Password Management

Cost-savings calculator: Privileged user password management

How does your organization manage the thousands of privileged, administrator and application passwords? Like most organizations, you may have adopted manual processes for managing system passwords or you are not managing them at all. If so, your most sensitive passwords could be widely known and shared among administrators, hard-coded into applications and scripts, rarely changed, and almost impossible to find or re-certify when someone leaves the organization. Manual processes tie up resources and put your sensitive system and application data at risk.

Use this cost savings calculator to see how your organization can reduce operational costs and increase security by eliminating manual server password updates. Fill in all fields below to see how much your organization could save using Cloakware Password Authority.
