What's the challenge
Managing passwords is becoming a real nightmare and an important security challenge for IT departments and organizations worldwide. Privileged access to critical assets are protected using shared passwords which can easily lead to data breaches and insider attacks if not managed properly.

Privileged passwords for both administrators and users must be secured in an encrypted and hardened vault without compromising user experience.
