Microsoft yesterday acquired group policy software developer DesktopStandard. The independent software vendor’s application security tool was not part of the deal. Microsoft obtains DesktopStandard’s GPOVault, ProfileMaker, Dragnet, PolicyMaker Standard Edition, Registry Extension, Share Manager, and Software Update. These applications already integrate with Microsoft’s Active Directory Group Policy management tools. BeyondTrust is now selling the renamed Privilege Manager application security product, which helps prevent desktop security breaches by ensuring that users get only the privileges they need.”]
