NetIQ IntelliPolicy for Clients provides administrators new and extended security and configuration policy settings, as well as the ability to selectively apply policies across desktop and server assets, for a simplified and cost-effective alternative to desktop lockdown and configuration management.
Managing desktops is complicated by the fact that users are often granted “administrator rights” as a result of applications that require elevated privileges and users' demands for greater control over their desktops. While this provides greater flexibility, it also introduces increased security risks. These risks include users installing unapproved applications and making untested configuration changes, in addition to escalating costs to support multiple desktop images.
NetIQ IntelliPolicy for Clients helps organization manage these risks with a comprehensive, policy-based approach to managing client-side security, access control and configuration management.
Succeed with the NetIQ Solution
- Ensure that desktops, servers and their users conform to the organization’s security and configuration policies
- Leverage a wider scope of available controls than are natively available in existing management infrastructures
- Assure compliance with regulations using comprehensive configuration and security settings and controls that go beyond native capabilities
Key Features and Benefits
- Centralized desktop lockdown and configuration management that simplifies the management of desktops and servers and leverages existing Windows desktop management standards. This feature provides IT administrators with the confidence that assets are more secure, their configurations are known, and policy is defined and operating across the organization.
- Provides extended security and configuration policy settings that help fill the controls gap between what security best practice and regulatory requirements demand and what native technology can deliver. Organizations can create policies that accurately map to requirements without having to rely on additional technologies, such as scripting.
- Offers selective application of policy settings, dramatically simplifying how policies are deployed with powerful filters to determine where and when they are applied, to ensure the policies that best fit an asset’s risk, capacity and availability profile are applied to that asset, and to avoid inefficient “all or nothing” approaches.
