Lieberman Software has integrated its identity management offering Enterprise Random Password Manager (ERPM), with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server to give enterprises the ability to automatically discover and secure privileged identities present on SharePoint Server sites.
The company said that the privileged identities are accounts that hold elevated permission to access files, install and run programs, and change configuration settings. They exist on most server and desktop operating systems, business applications, databases, web services and network appliances in an organisation.
According to Lieberman Software, SharePoint Server makes use of privileged accounts for its processes. The common management offering for privileged accounts is for IT staff to develop, test, deploy and maintain ad-hoc scripts. Large networks require continuous identification and management of all the privileged identities present in SharePoint Server sites.
The company said that the ERPM automatically discovers all privileged accounts in SharePoint Server sites and also has the ability to grant controlled access to SharePoint Server privileged accounts using a web-based firecall system.
Chris Stoneff, product manager at Lieberman Software, said: “Each SharePoint Server site could have its own set of privileged accounts, and finding and managing these accounts can be difficult. Consequently, most organisations’ privileged account passwords for enterprise applications and services, such as SharePoint Server, are rarely changed.
“This can result in failed security audits and potentially costly data breaches. Fortunately, Enterprise Random Password Manager now provides complete management for all SharePoint Server privileged accounts.”
