What to do when your practice and patients are not developing the way you had imagined?
Though you are a skilled and passionate chiropractor, perhaps you have many patients who are not experiencing the results you expect. Instead, your patients show up with the same complaints and subluxations week after week. Patients who need to lose weight are unable to do so. Patients suffering from all types of conditions, such as fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, and chronic strep throat infections, aren't getting better.
Maybe you are having other frustrations, as well. Small checks from insurance companies as reimbursement for your services are not paying the bills, the staff you've hired to help is not performing, and your debt keeps mounting as you keep your practice running. Your chiropractic school might not have effectively prepared you to run a business. After years of struggling with all these issues, you may have thought about closing your doors and walking away from it all.
But before you close up shop, consider learning more about other ways to enhance your practice techniques, such as using nutrition in practice. But it is important to invest time into learning how to tie nutrition into your practice, and how to make your business run more efficiently.
While there are different muscle- testing techniques you can practice, it is important that you select a program that addresses patient needs as well as your own as a business owner. One option to consider is Nutrition Response Testing.
If you already use synthetic supplements in your practice, you might wonder why they are not working consistently. There is a difference between nutritional supplements made from foods and other natural ingredients and those made synthetically.
When it comes to nutrition, the body needs all of the components of any given nutrient to utilize it. Once you understand this concept, you begin thinking differently about nutrition and the role it plays in optimal health.
Nutrition Response Testing is a system that enables you to communicate with the innate intelligence of your patient's body. Developed by Freddie Ulan, DC, Nutrition Response Testing addresses reoccurring and non- resolving subluxations caused by toxicity, nutritional deficiency, and stress. Built into the idea of this testing is a method of detecting biochemical, neurological, and structural barriers to healing that may be preventing a patient from responding to the correct intervention, and constitutes a way of removing those barriers naturally for optimal results.
To perform Nutrition Response Testing requires becoming fully trained in the technique and mastering it. The nutritional aspect of a patient's case is handled differently than a straight chiropractic adjustment patient. An adjustment patient shows up in your office and gets on your table, then you do most of the work. Through Nutrition Response Testing, you determine the cause of recurring subluxations and chronic health problems, and create a personalized health improvement program the patient carries out between office visits.
Effective training in Nutrition Response Testing will provide you with the tools needed to ensure maximum patient compliance with these programs. Without proper training, the key components needed to ensure that patients remain with you long enough to get results, and who then become a constant source of referrals, won't be fully understood.
Generally speaking, Nutrition Response Testing doesn't diagnose or treat a disease, but a typical program will have two components: analysis and a personalized heath improvement program. The practitioner uses the patient's muscle groups in tandem with acupressure points to locate and stimulate neurological reflexes. Depending on the patient's response, you can ascertain which nutritional supplements and foods are needed to support their return to health.
By systematically implementing this into your standard of care, you can have an extremely successful practice with much happier patients who are now holding their adjustments longer, and routinely recovering from health challenges. This can lead to a tremendous increase in referrals because happy, satisfied patients spread the word.
Naturally, an increase in patient visits can lead to lower marketing overhead and increased income, perhaps even to a cash practice and less stress.
There is nothing more satisfying than being a skilled healer, helping people restore their health, and making a comfortable living. However, as a business owner, you must also learn to increase efficiency and lower overhead. The smartest way to do this is to find a nutrition technique that includes training in practice management such as hiring and training the correct staff, effective low-cost marketing techniques that help you target your ideal patient, and the implementation of easy-to-use systems so that your practice runs smoothly and you have less stress.
A time-tested, workable system for zeroing in on the patient's needs and monitoring their progress.
An effective, standardized system of patient management that allows you to eliminate "problem" patients before they become patients and increases compliance, retention, results, and referrals.
An effective, standardized system of practice management that increases efficiency and lowers overhead; a system that turns patients and staff into cheerleaders who build your practice for you and enables you to hire and train the correct staff.
There are a lot of muscle testing seminars and systems to choose from. It is important to select a program that resonates with you and includes all the above components, so your skills as a healer and business owner can continuously improve.

"Will the folk who have to listen this tale think it?"
All dealers inform tales. And in the event that they do it correct, we think them. We think that wine tastes higher in a $20 glass than a $1 glass.

That's a lesson realized the tough manner by way of telemarketers, cigarette businesses, and sleazy politicians.

