Avecto and Vistorm, an EDS Company, partner to help businesses accelerate the adoption of least privilege desktop management
Manchester, UK, 20th May 2009
Avecto Ltd, the leader in Windows Privilege Management
for corporate desktops, today announces the launch of the Avecto
Solution Provider Program with Vistorm, an EDS Company, its first
member.
Avecto has found that users with either too many or too few
access rights on their desktops and laptops dramatically raise the
total cost of ownership, a problem solved by Avecto Privilege
Guard. Vistorm, an EDS Company, the market leader in complete
information security, will provide consulting and support services
to organizations implementing Avecto Privilege Guard through-out
Europe, the Middle-East and Africa. "We are delighted to partner
with Vistorm because of their outstanding pedigree in information
security and infrastructure services. Vistorm has one of Europe's
largest and most sophisticated practices specializing in the area
of information assurance", said Tony Bolland, Avecto CEO.
"Implementing least privilege ensures that organizations
mitigate the security risks and costs associated with users having
inappropriate rights over their desktops and laptops. By partnering
with Avecto we can help our customers achieve improved desktop
security and reduce overall desktop management and support costs",
said Dan Turner, CTO at Vistorm, an EDS Company. "We are excited to
be the first to join the Avecto Solution Provider Program and take
a lead role in desktop privilege management".
The Solution Provider Program is targeted at global system
integrators and security consulting organizations that are looking
to improve the security of their customer's desktop estates.
Avecto's Privilege Guard technology provides an enterprise class
solution to manage user and application privileges, which is
delivered through Active Directory Group Policy. Solution providers
will assist customers in defining suitable policies for their
environment, enabling them to realize the benefits of least
privilege.
