IT done right. According to Gartner, the overall security level of an enterprise is the sum of many security foundation elements: strong perimeter defenses, the proper configuration of system resources and effective controls for resource access. Protecting application and data resources requires, among other things, authenticating the people that access those resources. In turn, the integrity of the authentication process depends on uncompromised, secure passwords. Administrative and privileged passwords introduce the potential for security breaches everywhere in the enterprise. Servers, databases, switches, routers, firewalls and any other hardware or software can have large number of administrative passwords. Often, passwords are insecurely stored in spreadsheets, text files and even as printouts and are shared by a group of administrators. With ManageEngine Password Manager, passwords are no longer the weak link in your security strategy

"Many computer users today have to keep track of dozens of passwords . . . . Some write their passwords on a piece of paper, leaving their accounts vulnerable to thieves or in-house snoops. Others choose the same password for different applications, which makes life easy for intruders of all kinds"
