PRESS RELEASE
Lieberman
Software Joins Cloud Security Alliance
Privileged
Identity Management Leader Supports Industry Initiative to Drive Greater
Adoption of Successful Cloud Security Best Practices
(LOS
ANGELES, CA – March 16, 2011) Lieberman Software Corporation, the Pioneers of Privileged Identity ManagementSM
(PIM), today announced it has joined the Cloud Security Alliance
(CSA) to help guide cloud service vendors and their customers in adopting best
practices in the area of PIM. Lieberman Software will work with the CSA to provide
insights gained from the company’s successful track record of managing privileged
identities in private, hybrid and public cloud environments.
"Current
cloud provider processes for managing privileged identities are either
non-existent or so poorly done that it is impossible for these organizations to
expect to meet regulatory compliance when it comes to managing privileged accounts,"
explained Philip Lieberman, president and CEO of Lieberman Software. "We share the belief that the success of
cloud vendors and their customers will only occur when security and
transparency are equivalent or better than what can be provided by on-premises
solutions."
Lieberman
Software has been working with ISPs and cloud vendors for more than 17 years,
and continues to lead the industry by providing highly scalable solutions that
address critical issues of multi-tenancy within cloud infrastructures –
allowing enterprises to maintain regulatory compliance as they migrate critical
IT services to the cloud.
"The
current poor security of the cloud and the total lack of transparency by some cloud
vendors are the greatest inhibitors for cloud adoption. Our goal is to
get cloud vendors to implement proper controls and appropriate security
solutions, and provide a welcome environment for auditors where security is a
proven quantity, not a secret. By joining CSA, we wish to share our security
experience with other CSA members to drive greater adoption and success with
the cloud," said Lieberman.
The
company has broad technical partnerships and certifications with major hardware
and software vendors that are providing products and services to cloud
vendors. These partnerships allow Lieberman Software to offer a
comprehensive set of out-of-the-box credential management, alerting, SIEM, and
ITIL/CMDB connectors to existing and emerging cloud vendors to provide them
with provable controls for managing privileged identities. Its solutions
are designed for cloud vendors that are seeking to implement continuous
compliance, as well as security SLAs and customer transparency into how cloud
vendors are managing their IT environments.
“We welcome Lieberman
Software’s membership in the Cloud Security Alliance,” said Jim Reavis,
Executive Director of the Cloud Security Alliance. “Lieberman Software’s work
in the privileged identity management space meets a vital need among cloud
service providers, by enabling only authorized individuals to access their
customers’ sensitive data and change configuration settings that could disrupt
critical business services, while also providing the authoritative audit trails
of privileged credentials usage that cloud service customers need.”
