Gold Finger was designed to deliver six substantial benefits to organizations that significantly enhance organizational security, substantially improve IT productivity and measurably reduce operational IT costs –

Audit On-Demand

Gold Finger lets organizations audit resource security & administrative access provisioned in Active Directory (AD), on-demand, in real-time

  • Gold Finger's patent-pending security analysis capabilities help organizations instantly assess and audit resource security and provisioned administrative access in AD deployments
  • The ability to instantly and accurately audit resource security and administrative access grants provisioned in AD on-demand lets organizations reliably assess, lockdown and manage security and administrative access for identity and access management
  • On-demand auditing empowers organizations to reliably assess & manage resource security and delegated access anytime, at will
  • Generate Reports

    Gold Finger lets organizations instantly generate 100% accurate AD security and access reports to fulfill audit & compliance requirements.

  • Gold Finger completely automates the real-time generation of 338 AD focused security reports spanning 12 categories
  • Gold Finger's patent-pending access assessment capabilities further automate the generation of 25 vital AD access reports
  • Gold Finger thus empowers organizations to effortlessly and efficiently fulfill all their AD security and access reporting needs
  • Accurately Assess Access

    Only Gold Finger empowers organizations to precisely and efficiently assess and control administrative power delegated in Active Directory

  • The need to know exactly who is delegated what administrative authority for vital identity and access management tasks in Active Directory is paramount to organizational security
  • Gold Finger is the only solution in the world that can accurately assess administrative entitlement grants in Active Directory
  • Gold Finger's patent-pending access assessment capabilities accurately assess administrative entitlement grants in Active Directory, empowering organizations to accurately assess and reliably control administrative access grants in Active Directory
  • Securely Delegate Authority

    Gold Finger lets organizations delegate and undelegate administrative authority in Active Directory with complete control and insight

  • Active Directory offers powerful administrative access delegation capabilities that empower organizations to securely delegate administrative authority to a very high degree of precision
  • The only potential drawback of natively delegating administrative access in Active Directory is that it's hard to accurately determine who is delegated what access, and thus hard to effectively control access
  • Gold Finger makes accurately determining who is delegated what access in Active Directory as easy as touching one button
  • In effect, Gold Finger's automated accurate access assessment capabilities perfectly complement Active Directory's delegation capabilities letting organizations delegate administrative authority in Active Directory with complete control and insight
  • Together the powerful combination of Active Directory and Gold Finger finally lets organizations –
    • leverage their investment in Windows Server to reliably delegate and undelegate administrative authority for IT management natively in their Active Directory
    • save significant IT dollars spent on procuring expensive 3rd party administrative access management solutions
    • secure access provisioned on vital IT assets stored in Active Directory, such as SCPs, security groups etc.
  • Immediately Mitigate Security Risk

    Gold Finger lets organizations identify and mitigate the grave security risk posed by unauthorized administrative access in Active Directory

  • In most organizations that run on Active Directory, there exist large numbers of unauthorized delegated administrative grants that are difficult to identify at a simple glance
  • These unauthorized delegated administrative grants pose a serious security risk to organizations because they can be easily exploited by anyone with the means or expertise to identify them
  • All users with a domain user account already have access to the data needed to identify these unauthorized grants. They only lack the means to interpret the data to find and exploit these grants
  • Gold Finger completely automates the expertise required to easily identify these grants, empowering IT admins to identify and eliminate these unauthorized grants before they can be identified and exploited by malicious perpetrators
  • Gold Finger thus helps organizations immediately identify and mitigate a serious unmitigated security risk, helping organizations significantly and measurably mitigate risk and enhance IT security
  • Easily Demonstrate Regulatory Compliance

    Only Gold Finger allows organizations to accurately and efficiently demonstrate the compliance of access rights in Active Directory

  • Organizations are required to furnish reliable evidence that accurately documents the identities of all individuals who currently possess specific rights on specific organizational IT assets
  • Gold Finger can instantly generate accurate and thus reliable access reports that document the identities of all individuals who can perform specific administrative tasks on specific IT assets stored in Active Directory (e.g. user accounts & security groups)
  • For example, Gold Finger can help organizations instantly and accurately determine and document the identities of all individuals who can perform the following tasks, which are critically essential to demonstrating regulatory compliance –
    • Reset the Chief Financial Officer's account's password
    • Modify the membership of an Active Directory security group currently used to provision access to confidential financial information residing in an IT database
    • Modify the security policy protecting a server that hosts a database containing confidential financial information
    • Modify password policies protecting user accounts used to access confidential financial information
