What is persistent security with ConsoleWorks? Traditional security practices focus primarily on normal operations and require documentation to be performed manually. ConsoleWorks achieves full security and automated documentation in all modes, including maintenance, configuration, and system failure.

Authentication – With ConsoleWorks, there are two non-exclusive ways to use authentication to control access: User-to-ConsoleWorks authentication ConsoleWorks-to-Asset authentication Role-based Privileges – The ConsoleWorks privileges model enables the […]

Closed Loop Remediation – The ability to monitor, log, remediate, and secure physical and virtual infrastructure in all machine states; power on, single user, maintenance, production, and failure.

When it comes to security, ConsoleWorks offers many unique features to ensure consistent security practices across the entire IT infrastructure, including robust Access Control capabilities using a role-based/task-based permissions model. Privileged users should be able to access only those interfaces needed to perform their work. Role-based access and control in the IT foundation ensures that […]
