From a central console, a security administrator controls user profiles and roles, authentication methods, and privileges to target applications and platforms. Of course, one console managing a huge enterprise is not realistic. So all the products we mention here are building in distributed, subordinate administration coordination to their capabilities. Schumann Security Software 's popular suite of products is still burning up the market. Schumann has integrated password synchronization and further developed support for more target platforms.
Customer satisfaction is on the rise and the company seems financially stable.
New Dimensions was acquired by BMC Software this year. Giga was initially worried that the fabulous security product, Control-SA, would be trimmed out of the system management suite, which BMC focuses on. Instead, we have seen BMC respond very favorably to the market potential of the security administration product. Today, Control-SA is continuing to be improved by the original lab, and BMC is aggressively marketing the product as a point solution. With the click of a mouse, the end user can change passwords for all applications and platforms.
