Passwords: The dominant authentication method and top cause of data breaches

According to a recent research by Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), 42 percent of IT and security managers indicated that their organization had been breached as a result of a compromised user password. Moreover, 28 percent of respondents indicated phishing email was the means used to harvest employee credentials. These facts reinforce the notion that it's time IT admins decide to make the exclusive usage of traditional username password combo a thing of the past.

ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus is an integrated self-service password management and single sign-on (SSO) solution. It enables admins to:

  1. Handle credential based attacks with advanced password policy controls: ADSelfService Plus offers advanced settings that can effectively curb brute force and dictionary attacks. It can mandate longer passwords, restrict password reuse, the usage of weak or dictionary words, keyboard sequences, palindromes, and repetitive use of characters. Once integrated with the Have I been Pwned API service, it can also stop users from using breached passwords.
  2. Enforce an additional layer of security to laptop logins: Secure local and remote access to Windows, macOS, and Linux logins, with an additional authentication factor like biometrics or YubiKey, to eliminate credential-based cyberattacks.
  3. Reduce the chances of phishing email attacks with SSO: With SSO enabled, phishing email attacks can be curbed. Tricking users will be harder when they don’t have to enter credentials at all.
  4. Empower users with SSPR to facilitate effective password management: Admins can empower users perform self-service password reset (SSPR) on their forgotten Active Directory and cloud passwords, or change their soon-to-expire passwords, without requiring IT assistance.
  5. Improve ROI and comply with all regulations like HIPAA, NIST, CJIS, and PCI DSS.
