Password management software for enhanced security and effortless access

Password Manager Pro is everything you need it to be

ManageEngine Password Manager Pro is an enterprise grade password manager that provides centralized management of enterprise credentials. It takes a step beyond just vaulting sensitive credentials, to streamlining privileged account governance by enabling administrators to take control over the actions that are performed with those passwords. Let us delve deep to understand the features that make Password Manager Pro the ideal choice for your enterprise password management needs.

01. Consolidate all passwords under a single roof

Password Manager Pro serves as a unified, encrypted repository for storing business-critical identities like passwords, SSH keys, TLS certificates, service accounts, auth tokens etc. With secure encryption and access protocols in place, this tool enables administrators to carry out password operations in bulk and maintain a tightly-knit enterprise infrastructure.

02. Perform password reset for critical resources

With sensitive endpoints accessed frequently, it is imperative for administrators to perform health checks on password usage and rotate them periodically to prevent credential abuse. Password Manager Pro provides exclusive capabilities to schedule and perform password resets for a wide range of resources, including applications, devices, databases, virtual devices, and service accounts.

03. Role-based access control

Both employees who access privileged resources on a regular basis, and third-party collaborators who require occasional access, can be granted just-enough permissions (also known as POLP or the principle of least privilege) to perform business-critical operations through role-based access control. As much as access provisioning is emphasized, revoking user permissions is equally important. This prevents accumulation of excessive privileges that could cause data exfiltration, if mismanaged.

04. Initiate secure sessions to remote endpoints

Password Manager Pro provides admins with one-click secure access to remote endpoints (RDP, SSH, VNC, and SQL) without the hassle of having to reveal the passwords to users. Enforcing this control as a time-based permission enables users to handle sessions only for a stipulated period of time after which privilege revocations will be implemented and the user will be left with their default access privileges on the privilege ladder. Besides this, admins have privileges to join sessions in real time and view recordings of completed sessions when anomalies arise.

05. Comprehensive audits and compliance reporting

Some of the privileged tasks performed within an enterprise include IT administrators, and managing user onboarding and offboarding. Considering the various types of privileged tasks that are performed on an everyday basis, logging activities in the form of reports provides a comprehensive view into the PAM environment of the organization. Password Manager Pro helps administrators achieve this by delivering reports on password activities, adherence with industry regulations (SOX, HIPAA, ISO/IEC, PCI DSS), managing synchronization schedules with password reset, and more.

How important is password management for organizations?

Conventionally, organizations previously managed passwords in spreadsheets or plain text formats. While this might still be feasible for small workforces, the burden on administrative teams to maintain large volumes of data increases, and especially as services expand. It's not as practical for most organizations any longer.

Incorporating password managers into enterprise routines is the preliminary step to securing sensitive data. The objective of adopting password management strategies is to ensure that privileged credentials, as well as the access to them, are routed through secure pathways while being accessed from multiple networks, geographies, and remote endpoints. This provides a transparent view of the enterprise infrastructure and enables administrators to stay proactive about anomalies that arise.

Benefits of using a password management tool

Password managers act as the cornerstones of managing enterprise identities. While emphasizing the need to adopt one, here is what a password manager provides beyond vaulting:

• Centralized, secure access to business critical information
• Strong multi-factor authentication
• Single-click passwordless access to remote endpoints that enables admins to collaborate in real time and monitor infrastructures
• Enforce selective sharing of data and track scheduled password usage password resets on target endpoints
• Provide exclusive break-glass controls to administrators and monitor every action on the PAM environment with end-to-end compliance reports

Alternatives for cloud password management solution

While we speak of managing passwords at a larger scale, if you are on the lookout for a cloud-based password manager to organize and look after your personal passwords as well, Zoho Vault will help you manage all your password vaulting needs.