Survey results that will be posted in the March Update to the 20th anniversary 2017 edition of IC Insights' McClean Report show that eleven companies are forecast to have semiconductor capital expenditure budgets greater than $1.0 billion in 2017, and account for 78% of total worldwide semiconductor industry capital spending this year (Figure 1). By comparison, there were eight companies in 2013 with capital spending in excess of $1.0 billion. As shown in the figure, three of the top 11 major capital spenders (Intel, GlobalFoundries, and ST) are forecast to increase their semiconductor spending outlays by 25% or more in 2017.
The biggest percentage increase in spending by a major spender in 2016 came from the China-based pure-play foundry SMIC, which ran its fabrication facilities at ≥95% utilization rate for much of last year. SMIC initially set its 2016 capital expenditure budget at $2.1 billion. However, in November, the company raised its spending budget to $2.6 billion, which resulted in outlays that were 87% greater than in 2015.
In contrast to the surge of spending at SMIC last year, the weak DRAM market spurred both Samsung and SK Hynix to reduce their total 2016 capital spending by 13% and 14%, respectively. Although their total outlays declined, both companies increased their spending for 3D NAND flash in 2016. As shown, Micron is forecast to cut its spending by 13% in 2017, even after including Inotera, which was acquired by Micron in December of last year.
In 2016, GlobalFoundries had plenty of capacity available. As a result, the company cut its capital expenditures by a steep 62%. As shown, the company is forecast to increase its spending this year by 33%, the second-largest increase expected among the major spenders (though its 2017 spending total is still expected to be about half of what the company spent in 2015). It is assumed that almost all of the spending increase this year will be targeted at installing advanced processing technology (the company announced that it is focusing its efforts on developing 7nm technology and will skip the 10nm node).
After spending about $1.06 billion last year, Sony is expected to drop out of the major spender listing in 2017 as it winds down its outlays for capacity additions for its image sensor business and its spending drops below $1.0 billion. As shown in Figure 1, ST is expected to replace Sony in the major spender listing this year by increasing its spending by 73% to $1.05 billion. It should be noted that ST has stated that this surge in outlays is expected to be a one year event, after which it will revert back to limiting its capital spending to ≤10% of its sales.

Dawson, John (1819–1902)
from Australian Town and Country Journal
The late Mr. John Dawson was, with one exception, the oldest solicitor in New South Wales. He was born at Weelsby, Lincolnshire, in 1819, and 24 years later came to Australia. Having been articled to Mr. Haywood, a solicitor, at Parramatta, he was subsequently admitted to practice, and was for many years a partner in the firm of B. C. Rodd and Dawson. Subsequently he practised as John Dawson and Son until March last year, when he retired, after having built up a very large practice. A close friend of the late Sir John Robertson and Sir Alfred Stephen, Mr. Dawson was familiarly known as "Honest John." As a philanthropist, he bountifully assisted deserving objects. He had much to do with the establishment of the Industrial Blind Institution, in Boomerang-street, of which he was a trustee, and he held a similar position in connection with the Necropolis, St. Luke's Church, Burword, and Christ Church, Sydney. At the time of its re-organisation, the volunteer movement received enthusiastic advocacy from him, and he was for years captain of the old South Sydney Volunteer Company. Though offered a safe seat on several occasions, the deceased gentleman never took an active part in politics.

Marx: A Discredited...
Marx: A Discredited Theorist or a Far-sighted Prophet?
| 7 May 2018 12:00 AM GMT
Vikas Datta
(Vikas Datta can be contacted at vikas.d@ians.in )
Ahuge statue of Karl Marx was unveiled in his birthplace in the German city of Trier to mark his 200th birth anniversary on May 5 — and it was donated by the Chinese government. But wasn't China's move towards market capitalism, even more than the Soviet Union's demise, the final epitaph for this political economist who had sought to warn us of the crisis of capitalism?
Evidently not. As the 2008 crisis and the subsequent backlash against globalisation, the fears of unbridled capitalism and the apprehension over the virtual economy and technology shows, Marx (1818-83) may have been wrong on a lot of things, but right on others. As such, his relevance has only increased, not decreased in our neo-liberal age.
For one, his theory that society has economic drivers, not just by the ownership of the means of production but also by the relationship between the owners and workers, has been validated. So has been his view of capitalism's propensity for monopoly — borne out by the spate of acquisitions of smaller companies, by bigger ones, especially technology firms.
And then we have long owed to Marx — even though indirectly — benefits like minimum wages, worker protection, welfare systems and social security, unions, paid holidays, scholarship and a progressive income tax, among others.
