SCAN2GO: Knowing who is authorized to do what and where

Nuremberg, July 25th, 2011 – Scan2Go is the newest service package from the Nuremberg-based company Peak Solution GmbH. With Scan2Go, the experts in identification technology and security management offer companies comprehensive account and authorization analyses to prevent misuse of data and espionage. More precisely, companies learn to what extent user rights have to be cleared and what action is required to help to avoid security risks in connection with user rights in the future. The customer systems stay unchanged during the analysis process and no software is installed.

Scan2Go comprises a comprehensive analysis of user authorizations for security flaws and conformity in Windows Active Directory, SAP or other systems. The client’s IT landscape is selectively checked for dormant accounts, non-assignable IDs, directly assigned authorizations, users with privileged rights or accounts, members of administrative groups or roles, conspicuous groups and roles or users violating data management rules. The analysis report describes the concrete measures and scope of the adjustments necessary. This way, the customer is able to regain and maintain full control of his data. The effort needed for the analysis, for example with Microsoft Active Directory and the most important Windows servers connected, is limited to three consultant days.

“The provision of information is the central task of IT departments. Over time, however, the assignment of user rights leads to an exorbitant mess in most companies”, says Ga-Lam Chang, the head of Identity and Security Management Solutions at Peak Solution. “Unused accounts, unsecured directories or rule violations are typical starting points for security breaches. As an immediate measure to eliminate security gaps, we have Scan2Go for analyzing all access possibilities and thus providing the basis for a comprehensive clean-up. To maintain long-term transparency and full control of the sensitive field of authorization management in your company, we recommend setting up a professional identity and access management system.
