Thycotic Software Ltd. today announces the release of SecretServer 3.1, a password management system for information technology professionals. The latest version features Active Directory synchronization and remote passwordchanging capability, assisting companies that need to comply with password policiesand security compliance requirements such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Secret Server is no longer just a solid secure repository, says Jonathan Cogley,CEO, Thycotic Software. It reaches out to Active Directory, Windows workstationsand beyond to enforce regular password changes to meet security compliancerequirements.
Se cret Server allows information technology administrators to store, view andretrieve passwords and pin codes such as access to routers and root passwords forWindows servers. Administrators can distribute and when necessary, share teampasswords. All information is stored using the government standard for encryptionand each secret is subject to a full audit report.
The Active Directory synchronization functionality and remote password changingadd-on are designed with larger infrastructures in mind. Secret Server will giveIT Managers and team leaders the ability to synchronize users and groups with theirActive Directory. According to the SANS Institute, all system-level passwords(e.g., root, NT admin, application administration accounts) should be changed everythree months. The remote password changing add-on for Secret Server 3.1 willautomatically change remote passwords based on a time set by an administrator.
This feature is critical because it will automatically change your Microsoft SQLServer, Windows account and Active Directory passwords, says Kevin Jones, Senior.Net Developer, Thycotic Software Ltd. These changes will also appear within yourSecret Server, making it easier to meet company and Government security guidelines.
The NIST (National Institution of Standards and Technology) states the primaryreasons for poor password management in a working environment are a reactiveapproach to security and not realizing the financial impact of information securityattacks.
Our goal is to make it easy for IT teams to have a standard method of protectingand using system based passwords, says Cogley. Secret Server is a full-servicepassword management system and will continue to improve based on our customers needs.
