Password Manager Pro - An Overview5 minutes to read
In this modern age of IT revolution, infrastructure setups are comprised of an ever-growing mix of critical assets spanning across physical, virtual, and cloud platforms. Apart from that, every enterprise also runs numerous business applications that deal with sensitive intellectual property and strategic information. But, as businesses grow thus, so do cyber risks. Today's cyber criminals constantly attempt to gain access to sensitive IT resources in an enterprise by compromising privileged accounts, the proverbial 'keys to the kingdom'. Once an attacker manages to acquire a privileged account credential, breaking in to the enterprise's IT network becomes a child's play. To thwart such threats and stay in control, we need to put tighter locks on privileged accounts and also keep a round-the-clock check on privileged access by employees and third parties likewise. Proper management of privileged accounts eventually calls for protecting the administrative passwords of such respective accounts. However, in any large organization with an extensive infrastructure, administrative passwords will be in thousands. Consequently, it becomes a daunting task for anyone to keep track of all the passwords. Users tend to store the user name and password information somewhere in their system locally or in a central location when multiple administrators need to use the information. The only way out is the use of a secure password management solution that enables safe storage of administrative passwords in a centralized medium, offering the flexibility to share them among multiple users based on fine-grained user authorization. The following topics are discussed further in this document:
