Protecting data and preventing unregulated access to network resources is vital for any enterprise – particularly given the increased focus on IT security and regulatory compliance. Yet even in the face of increased security demands, companies still need a flexible way to ensure that authorized employees, customers and partners can access the resources they need.

Blackbird privilege manager enables companies to meet security and regulatory requirements, while freeing IT from the burden of requests to add, change, or revoke user access. By streamlining workflows for authorizing, activating and revoking Active Directory privileges, privilege manager empowers data owners to provide strict AD policy enforcement to prevent unregulated and unauthorized access to resources.

Privilege manager’s workflow process enables data owners to control access and changes to their resources without infrastructure changes or business disruption. It brings together data owners, end users, reviewers and approvers in a forum for communicating, authorizing, and activating entitlements.

• Data owners: configure workflows for managed data resources
• Users: request access to shares, folders, files
• Reviewers: review access requests
• Approvers: approve access requests

Blackbird privilege manager ties in with Blackbird auditor – showing which access changed for a managed resource. Data owners can review and filter access reports to easily see who has access to their data. In seconds, they can drill down on any privilege or event to find out who made the change – and then create a proper workflow process for future assignments. There’s never been an easier or safer way to protect corporate data.
