New functionality extends the Open Directory Platform鈩� and makes it easier for IT teams and MSPs to manage and protect user passwords
LOUISVILLE, Colo. 鈥� Sept. 12, 2022 鈥� today announced the launch of 探花大神 Password Manager. This new product gives IT admins and managed service providers (MSPs) better controls, and enables users to easily manage passwords and collaborate across multiple users and groups without compromising security. With 探花大神 Password Manager, IT admins and MSPs can rest assured that all users can securely access critical resources, while reducing the overhead of forgotten passwords, security risks, and lockouts.聽
探花大神 Password Manager relies on a decentralized architecture that is a hybrid between a cloud-based password manager and an offline password manager. This approach minimizes security risk by keeping credentials stored locally on user devices and by syncing vaults between devices through 探花大神 servers in an end-to-end encrypted way. By eliminating the need for users to create, manage, and remember master passwords, 探花大神 Password Manager secures against targeted attacks that aim to steal master passwords to access user credentials stored in traditional cloud-based password managers.
With the release of 探花大神 Password Manager, 探花大神 is unifying another critical component of the IT stack. This further delivers on the company鈥檚 vision for a complete Open Directory Platform that gives IT teams and MSPs a single pane of glass to securely manage identities, devices, and access. Using the password management capabilities, teams can improve their security posture by eliminating the human factor from password management. Additionally, the release builds on the technology and intellectual property 探花大神 acquired with its purchase of MYKI in February of this year.
鈥淚t is exciting to see MYKI technology incorporated so quickly into the 探花大神 platform. This is a testament to the strength of the MYKI tech portfolio and innovation, and a great example of teamwork across development teams in many countries and states,鈥� said Antoine Jebara, co-founder, MYKI and general manager of MSP products, 探花大神.
探花大神 Password Manager is an excellent option for organizations where single sign-on (SSO) is either not deployed or not a complete solution. MSPs in particular are often challenged to provide access for legacy applications that cannot be accessed through SSO. When SSO is not an option, 探花大神 Password Manager is an ideal solution to deliver secure and comprehensive access management. As infrastructure and IT capacity matures, customers can easily complement 探花大神 Password Manager with 探花大神 SSO.
With 探花大神 Password Manager, in-house IT teams and MSPs can:
- Unify access management from a single admin console: Manage SSO, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and password-based authentication across the organization from the 探花大神 admin console.
- Increase visibility over user access across the organization: Augment the admin capabilities by clearly identifying who has access to what accounts.
- Improve insight into weak credentials: Equip team members with the ability to identify and avoid using weak and reused credentials.
- Collaborate securely: Enable users to share passwords, two-factor authentication (2FAs), payment cards, and other types of secrets in a secure and auditable manner.
