New Enterprise Password Vault Appliance

Cyber-Ark Software has announced a new appliance-based edition of its Enterprise Password Vault.

The new Enterprise Password Vault Appliance offers complete separation of duties, ensuring that sensitive information is never visible to anyone who does not have explicit permission, and provides the ability to implement a distributed infrastructure with segregation between password repository and the change management component. In addition, capabilities of the Enterprise Password Vault Appliance include:

• Multi-layer Security - The Solutions Vaulting Technology uses multiple layers of security while operating with no open ports for telnet, FTP, HTTP and SMTP. This system protects passwords during transmission as well as at rest. Back-ups are stored, encrypted and are securely extracted from the appliance.
  
• Password Policy Enforcement All privileged and administrative accounts are protected and managed according to customer defined policies to ensure compliance with internal IT procedures and industry regulations.
  
• Audit Reports - Visual security technology enables owners of privileged user accounts to track privileged users and have visibility of audit details. Additionally, Enterprise Password Vault allows auditors to create detailed reports required by Sarbanes-Oxley, PCI, etc. in self-service formats including Microsoft Access and Excel.
  
• Access-Control Mechanisms The Enterprise Password Vault provides a built-in access control mechanism. Users can be allowed to read, write, delete, or administer data according to the access control rules.
  
• Change Management - The Enterprise Password Vault solution provides a tamper proof mechanism for secure access and automates the change management of privileged accounts, embedded passwords, and administrator accounts for any system and application.

Cyber-Ark Software is an Information Security company that develops and markets digital vaults for securing and managing sensitive information within and across global enterprise networks.
