promising business model, as well as potential market impact," said Sandra

the outlined criteria, but has also shown the capability to advance the
industry with innovative technology."
Paramount Defenses Inc. is engaged in the development and delivery of
the world's first dedicated platform independent IT security infrastructure
protection solution.
The company is the brainchild of Sanjay Tandon, formerly Program
Manager for Active Directory security at Microsoft Corporation (2001 - 05).
From the White House to the British Houses of Parliament and from Corporate
America to the business corridors of Asia, as the foundation of a Microsoft
Windows Server based IT infrastructure, Active Directory is the foundation
of IT security infrastructures at over 80% of organizations worldwide.
The company also develops select innovative security solutions aimed at
solving pervasive security problems. Gold Finger, its first product, built
on patent pending technology, helps organizations combat excessive access,
one of the leading causes of information security breaches around the
world, by identifying access entitlements conferred upon employees,
administrators, guests, and other stakeholders across the enterprise, at
the touch of a button.
Quoting Tandon, "Gold Finger was designed to significantly simplify and
increase security -- at the touch of a button, you can instantly determine
precisely what any user in the company can do, or how many people in the
company can compromise the CEO's identity, and so on. That's invaluable
information, delivered at the touch of a button."
Access entitlement assessment is an essential information security risk
management capability as it empowers organizations to identify and
eliminate excessive access based vulnerabilities before they can be
exploited to inflict damage.
Paramount Defenses Inc. will unveil the Gold Finger v1, at the RSA
Conference to an audience of over 15,000 attendees at the Innovation
Station pavilion at booth 1338.
