Privileged credentials need stronger controls
Administrator, service and other privileged credentials can provide extensive access to critical systems, making their protection an important part of an organization's security posture.
Protect privileged credentials
Reduce reliance on spreadsheets, documents and uncontrolled shared passwords by managing privileged credentials in a controlled location.
Control privileged access
Apply appropriate permissions and authentication controls so access to sensitive credentials is limited to authorised users.
Maintain accountability
Centralised auditing helps organizations understand who accessed privileged credentials and how those credentials are being managed.
