“In an effort to increase security options for e-commerce
professionals who run Linux, Computer Associates… announced this
week that it has extended the functionality of its eTrust Access
Control for UNIX security solution to support the Red Hat
distribution of the open-source OS.”
“Expanding upon an earlier agreement, Computer Associates’
eTrust product will allow Red Hat Linux users to protect critical
data and online business applications with security policies that
forbid and deter unauthorized access.
eTrust Access Control utilizes a graphical user interface
(GUI), pre-configured baseline security privileges, and secure
access to server-based resources to allow e-commerce organizations
to manage user access privileges centrally. The technology
also features profile groups, which allow users to implement
security policies based on role or group membership.”
