SplashData Launches SplashID Enterprise Password Management
By Jamie Epstein, TMCnet Web Editor
SplashID Enterprise was created in order to provide an enterprise password management solution that would assist IT departments in the process of protecting privileged passwords.
SplashID Enterprise works as a password management and security suite that can be utilized by organizations and be seamlessly integrated with either Windows or Mac OS platforms. This enterprise password management technology enables ITdepartments to have an ultra high level of control over password and security procedures across multiple departments and employee groups that are within an enterprise, the company’s website revealed.
Some of the features of SplashID Enterprise include: support of MySQL server on Windows, Mac, or Linux , a fully secure database of usernames, passwords, documents, and all other records, an administrative control panel designed for IT to use with ease, customizable group-level and user-level permissions and multi-layer database security.
According to the enterprise password management provider, through implementing an enterprise password management solution into daily business operations a company can store their vital passwords and other information while being protected with FIPS-approved 256-bit AES encryption plus additional layers of security; eliminate the need for records to be stored locally on users’ hard drives, thus enabling IT to maintain control over these documents; and have access to a password generator that boasts the capabilities to render very strong, random passwords.
In related enterprise password management news, Thycotic recently published a blog post that spoke about how some enterprises believe that a powerful firewall will keep them safe from cyber attacks; however this notion is completely wrong. “Once a hacker gets through that firewall he’ll head straight to your servers, databases and the other accounts containing sensitive information. Without strong internal password policies, or software to help manage passwords and rotate them to keep hackers guessing, your infrastructure is vulnerable,” the author wrote.
