Administrator and Application Password Management Solutions and Services

How secure are your administrator and applicaton password accounts?Today, meeting your Governance, Risk Management and Compliance (GRC) requirements includes managing your privileged passwords in the datacenter.

Whether you're in business or in government, if you're responsible for securing your organization's critical data and IT infrastructure you face the challenge of complying with complex GRC requirements while maintaining business continuity.

PCI-DSS, FISMA, NIST, HIPAA, SOX, CERT, PIPEDA, MITS and many other forms of regulation either implicitly or explicitly require that privileged passwords used in IT operations be managed throughout their life cycle. Auditors are increasingly aware of the risks of unmanaged privileged passwords and are requiring organizations to adopt solutions.

Cloakware products and services can help you meet your GRC objectives while ensuring business continuity and the security of your mission-critical data and IT infrastructure.

Administrator and Application Password Management Solutions

Cloakware Password Authority™ is an enterprise-grade privileged password management solution that automates the life-cycle management of privileged passwords. It enforces your policies for who and what can access your most sensitive data and systems, eliminates the often overlooked risks of hard-coded application-to-application (A2A) passwords and increases operational continuity while reducing operational costs.

Professional Services

There are four important steps in a project to meet GRC requirements for Identity and Access Management (IAM)—what we call "the four A's" of password management:

  • Assess where your identity management risks lie by discovering unmanaged A2A and shared administrator passwords.
  • Automate your processes for managing the life cycle of privileged passwords.
  • Assure that you meet your regulatory and business requirements through enforceable password management policies.
  • Audit your password management processes to ensure 100% coverage of risk and enforcement of policies.

Working with our world-class partners, our Professional Services team can help you achieve the four A's of privileged password management in an integrated solution.
