Hitachi ID Privileged Password Manager Solution

IT staff often have administrative access to many systems. When an IT employee with such privileges leaves an organization, it can be difficult to quickly and reliably change every password that the administrator knew and thereby disable their access to sensitive systems.

  • Privileged Password Manager randomizes administrative passwords frequently -- normally every day.
  • When IT workers leave an organization, their ability to request a new password is disabled centrally -- for example by disabling their Active Directory account or revoking their RSA SecurID token.
  • Any passwords that were recently disclosed to the administrator and which have not yet changed are immediately randomized from the Privileged Password Manager web user interface.
  • Any systems which were recently managed by the administrator are identified in a report. Security staff can follow up with a closer examination of those systems.

Using Privileged Password Manager, administrator access is terminated promptly and reliably.
