-class clinical care at 21 hospitals and approximately 450 outpatient physician practices throughout the New York metropolitan area.

Northwell was initiating plans to replace its existing IT service management solution and wanted to ensure that its new approach to providing IT services included more-robust remote support capabilities than the health system had at that time. “Our IT service management system had reached end of life and the remote support capabilities of that solution had a number of limitations, including not being able to connect to Mac OS devices or reboot machines without involving the end user,” said Michael Turpin, director of service management for Northwell Health. “It really didn’t allow the level of remote support we needed for our growing organization. We knew we needed more advanced features and capabilities.”

“Gaining the ability to support Mac OS devices was a critical driver in selecting Bomgar,” said Turpin. “At the time, we had a lot of physicians who were starting to use Apple devices in their practices and we were using a best efforts approach to helping them. We wanted a remote support solution that could support these devices.”

It was also critical that the new solution comply with stringent data security regulations that Northwell must meet, such as HIPAA. Turpin researched a number of potential remote support solutions, but only Bomgar met all of Northwell’s requirements.Bomgar’s security features, including its appliance-based architecture and 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) SSL to encrypt all application communications, provide Northwell  with the data safeguards required to comply with HIPAA’s patient confidentiality requirements. “Our security team and CIO really appreciate that the Bomgar appliance is within our firewall and we don’t have to send data out of our network to a third party in the cloud,” said Turpin.

Although the health system is growing rapidly, having Bomgar in place has enabled the technical support team to maintain an impressive first-call resolution rate of approximately 87 percent. A key reason is the enhanced collaboration Bomgar makes possible. Team leads and subject matter experts can easily join an ongoing session when needed to help a support desk technician resolve an issue.

Seeing the many ways Bomgar has already enhanced remote support for Northwell, Turpin anticipates that the solution will continue to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of his department. “Overall, Bomgar is just making us better at serving our clients, which is exactly what we were looking for in a remote support solution,” he said.
