Overview
With more and more security issues coming into the media and more complexity in unified communications and networked devices, password management has become an integral part of IT security. With a sound Password Management policy organisations can take a big step in reducing risk and improving the integrity of networked devices. Data Track's AAAA single sign-on password management solution has been designed to the specification of our most demanding customers.
Who has username and password access your systems?
Most organisations will have several groups with username and password access to one or several networked devices:
- Administrators
- Users
- Technicians
- Engineers
- 3rd Party Maintainers
- Service Providers
- Vendors
- Contractors
The challenges here are simple; how do you effectively manage and maintain security? How do you communicate username and password information? How do you keep updating and changing usernames and passwords? How do you know exactly what work has been done on the device?
Password Management Solution from Data Track - SAMS.
With the introduction of SAMS, Data Track AAAA single sign-on Password Management application, these key issues are addressed is a cohesive, coordinated and centralised manner.
What is SAMS Password Management?
SAMS Password Management is a centralised database that typically sits on the customer's network (although sometimes within a service providers or 3rd party) and stores profiles for both users and devices, allowing for a central administration and controllable password management system.
Firstly, at a basic level, is the devices profile, a detailed list of IP addresses, usernames and passwords. Secondly it stores the Users profile, a list of who can access which device, at which time for what period and with which specific level of authorisation.
The result is that the user (engineer or 3rd party) does not need to know the IP address, username or password of the device, and once on the system (via your normal security and authentication methods) and authenticated by SAMS, they will only be able to select the devices the administrator has profiled them for.
Password management is challenging for organisations, mainly because there are so many devices and often several groups with various levels of authorisation, it is further complicated by the fact that when people leave the company they can easily retain access and password information, where a 3rd party is involved you often don't know when someone has left or someone new has access.
