In practice
Data must be managed centrally and flexibly.
Competent management of data in system houses is extremely complex, because not only the security of company-internal information must be guaranteed, but also of all customer data. Compliance with legal requirements is mandatory, and poses a challenge for a comprehensive password management, especially in very large organisations.
Password Safe offers a secure yet effective way to manage the highly encrypted data centrally. The customizable data structure enables recording of complex contact information and passwords, extending to simple license files and documentation that can be loaded into the database. The system house can make the Password Safe solution available also to its customers, in order to safely support them. Accesses are logged and analyzed at all times.
The employee can access passwords that are required at the customer's site via offline mode, or can alternatively work using the WebViewer.
Complex structures require safe and productive systems.
With structures in the company becoming more complex, the issue of security gains more and more relevance. The work of your system administrators is an important safety factor, because the configuration of firewalls, servers, and access is a highly sensitive area of responsibility. Password Safe offers unbeatable advantages in this case: it allows the authorization based on roles down to the record level.
Thanks to the integrated remote desktop connection and automatic sign-on (SSO), the administrators can effectively authenticate using complex passwords. Password Safe also allows the use of data for automatic logon, without the user being able to view the password. Customizable system tasks periodically send emails and update users on the state of the data. For example, emails can be generated at the start of the week, in which the expired passwords and those that are due to expire in the next few days are listed.
It is necessary to guarantee digital and secure password management.
Banks are high security zones - also in regards to data protection. A particularly high encryption of data, and access to it by means of strictly regulated authentications are among the safety standards. Using Password Safe and Repository guarantees a digital and, at the same time, safe management of passwords. Password letters with outdated passwords are still common in some banks; however, they should have long been a thing of the past.
Our seal system to retrieve the passwords works according to a multi-control principle, which allows a complete logging. A password can only be retrieved based on a previously specified access permission. In addition, removal of a password must be authorized by means of one or more digital signatures. A security officer may be informed via email in case of a sealing break or opening of certain passwords.
Security must be practical, and must rule out risk factors.
Individualized all-round security against paper chaos and risk, when every employee working in the information systems must remember numerous passwords. The more complex the systems, the greater the challenge of managing passwords. Handwritten memos and passwords stored on the server, or extremely simple passwords are widely used to solve this problem.
Especially the countless service accounts, which are “secured” by bad passwords, represent a major security risk for the entire company. The automatic password reset not only produces highly encrypted passwords, but generates new ones time and again, so that a maximum protection of access is always guaranteed. With Password Safe and Repository, all employees can manage their data centrally and reliably. An integrated rights management ensures that employees can only access the data for which they are authorized.
Especially during company rollout, the scalability of the software is in the foreground. Password Safe is operated on multiple application servers and database clusters. In case of a hardware failure, a backup system takes over the reliable recovery of data.
