Waltham, MA (USA), Friday – March 30, 2012 — Viewfinity ( http://www.viewfinity.com ), the innovator of privilege management solutions, today announced it is sponsoring a webinar with leading IT news resource InformationWeek on “privilege creep”, the uncontrolled environment that results when IT professionals temporarily grant administrator rights to users who need them in order to a meet a specific business need.

Sean Martin, CISSP, managing director of imsmartin, an internationally-recognized analyst, business, and marketing consulting firm based in Redondo Beach, Calif., will share examples of how privilege creep makes it difficult to keep track of where and why administrator rights have been applied and left open, leaving the organization at risk of misuse and abuse of these privileges. A demonstration of Viewfinity Privilege Management will offer methods to IT security and operations managers for mitigating this risk. The webinar takes place on Tuesday April 3, 2011, at 11:00 a.m. Pacific / 2:00 p.m. ET.
