Power Tool Framework

Weston Software, Inc.'s patent-pending Power Tool Framework™ merges the SSH protocol, the Microsoft Management Console API, the Windows Audit and Event log API and the Microsoft Windows Security API’s to form a new platform for the secure management of non-Microsoft systems.

Power Tool Framework is developed entirely within the Microsoft .NET Framework as a new Windows-based object file system that is tightly integrated to administrative tasks for controlling and managing non-Microsoft based systems.

While Microsoft has made the API for creating management consoles public, Weston Software, Inc. is the only company that has developed a product that integrates the MMC API, the SSH protocol and the Windows Security Sub-System for securely performing remote task automation of non-Microsoft systems.

The end result of our innovative design are solutions that are easy to use, highly scalable, tightly secured and auditable.

Security auditors love our solution as they can look at the standard Windows event log and easily correlate between the Windows Principle and the Unix Principle showing what events occurred and when they occurred.
