While windows machines are constantly the center of security attention, more organizations are deploying Unix machines. The Unix/Linux operating systems are free, and easy to spin up multiple systems for very little cost. In addition, privileged accounts and access to these machines need to be managed.

Unix based accounts have two components that offer potential vulnerabilities to these systems: SSH Keys that are infrequently rotated, and administrative accounts with powerful access to change anything on the system. By offering protection to these two components, you remove them as potential vulnerabilities.

Our Unix Protection add-on comes with two features: SSH Key Management and Privilege Manager for Unix.

Our SSH Key Management feature enables you to store, generate, rotate, and push key pairs for each of your Unix/Linux endpoints. Because these are treated the same as other passwords in Secret Server, you now have additional powerful control such as workflows and audit history of Key usage.
