Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) October 14, 2006 -- PassGo Technologies, an international leader in the field of UNIX/Linux security and compliance led solutions, has today announced the release of a new feature enabling already deployed UPM components to update themselves from a central location, in a controlled manner, as newer versions and updates become available.

UPM brings accountability and security to UNIX systems, allowing system administrators to delegate administrative privileges that grant selective access to UNIX corporate resources without disclosing the root password. A number of processes can be delegated to individuals or groups, for example administrative tasks such as adding users and mounting file systems, granular control of such items as high value transactions and certain application functions, so reducing the threat of unfavorable behavior and the risk of accidental damage.

UPM creates an indelible audit trail, recording all activity that passes through it, down to keystroke level if required. This power to accurately audit root and other account activities in a safe environment allows you to implement a secure administrative regime, which combined with the privilege delegation delivers clear benefit and improvements to overall enterprise security, bringing you closer to your compliance goals.

With the advent of self-updating Agent technology, the administration of UPM across an enterprise becomes even simpler. In addition to the existing centralized nature of UPM administration, updates to deployed agent code can now be managed from a central location.

“We have introduced the automated agent update technology as a result of working closely with a number of our enterprise customers” said David Miles, Product Manager at PassGo, adding “With UPM deployed globally at so many installations, the ability to rapidly automate the roll-out and update of new code is essential”

UPM provides a comprehensive set of tools designed to help businesses meet their regulatory commitments, with Version 5.0 boasting a rich feature set, covering such areas as complex firewall and NAT support, upgrade and rollback, enhanced encryption, multi-instance support and anti spoofing measures. UPM is designed to control the delegation of any privileged account, while providing a highly detailed audit log of all activity. For more information visit our website www.unix-pm.com.
