About this release

About the Safeguard product line

The One Identity Safeguard Appliance is built specifically for use only with the Safeguard privileged management software, which is pre-installed and ready for immediate use. The appliance is hardened to ensure the system is secured at the hardware, operating system and software levels. The hardened appliance approach protects the privileged management software from attacks while simplifying deployment and ongoing management -- and shortening the timeframe to value.

Safeguard privileged management software suite

Safeguard privileged management software is used to control, monitor, and govern privileged user accounts and activities to identify possible malicious activities, detect entitlement risks, and provide tamper proof evidence. The Safeguard products also aid incident investigation, forensics work, and compliance efforts.

The Safeguard products' unique strengths are:

  • One-stop solution for all privileged access management needs

  • Easy to deploy and integrate

  • Unparalleled depth of recording

  • Comprehensive risk analysis of entitlements and activities

  • Thorough Governance for privileged account

The suite includes the following modules:

  • One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Passwords automates, controls and secures the process of granting privileged credentials with role-based access management and automated workflows. Deployed on a hardened appliance, Safeguard for Privileged Passwords eliminates concerns about secured access to the solution itself, which helps to speed integration with your systems and IT strategies. Plus, its user-centered design means a small learning curve and the ability to manage passwords from anywhere and using nearly any device. The result is a solution that secures your enterprise and enables your privileged users with a new level of freedom and functionality.

  • One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions is part of One Identity's Privileged Access Management portfolio. Addressing large enterprise needs, Safeguard for Privileged Sessions is a privileged session management solution, which provides industry-leading access control, as well as session monitoring and recording to prevent privileged account misuse, facilitate compliance, and accelerate forensics investigations.

    Safeguard for Privileged Sessions is a quickly deployable enterprise appliance, completely independent from clients and servers - integrating seamlessly into existing networks. It captures the activity data necessary for user profiling and enables full user session drill-down for forensics investigations.

  • One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Analytics integrates data from Safeguard for Privileged Sessions to use as the basis of privileged user behavior analysis. Safeguard for Privileged Analytics uses machine learning algorithms to scrutinize behavioral characteristics and generates user behavior profiles for each individual privileged user. Safeguard for Privileged Analytics compares actual user activity to user profiles in real time and profiles are continually adjusted using machine learning. Safeguard for Privileged Analytics detects anomalies and ranks them based on risk so you can prioritize and take appropriate action - and ultimately prevent data breaches.

Deprecated features

The Splunk forwarder is deprecated

The Splunk forwarder is deprecated as of Safeguard for Privileged Sessions(SPS) 6.7 and will be removed in an upcoming release. One Identity recommends using the universal SIEM forwarder instead.

Content policy biometrics are deprecated

  • Pointing device biometrics - DEPRECATED: This feature is deprecated. Use the same option in Indexer Policies instead.

  • Typing biometrics - DEPRECATED: This feature is deprecated. Use the same option in Indexer Policies instead.

Arguments of Authentication and Authorization and Credential Store plugins that begin with target_ have been deprecated

These arguments were deprecated because the target_host or target_server arguments either contained a hostname or an IP address.

Now, new arguments have been added to the Authentication and Authorization and Credential Store plugins to replace deprecated arguments. The new argument names explicitely define the values they contain. That is, a server_ip argument will always contain an IP address, and a server_hostname argument will always contain a hostname.

The deprecated arguments are the following:

Authentication and Authorization plugin: get_password_list and get_private_key_list input arguments:

  • target_username

  • target_host

  • target_port

  • target_domain

Credential Store plugin: authorize method:

  • target_server

  • target_port

  • target_username