He is also considered to be one of the founders of modern social sciences, and as a talented economist, helped the world understand capitalism — conceded by no less than billionaire businessman George Soros.
The spectre he warned of in the 19th century may not have come true when his and his associate Friedrich Engels' The Communist Manifesto came out in 1849, for capitalism then was still "floundering, local, fragmented and timid", as former Greek Finance Minister Yannis Varoufakis wrote in an article for The Guardian.
"And yet Marx and Engels took one long look at it and foresaw our globalised, financialised, iron-clad, all-singing-all-dancing capitalism.
Anyone reading the manifesto today will be surprised to discover a picture of a world much like our own, teetering fearfully on the edge of technological innovation," said Varoufakis.
He also contends that the manifesto proved itself "albeit belatedly" as it took the Soviet Union's decline and fall and "the insertion of two billion Chinese and Indian workers into the capitalist labour market for its prediction to be vindicated".
Even The Economist, otherwise no fan, terms Marx a "brilliant thinker" and holds "his diagnosis of capitalism's flaws is surprisingly relevant", for "the post-war consensus that shifted power from capital to labour and produced a 'great compression' in living standards is fading" and capitalism is again out of control.
And it is also obvious why China still venerates him. Its rise from one of the world's poorest countries to an economic powerhouse, even before it labelled its new approach "socialism with Chinese characteristics", was more on Marxist lines — as Linda Yueh argues in the "The Great Economists" (2018) — than what Lenin and his party did in Russia. It was actually Marx's identification with his work's initial but most long-lasting practical manifestation — the Soviet Union — that accounts for most of the opprobrium with which he was, and is, viewed. However, this was a modified form of Marxism, for Lenin, who was an immensely gifted political theorist but intensely practical too, had majorly transformed it. Marxism-Leninism changed the focus from an industrialised state to a developing one, conceived a party to serve as a vanguard for the peasants and workers to seize power, and in the process, gave an entire new meaning to the "dictatorship of the proletariat". Consequently, Marx became identified with a totalitarian system.
But, he was more of a theorist than a man with a definite vision (as like Lenin or Mao were), and he did change his mind on various issues, especially his dismissal of bourgeois democracy as a means to ameliorate the lot of the proletariat. And then Marx was not only about economics. Among his talented group of defenders, Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci and the Frankfurt School of sociologists and cultural theorists showed his theories also explained culture and mass media. There is much we still need to learn from Marx — and (paraphasing him) have nothing to lose but our ignorance. (IANS)

Southern Idaho is about to get another blanket of winter snow. The National Weather Service alert warns of reduced visibility at times and snow accumulations between 1 and 3 inches, plus localized amounts up to 5 inches in the valley. Mountains can expect 5 to 10 inches of snow accumulation. The Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for portions of southeast Oregon and south central and south west Idaho.
The advisory is in effect until 11 am Wednesday morning which means morning commutes can be affected with snow covered roads and limited visibility at times. For school closure updates download our mobile app or check the school closure page.
The weather service warns all drivers to take extra caution on the roads and give yourself extra time for travel. The snow and sketchy travel could be especially bad during the times kids are walking to school and bus stops so be extra alert to watch for kids who may be on the roads.

A business using Artificial Intelligence to develop new methods of teaching and learning has received £150,000 in equity funding from the Bristol Private Equity Club.
Fluence, a member of the globally-acclaimed SETsquared business accelerator in Bristol, has also appointed Bristol Private Equity Club member Jez Williams as chairman, giving it access to his wide expertise.
The firm is working with its first client, Aston University in Birmingham, to deliver personalised Artificial Intelligence curriculum planning tools capable of optimising teaching services and automatically detecting students learning needs and act upon them.
The £150,000 capital injection from Bristol Private Equity Club is part of a £300,000 funding round at the firm, which was founded in 2016 by David and Jennifer Hore, pictured, and also has an office in Birmingham.
It will speed up development of Fluence's product Priorities as well as helping the business expand.
Priorities helps educators detect students' strengths and weaknesses and identifies how they can improve their performance – with minimal human input and taking the guesswork out of education planning.
It does this by reading work submitted by students then making autonomous decisions about what resources to allocate and where they need to improve.
David Hore added: "We are looking at ways that systems can be used to help people in a very positive, ethical way. We have been impressed at the fantastic, pragmatic way that Bristol Private Equity Club has considered our business.
