AGOURA HILLS, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Symark International, developer of the PowerSeries information security
solutions for managing privileged account access, today announced that
PowerBroker, the industry`s most comprehensive solution for authorization and
access control within heterogeneous UNIX/Linux IT environments, was named a
winner of the 2009 Product Innovation Award in the Best in Privileged Access
Management category. This annually venerated award recognizes and honors vendors
from all over the world with innovative and ground-breaking products that are
bringing essential and incremental changes and are setting the bar higher for
others in all areas of information technology.

"It is an honor to have PowerBroker named the winner of the Best in Privileged
Access Management category," said John Mutch, CEO of Symark International. "This
award validates PowerBroker`s proven ability to help organizations maintain
their growing lists of security policies as they relate to managing privileged
account access, something that is particularly challenging as insider threat
continues to plague enterprises in all industries."

Symark PowerBroker is the industry`s most comprehensive solution for
authorization and access control within heterogeneous UNIX/Linux data centers.
It protects the root or "superuser" account from exploitation by rogue employees
or hackers that have obtained the root account password. PowerBroker allows
organizations to comply with PCI DSS, SOX, HIPAA and other regulations by
enabling security managers to adhere to separation of duties and the doctrine of
least privilege by granting selective access based on user defined criteria and
monitoring that access, while safeguarding the root account and controlling
access to applications, commands, directories, files and permissions.

"Increased end-user awareness and ongoing advances in technology are helping to
shape better products and services," said Rake Narang, editor-in-chief, Network
Products Guide. "Symark`s PowerBroker not only bolsters an organization`s
security and compliance efforts by cost-effectively managing administrator
access, but it promotes operational efficiency by automating policy enforcement
across large heterogeneous IT environments. This combination is very appealing
to IT and security managers, making PowerBroker a logical choice for the winner
of the Best in Privileged Access Management category."
