Password Vaulting

Securely Vault and Share Passwords

More than half of organizations share privileged passwords internally. Unfortunately, this process typically consists of writing them down on Post-it notes, sending them through email, or sharing spreadsheets containing master lists of multiple passwords. These methods are extremely insecure and have been linked to breaches. EmpowerID provides a password vault that enables the secure sharing of passwords and other sensitive information such as API keys or digital certificates.

End users can request temporary access to vaulted credentials with granular policies to determine who may request which credentials, for how long, and if the credential’s password should be reset on check-in. Requests can be pre-approved or routed for approval with their status tracked in a business-user friendly interface. Audit logs provide a detailed record of every user’s access to a privileged credential proving who approved the request and for how long the access was granted.

Privileged Account Discovery and Rotation

EmpowerID includes one of the largest libraries of IGA system connectors available. The Privileged Access Management solution benefits from this convergence and leverages these connections to automatically discover and manage privileged accounts on all your systems. EmpowerID discovers privileged identities on a wide variety of systems ranging from modern Cloud systems such as Azure AD, AWS, ServiceNow and others to traditional on-premise systems such as Active Directory, Linux, and RACF. Once identified, these privileged identities can be recertified, assigned to owners, and managed through their lifecycle. For application and service accounts, passwords can be set to rotate on a schedule thereby reducing the window of opportunity for hackers to compromise a password.

Chat Bot Virtual Assistant for PAM

Empower users to perform privileged access self-service automation through an intelligent chat bot virtual assistant. The EmpowerID chat bot enables users to perform common privileged access management tasks at any time using their preferred communication channel (SMS, Teams, web, mobile, ServiceNow portal). Behind the scenes, the chat bot interacts with EmpowerID’s visually designed workflows to securely automate PAM processes that interact with privileged identities in your Cloud and on-premise systems.

Empower end users with self-service for repetitive tasks like:

  • Temporary role-based access elevation
  • SAP firefighter emergency access requests
  • Privileged credential vaulting
  • Privileged credential check-out and check-in
  • Vaulting of personal secrets and viewing
  • Expose any additional PAM workflows to end users through the chat bot
