One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions Version 7.0.1 LTS is a maintenance release with known issues. For details, see:
NOTE: For a full list of key features in One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions, see Administration Guide.
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.
Apache lucene database
In SPS 7.0 LTS, One Identity modified the search for screen content in session data to use the Elasticsearch database only. The Apache lucene database support is phased out, but the query language remained lucene-like.
After the switch to the Elasticsearch database, you will be able to access content stored in an Apache lucene database only if you regenerate the content with the reindex tool. For more information, see Regenerate content stored in lucene indices.
Due to the removal of lucene indices, users are not able to search for content in lucene indices with the content request parameter on the /api/audit/sessions and /api/audit/sessions/stats endpoints.
For more information, see "Searching in the session database" in the REST API Reference Guide and "Session statistics" in the REST API Reference Guide.
Additionally, in Reporting, statistics subchapters that included the audit_content filter will not work. Alternatively, you can use Search-based subchapters with the screen.content filter to create statistic reports from connection metadata that included a specific content in the audit trail.
For more information, see "Creating search-based report subchapters from search results" in the Administration Guide.
On the Search page, the Content search option has been deprecated.
Advanced statistics
Creating statistics from custom queries using the Reporting > View & edit subchapters > Advanced statistics page has been deprecated. The /api/configuration/reporting/custom_subchapters REST API endpoint has also been deprecated.
During the upgrade process, existing advanced statistics subchapters and their references are removed from the SPS configuration. Additionally, advanced statistics ACLs assigned to user groups are also removed from the SPS configuration. Note that if a user group only had the advanced statistics ACL assigned under Users & Access Control > Appliance Access, the whole ACL entry is removed during the upgrade process.
Alternatively, you can use search-based subchapters to query connection metadata. For more information, see "Creating search-based report subchapters from search results" in the Administration Guide.
