February 27 2012 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Quest Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: QSFT):
Today’s ever-increasing threat landscape has resulted in the
deployment of disparate Identity and Access Management (IAM)
solutions that require an inordinate amount of time, resources and
costs to administer. Unlike traditional IAM platforms, Quest
Software has taken a completely unified approach with Quest One
Identity Solutions, which now is reinforced by the newly acquired
BiTKOO granular access technology. As a result, Quest is uniquely
positioned to deliver the most comprehensive IAM solution on the
market that enables businesses to save time, reduce costs and
increase security.

News Facts:
- Quest Software has expanded its Quest
One Identity Solutions portfolio to deliver the market’s most
robust solution for externalizing, unifying, securing, and
simplifying access control – one of the most troublesome components
of IAM strategy.
- Quest is currently re-branding the
BiTKOO solutions and will soon be releasing Quest One Authorization
Policy Server (the former BiTKOO Keystone solution) and Quest One
Authorization Policy Server for SharePoint (the former BiTKOO
Keystone for SharePoint solution).
- The integration of the Quest One
Identity Solutions portfolio with the Keystone technology of
BiTKOO, a leading externalized authorization management specialist
acquired by Quest in December 2011, extends Quest One’s power,
enabling businesses to save time, reduce costs and increase
security.
- The Quest One Identity Solutions
portfolio further improves access control with:
- Seamless security integration:
BiTKOO technology eliminates a “siloed” and disjointed security
strategy through a security dial tone approach. This “dial tone”
acts as a common security paradigm, which is easily and
consistently implemented and eliminates ad-hoc, inconsistent, and
custom security coding on individual applications.
- Compliance confidence: BiTKOO
technology fully complements Quest One’s powerful capabilities for
gathering information and increasing visibility into who has access
to what, when and how they got it, and how it was approved.
- Fast, cost effective
implementation: The addition of BiTKOO technology rounds out
the Quest One portfolio by providing additional capabilities that
fully support Quest One’s modular and integrated approach, which
can be implemented precisely to the customer’s needs.
- RSA Conference: Quest Software
will showcase its market-leading products at the RSA Conference,
booth 2339 in San Francisco, Feb. 27-March 2.
Supporting Quotes:
- Nick Nikols, vice president and
general manager, Identity and Access Management, Quest
Software“Government regulations and increased security concerns
are critical factors affecting businesses today. Organizations need
the confidence that their enterprises are secure and compliant
without sacrificing business agility. Our core objective with Quest
One is to reduce complexity, cost and risk in the enterprise by
providing a simplified and business-focused approach to identity
and access management. The addition of the BiTKOO technology into
the Quest One Identity Solutions portfolio is a significant
advancement in offering our customers and partners a more complete,
best-in-class identity management solution. With today’s
announcement, Quest has raised the bar for the IAM market and made
costly, ineffective IAM solutions a thing of the past.”
- Blake Cooke, lead developer,
Electronic Services Section of the Franchise Tax
Board“Security is of the utmost importance for our
customers, who rely on us to help them conduct business on the
Internet, so choosing an identity and access management solution
that would allow us to ensure that our users have precise access to
the right applications was no small endeavor. Only Quest, with its
BiTKOO Keystone technology, met our stringent requirements for
compliance, security controls and visibility across the entire
organization. Yet, it was surprisingly simple to deploy. Now
taxpayers, business entities, and tax professionals are able to
conduct business with the FTB through secure self-serve
applications. The shift has improved our customer service and has
freed up our internal resources and personnel, a cost savings we’re
now able to pass on to our end users.”
- Martin Kuppinger, analyst, Kuppinger
Cole“Dynamic authorization management is a core piece of
identity and security services and application security
infrastructures. Quest’s acquisition of BiTKOO makes Quest one of
the vendors with a comprehensive portfolio of IAM solutions and a
really interesting competitor in that market.”
- Todd Rossin, managing partner and
co-founder, IDMWORKS“The Quest One value is realized within the
first few minutes of a demonstration or proof of concept.
Developers are impressed by the flexibility and immediately begin
to think of the opportunities to replace their archaic methods of
implementing authorization within their applications. Our business
community and auditors welcome the adherence to standards (XACML
3.0) and consistency that the technology introduces. In short, it
helps our clients solve complex business issues and provides peace
of mind through innovative and simple solutions.”
