SAM Jupiter: Next-generation automated security

Johannesburg, 23 Aug 2002

Systor announces the availability of SAM Jupiter in SA, the next generation of multi-platform security product. As a market leader in multi-platform security solutions, and with more than 60 major customers worldwide, SAM Jupiter builds on the proven scalability of the SAM product line, adding new standards.

What can SAM Jupiter do?

The powerful provisioning engine of SAM Jupiter converts user information from HR systems, directories and organization databases into access rights. This enables rule-based security provisioning, providing the basis for automated administration processes. SAM Jupiter Repository contains essential knowledge for effective security management. Access rights are derived from the Repository and are then automatically implemented during roll-out. The SAM Jupiter Auto Discovery Facility provides extremely fast loading of security information from the linked platforms and systems.

The SAM Jupiter Auto Policy Enforcement Facility allows the control and enforcement of centrally defined security guidelines ranging from password, revoke and resume rules to access rights policies. Flexibility is guaranteed by SAM Jupiter Delegation Authority, which selectively delegates administrative tasks and then efficiently manages the distributed administration.

An important core competency of SAM Jupiter consists of off-the-shelf Target System Interfaces that provide full support for standard security systems. Additionally, the highly mature SAM Jupiter Connector technology ensures seamless connections with PKIs, LDAP directories and e-business security, applications, security systems and management of manual activities. With its innovative user interface providing multilingual capability and intuitive dialogs for special tasks, SAM Jupiter guarantees a high level of user-friendliness.

"In developing SAM Jupiter, we`ve listened to what our customers have to say about their needs," says Yehoshua Shohat, Managing Director Enterprise Security Management in the Systor Group, "and they have told us that in the age of e-business they need more flexibility, user-friendliness and convenience as well as automation. SAM Jupiter 3.0 meets these needs with its expanded functionalities, state-of-the-art, Web-enabled graphical user interface (GUI) and modern software architecture. SAM Jupiter sets new standards in the provisioning and identity management market. Our customers and analysts are equally enthusiastic, and we are very confident that we`ll satisfy both our customer and market needs with SAM Jupiter."

G"unter Bauer, Director Business Area IT Security at HypoVereinsbank Systems GmbH, says: "As a long-time user and satisfied SAM customer, we`re very interested in SAM Jupiter. That`s why we installed the beta version back in March and we`ve been doing extensive testing since then. The product`s modern technology, functionality and user-friendliness is very impressive and we`ll soon start migrating to SAM Jupiter."

SAM Jupiter has been available since July 2002. Further information is available at http://www.sam-security.com