He said Fluence was delighted to be working with Jez Williams, co-founder of Bath-based Purple Secure Systems, which was recognised as the expert provider of high-quality and agile systems and software for national security, defence and government organisations. The firm was acquired by CACI in 2016, 10 years after it was launched.
Bristol Private Equity Club founder Jerry Barnes said: "Fluence is exactly the sort of business we like to invest in as our funds can make a real difference at this stage of its development. It is a leading-edge business in Artificial Intelligence but with a real practical focus on the products it wants to develop and a clear idea of the market it is aiming for.
Launched in 2016, Bristol Private Equity Club now has more than 70 members who offer experience as well as capital with the emphasis on backing projects in the Bristol and Bath area.

JONATHAN Aitken , the Treasury minister, last night unleashed one of the sharpest counter-attacks against the British media when he denounced 'wicked lies' told by the Guardian and Granada TV's World in Action about his business activities. He promised a campaign to drive out 'bent and twisted journalism'.
In a spectacular move to rescue a cabinet career dogged by repeated allegations of impropriety, Mr Aitken announced that he had issued libel writs against the Guardian, its editor-in-chief, Peter Preston, and David Pallister, who wrote yesterday's page one report in conjunction with Granada.
The battle that Mr Aitken has now joined with the media intensified last night when Granada TV defied an explicit threat by Mr Aitken of legal action by transmitting the programme as originally planned, with all the central allegations intact.
The Chief Secretary to the Treasury read a prepared statement at a tense, 10-minute press conference at Tory headquarters but took no questions.
'A confusing old-hat re-hash' of earlier charges about a stay at the Paris Ritz, involving three business associates of the Saudi royal family. He did not meet the businessmen, who did not stay at the Ritz.
Denying the renewed charges as 'either inaccurate, wrong or false' and offering detailed rebuttals - later challenged by the Guardian and Granada - Mr Aitken , himself a former journalist, concluded with a warning to Britain's press, 'the best media in the world and the worst'.
'If it falls to me to start a fight to cut out the cancer of bent and twisted journalism in our country with the simple sword of truth and the trusty shield of fair play, so be it. I am ready for the fight,' he said.
Mr Aitken 's decision to appeal directly to voters via television news came after Granada claimed he had ducked three requests for interview, instead asking for a seven-minute live interview at the end the programme. After his statement, he walked in silence the 200 yards to his Westminster home, flanked by his wife, Lolicia, and his daughter, Victoria.
Mr Aitken , a great-nephew of the press baron, Lord Beaverbrook, is clearly determined to stand his ground with a high-risk strategy. He will pay his own legal costs.
Mr Aitken accused the Guardian of a long campaign to discredit him. He was appointed to the Cabinet last year, after 18 years as a backbencher and business man, and was first enmeshed in a row with the Guardian over payment of a bill at the Paris Ritz. He was cleared of impropriety by the Cabinet Secretary, Sir Robin Butler. After accusing the BBC of anti-Tory bias last month, he was faced with fresh claims by the Independent about BMARC, an arms export firm of which he was once a director.
Senior ministers and Tory officials have evidently decided that - faced with repeated charges of sleaze against the Government - they have little to lose by fighting.
Our story was not – as Mr Aitken has said – a 'bent and twisted' smear by journalists holding 'grievances or grudges'. It was the result of a careful, detailed and lengthy investigation into Mr Aitken 's affairs by the Guardian and a team from Granada TV's World in Action. The idea that this represents 'a small element . . . the cancer of bent and twisted journalism' in Britain today is frankly ludicrous.
The Guardian has not been alone in looking into Mr Aitken 's affairs. Only last month the Independent called on him to resign after exposing the fact that he had been a director of an arms company which exported weapons which ended up in Iran - in direct contravention of British government policy.
Granada TV screened a major investigation into Mr Aitken last night. At the time of the Ritz allegations last year Mr Aitken 's behaviour was called into question by the Times, the Mail, the Mirror, Today and the Daily Telegraph.
This cannot be blithely dismissed as 'a cancer' or 'as bent journalism'.


I like the concept: Antoine, a 25-year-old Aramaic scholar living in Paris, realizes that the reason why he isn't happy is because he is too smart. His intelligence prevents him from ignoring the problems and flaws in society today, keeps him from doing the things that bring pleasure because he thinks too much about the costs and implications and consequences, and of course ostracizes him from the general run of society, who can't deal with him and can't relate to him, just as he can't connect to them. So he decides an unhappy life isn't worth living, and so he will find a way to fix it.
