Newport Beach, CA. September 28, 2009.

A GLOBAL NEED Microsoft's Windows Server operating system powers a majority of IT infrastructures worldwide. At the foundation of security and management in these IT infrastructures lies Microsoft's enterprise directory service, Active Directory, which is used to store, protect and manage vital organizational IT resources such as employee user accounts, domain security groups, computer security policies and Microsoft Exchange email-boxes. Organizations require insight into the security state of these IT resources and often need to conduct periodic IT security audits. Additionally, numerous organizations are also required to demonstrate the regulatory compliance of the security state of these vital IT resources. While Active Directory offers basic facilities to generate security reports, their use involves non-trivial additional work to be done on the part of organizational IT administrators, in effect increasing the IT cost of performing essential and periodic IT security audits to fulfill internal and external security reporting needs. Furthermore, organizations often inadvertently expose themselves to unnecessary security risks, as organizational IT administrators often resort to using free and unsupported reporting tools, or deploy reporting solutions which may be cheap to procure but whose trustworthiness may be suspect, because they may have been developed in relatively insecure parts of the world. A POWERFUL AND TRUSTWORTHY SOLUTION The Lite Edition of Gold Finger 2.0 completely automates the real-time generation and printing of IT security reports that are required to gain insight into the security state of IT resources stored in Active Directory, and enables organizations to generate and print over 225 security reports on-demand.
