As a company, we have always had two product lines. One set of products are targeted towards IT administrators and the tools they need and use regularly. We also develop privileged identity management products targeted toward information security executives looking for a cost-effective, audit-ready solution that deploys quickly. Our company also makes a few products that bridge the gap between IT administrator tools and Enterprise Privileged Identity Management. This month I would like to talk about one of these lesser known, but very cool and useful products.

About two years ago Lawrence Pingree of Gartner and I had a great conversation at the RSA show in San Francisco about our products and about the huge amount of security and configuration data we collect and show. Mr. Pingree challenged us to unlock this treasure trove of information for customers by providing flexible access to the data in a variety of formats besides columnar reports. Find out the results of this discussion in this month's Privileged Identity Management Newsline.

Do you store your sensitive credentials and other secrets on spreadsheets or in Microsoft SharePoint, Lotus Notes, or other shared file repositories? One of our customers was faced with a scenario of having over 500+ spreadsheets containing sensitive data. After an audit, their auditors were not happy that there was no real tracking or need for employee justification for access to sensitive spreadsheet information. Further, spreadsheets provided no way to achieve the disclosure of the minimal amount of information for specific purposes. Does any of this sound familiar? Read the January, 2012 newsletter to see how Lieberman Software is resolving the problem.

We all know that the number one password management solution is the trusty sticky note. You write down your complex password on the sticky note, and then hide the note in a place you can find it (hopefully not on your monitor). The second most popular way to store commonly used credentials is to put them all on a spreadsheet and then share that spreadsheet with those that need access to the credentials on the spreadsheet. So, why is this a security problem and what can be done to remedy it? Find out in the November issue of Privileged Identity Management Newsline.

Here at Lieberman Software we often talk about the security risks of too many people having too much access to sensitive data for too long. The recent highly publicized data breach at Shionogi is a great example. This story vividly demonstrates what can happen when companies blindly trust the members of their internal IT departments and fail to control access to sensitive data. As we discuss in this month's Privileged Identity Management Newsline, what happened at Shionogi is certain to reoccur again and again.

Over the last seven months we have been working on a new version of Enterprise Random Password Manager (ERPM version 4.83.2) and Random Password Manager (RPM, also version 4.83.2).

But there's much more in the new versions of E/RPM. Find out in the July, 2011 edition of Privileged Identity Management News Line. |

At the beginning of June, Lieberman Software was a sponsor at a major analyst and CIO summit in London, England. During this summit, one of the roundtable discussions revolved around the topic of the relationship between CIOs and auditors. To say the least, this topic created heated responses that really hit a sensitive nerve for many of the CIOs in attendance. Find out what was discussed in the June, 2011 newsletter. |

Security information and event management (SIEM) solutions have become a must-have in IT environments because the technology helps make sense of the vast quantities of data provided by security software and appliances across the network. But for all the advantages of SIEM, until now the solutions had one troubling blind spot. Find out what's been missing in the latest issue of Privileged Identity Management Newsline. |

As a software security vendor almost every week we run into security scenarios that make us slap our heads in disbelief. Everything from companies putting all of their administrator passwords onto a spreadsheet and then sharing it on a publicly visible share, to companies buying competitive solutions that are appliance-based with the clear intention of never implementing the solution. And these are only two examples. Find out other information security gaffes we've witnessed in this month's newsletter. |

At a recent CIO conference for insurance executives, I gave a presentation on improving the relationships between CIOs and IT management. I received exasperated responses from some of the CIOs; they told me there was little need to enhance these relationships since they had long ago outsourced much of their IT staff and there was effectively no “relationship” to improve. What brought these former market leaders to such a state? Find out in our November, 2010 newsletter. |

A year can make a big difference in technology – and in politics. A year ago, the federal government was failing badly at establishing a leadership position in cybersecurity. The politicians were thinking about anything but the defense of our nation’s computing infrastructure. And the attacks kept rolling in. Fortunately, things for the good guys have improved. How so?
