Password Safe is BeyondTrust’s flagship privileged account and session management (PASM) solution. In a new executive view report, analyst firm KuppingerCole takes a deep dive into the product’s shared account password management and session management capabilities and explores how the integrations with other components in the BeyondTrust PAM platform “represents one of the most comprehensive PAM solutions in the market today."
Preventing Privileged Credential Abuse
Between the abuse of shared credentials by employees and third parties, and the hijacking of privileged credentials by cyber criminals, most data breaches involve the exploit of unsecured privileged account passwords. As the KuppingerCole report explains, Password Safe defends against this attack vector by continuously discovering vulnerable privileged credentials (passwords, SSH keys, etc.), along with systems, devices, and accounts on an organization’s network.
Password Safe securely stores the credentials in a password vault, rotates the credentials (according to policy), and enforces unique passwords across all accounts. And, by documenting all session transactions performed, access activity reports are easily digested by management or during security compliance audits. With Password Safe, organizations can provide the access to systems that employees and contractors need to complete their work-related tasks, while ensuring password security best practices are consistently applied.
