Businesses today manage a myriad of mission critical information, relying on specific applications to drive processes, and capture and store data. To accomplish this, key personnel need to have access to proprietary systems and data, yet those data and systems still need to be protected. Password protection may already be in place, but to ensure optimal security, companies need enterprise password management. 

According to Secret Server provider, Thycotic, your privileged passwords are your most vulnerable secrets. To effectively protect these secrets, you need enterprise password management. Thycotic’s Secret Server allows you to control access to critical passwords in a central, Web-based password repository. 

Optimal enterprise password management solutions should allow for specific operations and functions, including the ability to manage and organize your passwords, leverage real-time management, ensure program integration, drive compliance and security and protect when disaster recovery is necessary. 

Thycotic’s Secret Server is an enterprise password management system that provides IT professionals with the ability to securely store, distribute and audit an organization’s secrets, including router passwords and service accounts. This approach enables an organization to keep its privileged enterprise password management in line with current technology. 

With the right enterprise password management platform in place, you can easily allow users to access and manage privileged data; assign access to data and actions within the system; allow users to organize information; monitor credentials across the network at specific time intervals to ensure all passwords are valid; allow users to automatically change passwords across different networks; provide users with the ability to login to Web interfaces directly from the browser without revealing the password; ensure the application runs in a FIPS compliant environment; deliver the strongest level of encryption possible; drive support for automatic database and IIS directory backups; and so much more.

Thycotic offers its Secret Server capabilities on free apps for the iPhone (News - Alert) and the BlackBerry. Firefox also delivers an add-on and the company drives maxed out security at all intervals. This ensures the technology your employees are leveraging today can be incorporated into your secure environment. 

Your protected information and your secure passwords are valuable tools for granting – or denying – access to your proprietary information. This information not only needs to be protected, it also needs to be effectively managed by those with the proper access to do so. Secret Server’s enterprise password management platform ensures you have the tools you need at your fingertips to properly manage all passwords and user capabilities to keep your operations running smoothly.
