BeyondTrust Launches Workforce Passwords Solution

BeyondTrust, the global intelligent identity and access security brand, has introduced Workforce Passwords, an innovative feature integrated into BeyondTrust Password Safe. This feature is designed to provide a secure repository for managing business application passwords. Workforce Passwords is now available with the release of Password Safe 23.2, offering enterprise-grade password management capabilities that extend the same level of scrutiny and security to business application passwords as previously reserved for privileged accounts. With this release, organizations can streamline their tools, reduce expenses, and gain crucial visibility and audit support essential for an enterprise-class solution.

The importance of managing access to employee business accounts has never been more evident. In today’s workplace, employees use a growing array of tools to carry out their daily tasks. These tools encompass various functions, such as design, project management, and collaboration, which may not be visible or controlled by IT due to a lack of single sign-on security integration. Despite this, they might contain sensitive or proprietary information.

Without a proper solution to manage business application passwords, users run the risk of resorting to unsafe password practices, including password reuse, insecure storage, password sharing, and non-compliance with corporate password policies. The new Workforce Passwords add-on assists organizations in bringing employee business passwords under management and controlling access to these essential applications.

Workforce Passwords leverages the robust capabilities of Password Safe, delivering enterprise-level convenience and security for business user applications.

Key benefits of BeyondTrust Workforce Passwords include:

– A user-friendly browser plugin that enhances password retrieval and auto-fill functions through a modern browser extension.

– The convenience of consumer-grade password managers, adapted and secured for enterprise use.

– The option to use personal folders for the secure storage of individual credentials.

– Simple adoption, with rapid value for users who can download the browser extension from the Chrome Web Store or Microsoft Edge Add-on Store.

– Comprehensive audit capabilities that bolster visibility and security.

– Enforcement of password policy compliance across all applications.

Sam Elliott, SVP of Products at BeyondTrust, remarked, “Workforce Passwords reimagines how organizations handle all their passwords across the board, offering a comprehensive solution that safeguards both privileged and non-privileged accounts within a single tool. By enabling organizations to efficiently and securely manage their digital identities, we are setting the stage for cybersecurity advancements that safeguard critical assets in today’s ever-evolving threat landscape.”
