KACE Desktop Authority
Centralized, secure desktop management software for Windows environments. With KACE® Desktop Authority you can proactively configure, manage, secure and support each unique user workspace, quickly and easily, through a single console. Minimize the hassles of deploying and securing individual devices by customizing devices at the first log-in while configuring the firewall and controlling browser security for physical, virtual and published Windows environments.
Secure, privileged access to systems and data
Business stakeholders require greater flexibility in IT operations, but administrators must still maintain a secure and consistent user environment. They can no longer rely on the traditional model of managing only the machine. Each user needs to be granted the right access to the right resources regardless of the device used.
KACE Desktop Authority is the foundation for our centralized, secure desktop management software for Windows environments, KACE Desktop Authority Management Suite. Along with KACE Privilege Manager, you can maintain the balance between security and user productivity while saving IT resources.
