What is Gold Finger?

Gold Finger is an IT security analysis solution that helps IT administrative staff generate essential identity and access management related security and access reports in IT infrastructures powered by Microsoft's Active Directory technology. These reports are paramount to maintaining security and essential for demonstrating regulatory compliance of security afforded to and entitlements provisioned on vital IT assets.

It is also the only solution in the world that can accurately generate essential access reports in real-time.

How does Gold Finger help organizations enhance security, perform audits and demonstrate compliance?

In Microsoft Windows Server based IT infrastructures, Active Directory is the foundation of identity, security and access management, as it stores and protects vital IT resources such as user accounts, computer accounts, security groups and security policies. It is also the focal point of administrative delegation.

Organizations absolutely need to know what is the state of security of vital IT resources stored in the Active Directory, and more importantly who is delegated what administrative access in Active Directory.

For example, organizations need to know how many user accounts are currently disabled, but equally importantly, they also need to know how many individuals can currently enable these disabled accounts.

Such information is absolutely essential to maintaining security, performing security audits and demonstrating the regulatory compliance of Active Directory resource security and access rights.

Gold Finger empowers organizations to obtain this essential information in the form of 100% accurate and real-time security and access reports, which can be generated on-demand, and easily printed and furnished as evidence for demonstrating regulatory compliance and for satisfactory internal security audits.

How is Gold Finger different from other solutions that may be available from other vendors?

There are numerous vendors that offer a range of Active Directory security reporting and auditing solutions.

These solutions offer accurate security reporting capabilities but DO NOT OFFER accurate access reporting capabilities, which are paramount to maintaining security and operating a secure infrastructure.

Only Gold Finger's patent-pending access assessment capabilities provide accurate access-assessment reporting capabilities. Other solutions claim to deliver access reports, but in fact deliver inaccurate reports.

Security reports are a magnitude easier to generate accurately than are access reports, and that is why Paramount Defenses offers its entire range of security reports for free, as available in the FREE Edition.
