PowerBroker Virtualization
PowerBroker Virtualization provides protection from the inherent risks associated with users possessing highly-restricted system permissions within virtualized data center environments. Misuse of privilege, be it intentional, accidental, or indirect, can be avoided as any unauthorized command attempted on a guest operating system or hypervisor host is blocked before it can be executed. In addition, all user activity is monitored and logged down to the keystroke level, providing a comprehensive solution for addressing audit and compliance requirements.