Next, he decides to commit suicide. He joins a society that helps people to do it – it has a new instructor, as the last guy just recently succeeded in putting his theories into practice; he gets a warm round of applause from the newbie and all of the membership – but after sitting through a session on the reasons for and the best means of offing one's self, he decides he can't go through with it.
So Antoine decides to become stupid. He quits his job as a translator of and sometime lecturer on obscure ancient texts; gives away all of his books; alienates his intelligent friends; and becomes – a stockbroker. He starts taking antidepressants, makes a ton of money, buys himself a sports car he can't drive, the whole bit.
That's where the real satire comes in, though there are certainly elements of it before then. The indictment of the "normal" life and goals of the average man is pretty devastating, leaving none of the common accepted goals unskewered. Page mocks dating, employment, wealth, housing, fashion, fame – all of it.
But I guess my problem with the book was, none of those things are me. I don't want oodles of money and a sports car; I don't want to take anti-depressants or drink a whole lot of liquor; I don't want to date hot women who are after my wallet. (I have a hot wife who likes my eyes and my smile and my sense of humor.) I thought Antoine's original life sounded pretty dang good, other than the fact that he just won't quit worrying about it. And since that does apply to me, I got that moral right away. But I kind of already knew that, so I suppose the book wasn't really a revelation for me. I think it probably could be for some people, and since for me it was certainly a quick and easy read, with some truly interesting pieces – his friends, for instance, were great, and there was one that I took as a genuine warning that I should give up one of my worse habits, that of questioning and criticizing everything around me, including my friends; I also really enjoyed the ending, though I thought it was a little abrupt – I think it's worth checking out. At worst, it will be fun; at best it really might be inspiring.
That's kind of all I can say. Oy. Or maybe Oof. Like I've been punched in the stomach.
I mean, I knew it was coming. I knew what happened in 2007 when the economy collapsed. I knew it was because commercial banks turned personal finance accounts into commodities. I knew they overextended themselves, leveraging assets 35-40 times, creating hundreds of billions of dollars of imaginary wealth, largely in order to earn commissions. I knew they made the financial system collapse, and then the government bailed them out with TARP, handing over hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars without any stipulations, because the companies were "too big to fail." I knew that millions of those dollars were used to pay bonuses to the brokers and executives that devastated the economy. I knew that nobody went to jail, and I'm pretty sure that Wall Street is back doing a lot of the same things again, for exactly the same reasons.
But still, having it broken down for me in even greater detail was like getting punched all over again.
It's a pretty good book. I think it didn't quite go basic enough for me, though I liked the way that it was written. Essentially, Michael Lewis — who started as a Wall Street guy back in the 80's — went out and found the people who figured out that the collapse was coming before it came, and reacted accordingly. Then he got the whole story from three of them: a hedge fund manager in California, an investment group, and a small brokerage firm. In each case, these people saw, because of their own unusual perspectives, that there was something deeply flawed about the market in the first half of the 2000's. And they bought and sold based on what they saw, and while the economy collapsed, they made money hand over fist. But it's not a story of capitalism, not really; the overriding impression you get is that these guys went from excited for the opportunity they saw, to deeply disturbed that nobody else could apparently see what was happening, to horrified about how bad the problem was going to get before things simply broke.
And why did all of that happen? Why did everything break? Because people were making money. Sure, doing so was ruining millions of other people; but what does that matter? As long as I get mine.
So yeah, the book made me angry, all over again. I'm sure it won't be the last time I'm angry over the financial system in this country, nor over the collapse, nor over the way our government handled it. But this time I was definitely angry.
So I can't say I recommend the book. It was a little hard to follow, as it assumes a certain basic understanding of bond trading, of interest rates and tranches and collateralized debt obligations, that I didn't really have. It does explain most of the technical matters quite well, but I still had to ask my wife about some of it. And, of course, the subject won't interest most people, and if you are interested, it will likely make you really angry. It did me.
But if you want to get angry — or if you're already angry, and you'd like to know more about why and how — then read it. It tells the story extremely well.
I'd read it 13 1/2 times.
What I really want to do is spin a yarn worthy of this book. Something about how I found it rattling around inside a mandolin that was given to me by a Chupacabra who had disguised himself as a mariachi in order to hide from his family, who didn't understand his determination to give up sucking the blood of goats and stick entirely to turnip juice, which he found much less phlegmy.
