Xceedium Provides Secure Remote Administration and Automated Compliance Solutions

Xceedium, Inc., the premier provider of entitlement management solutions that control high-risk users, today announced the Xceedium GateKeeper 620. A channel-only product developed for mid-market businesses, the GateKeeper 620 is a hardened appliance that provides a cost-effective way to meet audit and compliance requirements and securely and efficiently manage remote IT infrastructure, such as branch and remote offices.

PCI Level 2 and Level 3 businesses will benefit from a solution that provides self-certification for their high-risk user group. Managed service providers can use the Xceedium GateKeeper 620 to provide an easy way to enforce controls and deliver targeted reports for proof of controls to satisfy Level 2 and 3 PCI compliance requirements. This is a competitive advantage in a crowded MSP marketplace.

Xceedium GateKeeper 620 is Xceedium’s response to several important market trends, such as increasingly strict compliance needs – including PCI self-certification requirements – and the needs of companies to manage remote infrastructure more cost-effectively. The Xceedium GateKeeper 620 will be distributed exclusively through Xceedium’s channel partners.

“Xceedium GateKeeper 620 is a solid, easy-to-deploy, all-in-one solution that automates the complex security models for high-risk users necessary to meet compliance regulations, especially PCI Level 2 and Level 3 companies with self-certification requirements,” said Cheryl Traverse, CEO at Xceedium. “Xceedium GateKeeper 620 also delivers a simple, cost-effective way to balance security requirements and operational efficiency in managing remote infrastructure for SMBs and branch offices.”

Xceedium GateKeeper 620 includes restrictive access and enforcement of controls (compartmentalization and containment) for high-risk users, then monitors, alerts, remediates, logs, records, and reports centrally on all their activities.

“We are committed to arming our customers with the best technology, expertise and services – all in one central location,” said Russell Zientek, CEO at Computerlinks. “The Xceedium GateKeeper 620 delivers new functionality that will allow our customers to strengthen their security and compliance offerings with the GateKeeper’s monitoring and reporting capabilities, and extend this functionality in a cost-effective manner to organizations with smaller IT infrastructures.”

Xceedium delivers a solution to assist companies with PCI self-assessment via its entitlement management model. With its patent-pending LeapFrog Prevention™ technology, companies can create fine grain compartments of authorized areas in their infrastructure and prevent high-risk users from “leap-frogging” to unauthorized areas. Xceedium GateKeeper 620 provides a unique access method that leaves zero footprint on the network and limits visibility to the source IP address. Its bi-directional session recording for all CLI-based access provides a complete audit trail and full accountability for high-risk users. Centralized reporting capabilities reduce the time and complexity of passing internal audits and delivering proof of compliance.

Xceedium GateKeeper 620 is available exclusively through the company’s channel partners. For more information please visit http://www.xceedium.com/Products/gatekeeper620_overview.php .
