Here,s what they say about their product ------

How do you manage your privileged password accounts?

How does your organization manage the thousands of privileged, administrator and application passwords which your IT administrators, applications, and scripts use to access and maintain your enterprise databases, storage, mainframes, network devices and other applications and systems?

If you're like most organizations, you've adopted manual processes for managing system passwords or you are not managing them at all. As a result, your most sensitive passwords are often widely known and shared among administrators, hard-coded into applications and scripts, rarely--if ever--changed, and almost impossible to find or re-certify when someone changes roles or leaves the organization. Manual processes tie up resources and put your sensitive system and application data at risk.

Many IT compliance requirements magnify the privileged password management problem by requiring unique credentials for each administrator and application-to-application (A2A) account, minimal role entitlements, frequent password updates, and strong passwords.

Why automate the management of administrator and application passwords?
Manual processes simply can't cope with the scale of the password management problem in large IT operations. Expanding, merging or downsizing your IT operations only increases password management risks and pressure from FISMA, FERC, PCI, SOX and HIPAA.

Cloakware Password Authority™ replaces your error-prone manual processes with robust, automated policy-driven processes, enabling you to meet your password compliance requirements and ensure the continuity and security of your IT operations.

Benefits of automated password management
Password Authority benefits organizations through the four "A's" of effective password management:


Assess
Through integration with third-party solutions such as SailPoint, attain 100% coverage of discovering, assessing and eliminating identity management risks throughout the entire password life-cycle
Automate
Cut IT administration costs across the enterprise and increase service levels by eliminating maintenance windows and outages associated with manual password changes
Assure
Assure compliance with GRC requirements and organizational policies for password management
Assure business continuity while under regulatory pressure to manage your privileged passwords
Assure operational continuity and service-level agreements (SLAs) in the wake of network outages, network latency, disasters, and insider threats arising from mergers, downsizing and outsourcing
Audit
Audit all password-related activity through syslog-enabled aggregation, correlation, monitoring, notification, alerts, and reporting
