Every IT team needs to use many user IDs and passwords for managing hardware devices, servers and applications. These accounts should be accessible among all members of the IT team. Privileged accounts allow unlimited access to programs and data. If they are not properly secured and maintained, they represent a very high risk to an organization. Sometimes passwords are left as the default or are assigned well-known values and are generally not properly kept. With hundreds of systems and devices, management of shared accounts can become a real challenge. Routine control, updates, and reporting may require significant efforts and productivity tradeoffs. Shared Identity Manager maintains and protects privileged shared accounts of all types, from Active Directory and servers to routers and database systems. The product provides a secure facility for provisioning, accessing, automatic updating, and de-provisioning of shared administrative accounts, to enable centralized control and auditing of all shared accounts in your organization. NOTE: The product is not shareware. Please contact NetWrix Corporation (visit www.netwrix.com) to get price quote for your organization.
