Security Explorer 9.9 - Release Notes

Quest® Security Explorer® 9.9

Quest® Security Explorer® 9.9

About this release

Security Explorer® provides a single console for managing access controls, permissions, and security across Microsoft platforms that span multiple servers. The product provides a broad array of security enhancements including the ability to identify who has rights to resources across the entire organization. It also provides the ability to grant, revoke, clone, modify, and overwrite permissions quickly and from a central location.

Unlike native tools, Security Explorer provides the ability to back up and restore permissions only, ensuring the integrity of data. To help meet auditing requirements, Security Explorer provides convenient reports that can be generated at your convenience. Lastly, the product's cleanup capabilities address common post-migration security issues.

Security Explorer 9.9 is a minor release, with enhanced features and functionality. See New features and Enhancements.
