Designed to enhance IT security and streamline the management of local computer administrator accounts, the EmpowerID Local Windows Server Connector addresses the critical challenge of protecting these frequently targeted accounts.
The connector offers seamless integration with both on-premise and cloud-based Windows servers. Its core functionality lies in its ability to efficiently identify, monitor, and manage local users and groups. It places a special emphasis on local administrators, employing a refined inventorying function to comprehensively track user access across servers, thus aiding organizations in upholding compliance with key regulations like SOX, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS.
A pivotal feature of the connector is its automated password management system. Tailored for Windows servers, this system takes charge of rotating and resetting passwords for privileged identities. It extends this management reach to include identities linked to Windows Services and IIS Application Pools, ensuring all such identities align with stringent security protocols.
With the ability to integrate attestation policies, organizations can streamline audit and compliance tasks associated with identities and resource access on the local Windows server. Further enhancing its capabilities, the connector seamlessly pairs with EmpowerID's Privileged Session Manager, delivering adaptive identity verification and offering the functionality to record sessions in the interest of regulatory compliance.