But that's not my task. My task here is simply to tell people about this book, and how it was to read it; I have to tell you about Walter Moers's imagination.
So here it is: this is an amazing book. Simply amazing. The cover says that it is "equal parts Douglas Adams, J.K. Rowling, and Shel Silverstein." That's essentially right, though it is honestly not quite as funny and improbably absurd as Douglas Adams's books (But then, what is?). But it does have the same sort of basically shy, unobtrusive main character swept up in events larger than he, though Bluebear does come into his own more than Arthur Dent ever did, and it does have the same no-holds-barred universe, where literally anything is possible: where a character can transform into a fish in midair to save themselves from a fatal plummet off a cliff; where one can walk into the brain of a giant and have adventures accompanied by a thought; where an entire city can exist inside a tornado, and another can launch itself as a giant spaceship. Most importantly for the Adams connection, this book has an explanatory device that functions like the Hitchhiker's Guide: Professor Nightingale's Dictionary, which Bluebear has inside his head, after studying with the Professor himself for a time, and to which he refers whenever he is mystified by his surroundings – which is frequently. Those are some mystifying surroundings.
They are magical, too, which is how like this book is like Rowling's work; the depth and breadth of the world is much like the magical realm of Harry Potter; and this one, too, exists within – or perhaps parallel to – our own world; I wish I could walk into Zamonia just like I wish I could visit Diagon Alley and Hogwarts.
And what's more, this book is illustrated by the author, whose style is much like Silverstein's. As if the wonderful story wasn't enough, he adds these adorable cartoony drawings, just to bring it that much more to life.
There are a few other books and authors that this novel reminds me of: Alice in Wonderland springs to mind, of course, as does Winnie the Pooh, whose sweet innocence and serenity are echoed in Bluebear (Who is also, of course, a bear: one with blue fur, as the name implies). China Mieville's UnLunDun is the most recent book I've read that has the same magical realm close to our world in it, which also brings me to Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, though that book is darker than this one. My own childhood mythology included the Moomintrolls of Tove Jansson (Also European, also translated, also illustrated by the author, as is Bluebear), and in the epic and episodic nature of this adventure, I can see just a little of Don Quixote and my favorite fantasy series, The Lord of the Rings and The Wheel of Time.
It's got a bit of everything, and so I would recommend it to – well, everyone. Quite highly.


Privileged accounts essentially involve significant information security risks: compromising or abuse of privileged access to the system might lead to severe financial and reputational loss of the company. The Privileged Access Management class solutions allow for organizing of password management for administrative accounts and hide these passwords from the employees. But the password management itself is not sufficient, since it does not solve the problem of privileged access abuse. It is required that every session leaves a digital "trace" that facilitates incident investigation and helps to find the problem root cause. Session recording could be such a "trace". Record archive makes it possible to find out, where and what actions have been performed and by whom.
It is required to provide for session video recording.
It is also required to provide for text recording of session. The record should register all the started processes, as well as all the data entered with keyboard.
The records must be stored in archive, along with indication of who has performed actions, account used and the resource (server) where the actions were taken at.
To solve the task, the Indeed Privileged Access Manager (Indeed PAM) software suite uses a session recorder module. The module performs session recording and stores the privileged session archive centrally.
The Indeed PAM session recorder module has the following features.
All recording types (video, text, screenshots) are supported for both RDP and SSH connections.
General architecture scheme of Indeed PAM to solve the session recording task is given below.
This is the core component the of Indeed PAM infrastructure. It is a web application, operating in the Internet Information Services (IIS) server environment. The Indeed PAM server provides for centralized management of system users, user account data and security policies.
The access server is the central part of the privileged access granting scheme. The server provides for access policy compliance, starts an administrator session at the target resource and also carries out text and video recording of sessions. The two-factor authentication is also performed at the access server before starting a privileged session.
The administrator console provides for an interface to configure, manage and check the system operation. An administrator can use the console to allow the users to access their account data, configure access policies, view event and privileged session logs. The administrator console is made as a web application.
The Indeed PAM performs video recording of privileged sessions. All the records are stored in the central archive and are available to administrator via console. Besides video recording, the Indeed PAM can make screenshots of the user display to create a photo archive of the session. Video recording is performed for all types of session (RDP, SSH).
The Indeed PAM also performs text recording of all session types (RDP, SSH). The records are stored in the archive and are available to administrator via console.
The Indeed PAM takes screenshots of privileged sessions periodically. The pictures are stored in the archive and are available for viewing in the administrator console.
