Shared Administrative and Embedded Application Passwords – How to Secure, Effectively Manage, and Meet Compliance Requirements.
Securely storing, auditing use, segregating access, and automatically changing shared privileged accounts such as Windows Local Admin/Domain Admin/Service Accounts, Unix Root, Oracle Sys/System, SQL-Server SA and Cisco Enable is certainly a challenge. Existing identity management tools such as directories and single sign on do not address these identities which are the most powerful and sensitive in the organization. Mismanagement of these accounts may lead to their exploit, loss or exposure, failed audit, security catastrophe, and a long recovery process.
Identity Management for Privileged Accounts includes the following requirements:
- Frequent and automatic password changes of shared privileged accounts
- Automatically remove privileged access should someone on the IT staff leave the organization
- Verification to ensure correct admin passwords are always available
- Never have to remember shared/generic passwords again
- Strong auditing of privileged passwords usage to ensure accountability
- Remove clear text passwords embedded in scripts, and automatically change them
