MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 04/07/09 -- Fox Technologies, Incorporated (www.foxt.com), a leading provider of comprehensive enterprise access management solutions, today announced a managed Unified Data Access Control module within the BoKS Access Control for Servers product family.

The Unified Data Access Control (UDAC) module makes policy-based access control for file systems easier to implement because of the central management by the BoKS Access Control for Server platform. BoKS Access Control for Servers, a core part of the FoxT Enterprise Access Control Management suite, is a non-intrusive solution that provides centralized fine-grained access control, policy-based authentication, privileged account management, and consolidated audit logs and reporting for Microsoft Windows Server 2003/2008, and a wide variety of UNIX and Linux operating systems including virtualized server environments.

"Most modern operating systems already offer functions for file level access control as a part of their standard system, and many are available from platform vendors. We are pleased to announce a non-intrusive, centrally managed Unified Data Access Control module for file level access control as a part of the BoKS infrastructure," stated Subhash Tantry, CEO at FoxT. "We are excited to meet the demand identified by our market research, at price points that are highly competitive for our existing and future customers."

The ability to control access down to the file and object level is an important capability for achieving regulatory compliance and a deeper level of access management. However, the richness and perceived complexity of existing implementations from vendors or third parties has thus far inhibited their use for compliance efforts. "We see organizations either constrained to a single technical platform and single supplier relationships, or implementing cross-platform with third party solutions that are both difficult to install and maintain. These limitations make it difficult for organizations to leverage compliance with PCI, HIPPA, SOX and other regimes," stated David Dingwall, Director of Product Marketing at FoxT.

"BoKS Access Control for Servers makes it significantly easier to implement cross-platform file-level access control management. It is no longer necessary to constrain your implementation to one vendor's operating system to realize the full benefits of these functions. With the introduction of our Unified Data Access Control solution, we automate and standardize the control of file level data, thereby reducing the ongoing costs of managing your multi-regime compliance efforts. Standardizing access management and file access has obvious benefits for our customer's purchasing departments, giving them the ability to select platforms purely on basic cost-per-node criteria," David added. "In addition, third party modules installed in each operating system kernel are also no longer required. We have found these to be an extreme inhibitor to operating system security patching, and a major overhead to a customer's change management processes, further adding to ongoing compliance costs."

"The FoxT Enterprise Access Management solution suite has provided non-kernel intrusive and vendor-neutral application of centralized access control policies for many years," stated Per Eliasson, Vice-President of Engineering at FoxT. "Adding Unified Data Access Control management ensures organizations are able to secure their mission-critical and sensitive information from the growing threat of insider fraud and enables them to meet regulatory requirements. Providing a standardized solution for centralized fine-grained access control, utilizing existing vendor interfaces, allows a customer to implement consistent file-level access controls across diverse technical platforms."
