With its ability to create unique local account passwords for each system in the cross-platform enterprise, Random Password Manager is an essential solution for preventing unauthorized peer-level access throughout the network. It also adds another layer of protection by resolving one of the most critical IT security problems - users running with administrator privileges.
Temporary Credentials
The product provides temporary administrator credentials, granting the appropriate level of audited administrative access that users require to safely accomplish common systems maintenance operations, such as installing applications or device drivers. Most organizations do not grant administrator credentials because of the security implications. Instead, the Help Desk is forced to conduct time consuming remote management of user machines.
Random Password Manager enables a secure gateway to an account/password database where authorized users can retrieve the local password from any web browser. The product randomizes the issued password after a fixed period of time, so the credentials are only useful for a limited period. This solution counters the threat created when users running with administrative privileges accidentally or intentionally introduce malicious software into the network, harm their systems, and corrupt their data.
Security Compliance
This capability helps your organization meet security compliance regulations like Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, and PCI DSS. These regulations stipulate the length of time that administrator or root account passwords remain available, and require organizations to provide proof of the effectiveness of their controls over access to this sensitive information.
