The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is a physical sciences laboratory and is now part of the United States Department of Commerce. NIST publishes standards across fields including engineering, information technology, neutron research, and more. Recently, NIST released password guidelines in its Special Publication 800-63.
Our IT security expert will explain NIST's password policy recommendations, and reveal how you can easily implement them in your organization to bolster password security. Apart from reinforcing password security, these guidelines can help your organization meet regulatory compliance requirements such as HIPAA and SOX.
Help users maintain a single virtual identity for access to multiple enterprise applications by requiring them to either use SSO and authenticate only once to access many applications or by synchronizing their domain credentials with their enterprise application accounts in real time.
Implement advanced password policy rules such as mandating Unicode characters and banning character repetition. Avert credential-based attacks from all angles by implementing the password policies during password resets and changes using the product and native password changes from the ADUC console and Ctrl+Alt+Del screen.
Notify users, especially remote users with minimal access to the domain, of impending password and account expiration through SMS, mail, or push notifications. Create and schedule alerts that become increasingly imperative as the expiry date nears to ensure users take notice and change their passwords. Reduce help desk load by putting a stop to password reset tickets.
