Securden offers robust protection measures for the vault with a range of controls, including hardening of access to vaults, resilient deployment, and strong data protection approaches.
With a wide range of assessments, reports, alerts, and notifications, Securden provides insight into current password usage, indicates where password practices are poor, highlights password reuse, and flags failure to follow password standards, breach warnings identifying passwords that have been compromised, and more. These measures significantly help reduce password-related risks.
The report highlights the following areas as strengths of Securden:
- Ease of management: Offers a broad range of out-of-the-box integrations including AD, any LDAP-compliant directory service, any SAML-based SSO solution (Okta, GSuite, ADFS, OneLogin, Ping, Azure AD SSO), MFA tools, ticketing systems, and SIEM systems. This allows the solution to be well integrated into the existing technology stack, making it easier to ensure password management is part of the overall security operations process.
- Password policy management: Securden offers a strong set of capabilities. The ability to scan for local account and machine passwords is useful, and when coupled with Securden’s ability to reset machine passwords at scale, it can be a very powerful tool. It can identify accounts that are non-compliant with password policies and recommends remedial measures through actionable reports and dashboard listings. Policies can be enforced upon identification of non-adherence or non-compliance. Its dark web monitoring capability also adds a significant benefit.
- Cross-platform support: Securden provides comprehensive coverage of a wide range of endpoints including browsers, mobile devices, and desktop apps. Secrets management allows for credentials to be called via APIs by developers rather than leaving them in code. Its remote session manager allows operators to connect to machines directly from the vault (via a native tool or RDP) without needing to share or view passwords, providing a secure remote operations platform.
