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 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 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.
New features in SPS 6.0:
The classic search interface of SPS is deprecated. If you have not used the new search interface before, read about its main changes compared to the classic search.
To search in the contents of a single session, you cannot use the details > contents tab of the Search interface anymore (except for sessions recorded before the upgrade). For new sessions, download the audit trail and use the search in the Safeguard Desktop Player application. Note that you can search in the contents of audit trails from the web interface, just not for specifics within a single session.
Version 6.0.2 supports the new Safeguard Sessions Appliance 3000 and 3500 appliances. For the technical details of these appliances, see "Hardware specifications" in the Installation Guide.
LDAP and Active Directory policies can be configured more flexibly to check group memberships. Also, to help troubleshoot LDAP-related issues, detailed documentation about how SPS resolves user IDs and group memberships has been added to the documentation.
Old credential store and authentication plugins are deprecated and will not be supported in upcoming releases. For details on updating your plugins, see Upgrading plugins for One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions version 6.0.
If you want to write a new plugin for One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions, you can use the new Plugin SDK for Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS). For details, see the Plugin SDK for Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) documentation.
A new plugin is available for RADIUS multi-factor authentication. For details, see RADIUS Multi-Factor Authentication - Overview and RADIUS Multi-Factor Authentication - Tutorial.

To better integrate SPS with Splunk, a new Splunk app and addon is available. For details, see Using Splunk with One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions.
To solve problems you might encounter when using SPS faster and easier, it is now possible to upload individual hotfix packages to SPS if needed. For details, see "Support hotfixes" in the Administration Guide.
For audit trails of graphical session created and indexed with SPS 6.0, you can use the Safeguard Desktop Player application to search in the contents of the audit trail. For details, see Safeguard Desktop Player User Guide.
