Avecto Privilege Guard 2.6 Certified as 'Citrix Ready'
BOSTON and MANCHESTER, England, March 9, 2011/PRNewswire/ -- Avecto, the leader in Windows privilege management, today announced that
it has been certified as Citrix Ready(R). The Citrix Ready(R) program is
designed to build world-class alliances with industry leaders of which
Microsoft, Dell and HP are currently members.
"This is the first step in bringing our award-winning technology,
Privilege Guard to virtual desktops and cloud-based systems," said Mark
Austin, CTO.
The requirement to manage user privileges is not one that is exclusive to
physical desktops and servers, but represents a real problem in the virtual
world also. Heavily focussed on solving real world problems on desktops and
servers, Avecto is set to offer their least privilege management solution to
customers with virtual desktops and servers and on cloud based systems also.
"From a technology standpoint, the software was built from the ground up
to be compatible with virtual technologies; it has been more a matter of
choosing the right partner to go to market. With the Citrix Ready(R) status
customers can feel confident that Privilege Guard is officially validated and
compatible with XenDesktop and XenServer"
"According to Gartner VP Neil MacDonald: Virtualization will be the
target of new security threats," says Paul Kenyon, COO at Avecto. "That means
that security professionals will require solutions which are better able to
meet this growing challenge. This latest certification for Privilege Guard
demonstrates our continued plans to work closely with trusted partners,
through the Citrix Ready partner ecosystem and to deliver more secure desktop
environments for the cloud."
