Communication Devices, Inc. Announces their new Out‐of‐Band Manager software with In Band SSH Secure Operations Terminal Access.
The industry leader in secure operations terminal access, Communications Devices, Inc. (CDI) is pleased to release their much anticipated Out‐Of‐Band Manager software application (OBM Network Enterprise). Providing a complete enterprise solution for SSH terminal management. The patented software system authenticates both user and software use at the client end, eliminating non‐sanctioned SSH clients that proliferate online and which are available for download from untrustworthy sources. Full audit and secure central server keystroke logging, complete the security suite.

•
Database driven SSH terminal connectivity.
•
Keystroke log of all data to a central security server that is out of reach of non‐authorized users.
•
Provides a single set of screens for a "cockpit" view of ALL I/O terminal access.
•
Centralizes control of all command‐line interface "CLI" terminal access.
•

General Information
The CDI Out of Band Manager (OBM) is a central database manager for CDI, and non-CDI, Out of Band Management devices. The windows based software can Manage, Monitor, Control, and Connect, to thousands of CDI and non-CDI devices via SSH, Encrypted Network, Encrypted Dial-up, or GPRS cellular.
The system uses role based security credentials to granulate "who has access to what" in the database and to separate job functions from security administrators through operations engineers, to vendor access.
Security administrators can access the database through client software and add, delete or change credentials for users, devices, or system settings. All access is role based so only those functions granted to that operator are allowed to be performed. All other functions are hidden from that operator.
Day to day NOC engineers, external vendors, offsite personnel, and/or MSP personnel can access the database simultaneously for GUI based connection to remote devices. Each engineer is only allowed access to devices and functions defined in their profile. A simple point and click interface provides ease of access via, SSH, Encrypted Network, Encrypted Dial-up, Secure Dial-up, or GPRS cellular to remote devices in the system. The software allows access to non-CDI devices as well through the same GUI interface.
All terminal keystrokes are logged to the database and all activity is monitored and recorded. A full audit is also stored and can be exported to many popular report formats. Syslog and SNMP messages can be sent to other management systems for even greater central monitoring.
Features
- OBM provides a single "cockpit" control of all the SSH connections on the network. All terminal access can be performed through one application.
- The OBM uses Client Server topology so all database information is stored securely in a central SQL database.
- Role Based Security allows granular control over functions allowed for each engineer or administrator.
- Terminal Access Discovery feature that finds all SSH, Telnet, and browser access on a network and places those devices in the database.
- All Sessions are Two Factor Authenticated to ensure that they are originating from the OBM Manager. This ensures that no rogue copies of SSH can access the network elements.
- All SSH session are "Keystroke Logged" to ensure that all functions performed on the network element are recorded and time-stamped with user information.
- The Network Administrator and/or Security Administrator is now sure that all SSH access is centrally authenticated, audited, and logged.
- All devices are periodically contacted (PING, Telnet, or SSH) to ensure they are responding. Errors can be sent off to Syslog or SNMP engines.
Order Info
- OBM is available for small installs using SQL express or larger installs using SQL 2005
- Contact your CDI support engineer if you need a copy
