Additional Product Information
Pinnacle's Trusted File Commander Plus for Tivoli gives you powerful protection against inadvertent or malicious damage to your company's sensitive information by customizing file access control during a Tivoli Remote Control® session. Using the unique rule-based approach of Trusted File Commander Plus for Tivoli, an enterprise can secure only the files needing protection - from hundreds to just a few. And Trusted File Commander Plus for Tivoli integrates seamlessly with Tivoli's Remote Control to provide an enhanced layer of data security over and above Tivoli's policy-based authorization scheme. ;Protection for Sensitive Files ;Remedy growing concerns over individual file security with Trusted File Commander Plus for Tivoli. Financial information, confidential personnel data, intellectual property and trade secrets stored in files are essential to your success. You rely on accurate and reliable files and inappropriate access to them can have a crippling effect. But you can't restrict your help-desk and service personnel from all workstations containing sensitive information. ;Seamless Integration with Tivoli's Remote Control ;Trusted File Commander Plus for Tivoli secures information on local workstations that might otherwise be accessible by users of Remote Control. It prevents unauthorized access at the file and directory level. When a Remote Control service person connects to a remote target workstation, Trusted File Commander Plus for Tivoli automatically applies file and directory restrictions. ;The administrator centrally assigns a user profile, called the Trusted Security Profile, to Remote Control sessions. Whenever a Remote Control service person initiates a session with a remote workstation, the Trusted Security Profile loads. The service person performs his/her duties as normal. If he/she attempts to access restricted files or directories, access is denied and a system error message appears. When the Remote Control session terminates, file restrictions terminate and control returns to the workstation user. One Trusted Security Profile can protect hundreds of workstations. ;Files secured by a Trusted Security Profile are viewable only to those who have authorization. ;Easy To Use ;Trusted File Commander Plus for Tivoli is easy to install and administer. No programming is needed, and there is no need to visit each workstation. From a simple module, the System Control Administrator, network administrators can control Remote Control file access on thousands of workstations - even those located miles away. Using simple drag and drop techniques, administrators select the files or directories requiring protection and effortlessly create Trusted Security Profiles that assign security settings. Administrators simply point and click to establish Read, Write, Move and Delete privileges. ;Click on image for a larger view ;The System Control Administrator provides an overview of the privileges assigned to files and directories. The left two panels show the files found on the system. The third panel shows the files protected by Trusted File Commander Plus for Tivoli and the last panel shows the privileges assigned to the file highlighted in the third panel. ;Rule Based Security ;The rule-based approach used by Trusted File Commander Plus for Tivoli is a powerful, enterprise-wide solution. You can manage a consistent access policy even though your sensitive assets are distributed across disparate operating platforms. Rules describe how access is granted when a Remote Control user logs on. Access to specific files can be set for each target user. ;Unlike object-oriented, file-by-file implementation, rule-based implementation provides a more generic and effective process. Administrators do not need to specify explicit files and directories for each workstation. Instead, administrators can secure files and directories that have a common file system object on all workstations. For example, protecting all files with a particular extension (e.g. *.DOC), no matter where they are located in the network, is a single-step process in rule-based security. This allows administrators to manage a consistent security policy throughout the enterprise. ;Rule-based implementation makes it easy to change the security for all the workstations in the network with a single security profile. Because the security profile applies to a Remote Control session, each policy region can have its own security profile (with its own set of rules). ;Click on image for a larger view ;With simple point and click techniques, system administrators can assign file privileges in a Trusted Security Profile ;Security Hierarchy ;Trusted File Commander Plus for Tivoli controls file and directory access during a Remote Control session using Trusted Security Profiles. Each Trusted Security Profile locks down specified files/directories on each workstation. ;The hierarchical structure of Trusted File Commander Plus for Tivoli allows administrators to establish multiple security profiles that are applied at the initiation of a Remote Control session. This flexible feature allows administrators to create an unlimited number of security profiles based on specific security needs. ;The system administrator can make security changes to hundreds of workstations by changing one security profile. For example, the system administrator can restrict access to all spreadsheet files in the corporation by creating a Trusted Security Profile that denies access to *.xls and *.wks files. The above figure illustrates how you can deny access to all program (executable) files. ;At the same time, the system administrator can retain the granular control necessary to secure individual machines. For example, the system administrator can deny access to all Microsoft Word documents on the CEO's workstation by creating a second Trusted Security Profile that applies only to a particular workstation. ;It is possible to add new security profiles or modify existing ones at any time. Trusted File Commander Plus for Tivoli can accommodate changing business environments with a simple adjustment to the Trusted Security Profiles. ;Protection for Profiles ;All Trusted Security Profiles are protected with a digital signature. To open a Trusted Security Profile, a person must have access to the System Control Administrator. The System Control Administrator runs on the system administrator's desktop and is used to configure the Trusted Security Profiles. If someone attempts to open a Trusted Security Profile outside the System Control Administrator, the Trusted Security Profile becomes corrupt and cannot be loaded. Password protection is also available so that a system administrator using the System Control Administrator module must know the password before gaining access to the Trusted Security Profiles. ;Transparent ;The Trusted Security Profile is small (10 - 20K). It loads quickly even over the slowest connections and does not use any bandwidth after the Remote Control session is started. There is little or no impact on the performance of the network or workstation. Transparent to Remote Control users, only the result of the file security assigned to them is visible. ;Platform Independent ;Trusted File Commander Plus for Tivoli works on Windows 95®, Windows 98® or Windows NT®. All Windows operating systems use the same Trusted Security Profile eliminating the need to worry about what operating system is on the target workstations or what the impact of a workstation upgrade will be. This protects your legacy investment while enabling you to invest in the future. It also allows a consistent access policy across disparate operating platforms. ;Trusted Security Profiles can reside on any network or enterprise server including UNIX, TCP/IP, OS/2®, AS400®, Windows NT and Novell®. They can even reside on mainframes as long as the workstation can access the file.
