Share this Post
About FastTrack Software? FastTrack Software is a global leader in developing tools for systems administrators. With offices in San Francisco, Chicago, New York, London, Münich, and Scandinavia, FastTrack Software was originally founded in Denmark in 2006 by systems administrators with the idea of creating simpler tools for other systems administrators.
What's the Story? FastTrack Software is dedicated to enhancing organizational security by offering an “Admin by Request” privileged access management solution. This tool empowers administrators to control software installations on endpoints, bolstering overall security. Through seamless integration with OPSWAT MetaDefender Cloud on AWS, FastTrack Software delivers value-added services, preventing malicious file uploads and unauthorized software installations. This strategic collaboration not only strengthens their brand, but ensures an unparalleled level of protection for their customers.
Cyberthreats often begin with seemingly harmless software installations. Users, unaware of security risks, may install applications that contain malware or malicious elements. This can lead to severe consequences such as exploited vulnerabilities, compromised user machines, system shutdowns, downtime, ransomware attacks, financial losses, and harm to organizations’ reputation.
FastTrack Software, a global leader in developing system administration tools, recognizes the importance of strengthening and protecting its organizational security infrastructure from pervasive malware threats.
FastTrack’s “Admin by Request” is a privileged access management solution that helps system administrators decide which software users are allowed to install on endpoints, enforcing the security integrity for the whole organization.
The integration of FastTrack Software with OPSWAT MetaDefender Cloud, hosted on AWS North America and AWS EMEA, signifies a groundbreaking step in delivering added value to customers. This collaboration is designed to prevent malicious file uploads and unauthorized software installations on customer networks, strengthening the brand reputation of Admin By Request through its association with MetaDefender Cloud.
FastTrack Software partnered with OPSWAT to deliver an unparalleled level of protection for their customers through the Admin by Request privileged access management solution.
This integration ensures that Admin by Request provides a complete and sustainable file journey, protecting customer systems from the installation of malicious files. It's not just about blocking threats—it's about empowering administrators to efficiently make informed decisions.
MetaDefender Cloud makes sure that the system will not be compromised by malware. The malware diagnosis received by the administrator provides a solid base to decide which files run with administrative privileges, only two clicks away. We are happy that we now provide an even more complex solution that answers our customers' biggest needs.
