WALTHAM, MA — (Marketwired) — 07/29/13 — (), the leading provider of next generation application control, announced that Türk Telekom Group, the leading communication and convergence technology group in Turkey, selected Viewfinity Privilege Management to manage and elevate local administrative rights and permissions.
Türk Telekom provides integrated telecommunication services from PSTN and GSM to broadband Internet, providing a modern network infrastructure covering the whole country and with a wide variety of services to residential and commercial customers in Turkey.
Türk Telekom-s IT department manages web-based CRM, SSL-VPN and its internal communications network of more than 15,000 endpoints including IT, administrators/managers and regular users.
“Previously several users held local admin privileges and it was very difficult to manage and created a strain on our IT resources. Viewfinity Privilege Management gave us an automated solution to more efficiently manage the users who do require local admin rights in order the get their jobs done. We can now remove local admin rights without interrupting our users- productivity,” said Asil Dedeo?lu, Team Leader, Infrastructure Systems Management Department, Türk Telekom.
“Through our partnership with Viewfinity, we are able to provide an endpoint security solution that helps our customers achieve their goals for securing their IT infrastructure,” said Mustafa Utku GÖKER, Product Manager of Ekinoks Yaz?l?m. “The removal of local administrative rights from end users is a fundamental security measure. Together with Viewfinity, we provide the most trusted solution aimed at helping to increase security and reduce costs while adhering to least privileges for a better managed desktop environment. We are pleased to partner with Viewfinity to bring its proven, solid solution for eliminating security risks to the Turkish market.”
“With the help of Mustafa Utku GÖKER, we carefully evaluated other solutions from major global vendors and found Viewfinity to be not only the easiest to use, but the most comprehensive, reliable solution for managing and securing our environment,” said Dedeo?lu.
Viewfinity was easy to deploy and quickly integrated and supported the existing infrastructure with no need for additional servers or other equipment. Türk Telekom-s previously attempted to manage privileges using existing Group Policy scripts, but found that the level of automation and granularity required warranted a commercial solution. Viewfinity allowed for broad adoption for locking down the endpoints due to its automated method by which administrative rights are managed. With this level of automation, there is no reason for users to have administrative rights.
Viewfinity provides the only solution which offers complete application control features and administrative privilege capabilities to protect against sophisticated zero-day attacks, malware, and advanced persistent threats. Our next generation application control provides everything needed for whitelisting — from trusted sources and updaters to a cloud-based system which can rank unknown applications, reinforced with managed administrative privileges. Applications not yet classified run in a “greylist mode” and are automatically evaluated and assigned to a white/black list. Our patent-pending forensics automatically tracks file origins to enable better investigation of malware incidents. This fortified approach leads to more secure desktop and server environments, enables high operational IT efficiency via a lower TCO model, and maximizes end user productivity.
