Password Bouncer eliminates all weak passwords from being used by your end users as old passwords expire and new ones are entered.

Improve Security
User account passwords are the network's principal line of defense against intrusion. Studies have repeatedly shown that 70-80% of all network damage is done with a user that has been authenticated inside a network. Password Bouncer prevents the use of vulnerable passwords on your network, which eliminates the threat of a compromised account being exploited.

 

Provides continuous network protection
Passwords are proactively screened at the time they are changed and when new users are created. Enhances existing security Password Bouncer™ provides additional password policy rules not found in the native operating system, which allows administrators to significantly harden password choices.

 

Delivers immediate enterprise protection
Password Bouncer's rapid installation and policy distribution engine provides immediate password strength and cross-platform support.

 

Installs in minutes
Password Bouncer is part of Avatier's Identity Management Suite (AIMS), which includes User Provisioning, Password Management, and Compliance bundles. Password Bouncer seamlessly integrates with Microsoft Security technologies and can be installed, configured, and deployed in under an hour regardless of the size of your organization.

 

Rapid return on investment
Preventing even the most minor network compromise will immediately result in savings that offset the cost of Password Bouncer, which is the most effective insurance a company can buy. Password Bouncer eliminates the need to constantly audit and discipline users with weak passwords, which saves hundreds of hours of administrative time each year.

 

Improve total cost of ownership
Password Bouncer delivers enhanced password security without requiring any modification to the user's desktop. Password Bouncer eliminates the cost, time, and support overhead of intrusive desktop solutions by managing passwords at the domain controller. Users access the native password change window, which eliminates the need for any additional training or costly deployment tasks.

 

Enforce strong password policies

Extend existing security policies by allowing administrators to establish stronger password policies that:

• Reject passwords that contain common words using language specific dictionaries
• Reject passwords that contain proper names using a 4,000 name wordlist
• Enforce additional custom wordlists with wildcard support
• Enforce the use of upper and lower case characters (mixed case)
• Enforce the use and position of special characters
• Enforce the use and position of numeric characters
• Reject passwords that contain palindromes
• Enforce password length: minimum and maximum
• Reject passwords with repeating sequences or characters

• Exclude username and full name

• Support password history without creating a database of all prior user passwords

 

Selective application of password policies:

• Create unlimited number of password policies

• Apply password policies to one or more connectors such as AD, SAP and Oracle

• Apply password policies to domains groups or individual users

• Apply password policies to connectors or connector groups

 

Enterprise Deployment:

• Web Service Interface

• Discover all domain controllers

• Selective installation on domain controllers

• Selective rebooting of domain controllers

• Real-time view of Password Bouncer filter versions and running status

 

Eliminates common words

Password Bouncer™ has the ability to filter out the use of over a million common words, names from five languages, and from a custom word list. By eliminating the use of common words and names from passwords, Password Bouncer™ will have taken the single most effective step forward to improving password security.

 

Automatic password policy publication

Whenever you establish or modify your password policies, Password Bouncer™ will automatically generate a publishable internal HTML page that clearly explains the policy and requirements.

 

Avatier's Password Bouncer is designed from the ground up to be the state of the art integration platform utilizing the latest in web service technology.

 

Integrated into AIMS™

Avatier's Identity Management Server (AIMS™) has Password Bouncer™ integrated and available for license activation to enforce strong passwords from AIMS™ web interfaces. This cross-platform server is a centralized solution with modules for account creation, self-service password management, and account termination. Organizations can institute a stronger password policy within the AIMS™ platform, but can also enforce the same policy on any active directory account password change made from the users desktop.

Highly configurable

Password Bouncer™ includes very granular password policy rules that allow for highly configurable combinations of required password complexity.

 

User feedback to prompt compliance and policy understanding

Password Bouncer™ will notify the AIMS™ web interface user of what is needed to create a strong password should the one they enter fail the policy. This feedback is detailed and gives the user the necessary information to create their password to meet the network policy.

Transparent Password Synchronization

Password screening is automatic and invisible to the user. The optional change password applet alerts the user to the first rule their rejected password violated and links them to the published password policy for reference.

Maximize scalability

By operating as a function at the domain controller and with the ability to filter for over a million words in less then 0.5 seconds, Password Bouncer™ accommodates the largest environments. Multiple domains may be managed from a single console of Password Bouncer™.

 

Decrease frustration

Secure password policy does not need to be a source of constant frustration for users or management. Following the Password Bouncer™ Implementation Guidelines will ease your user community into the routine of selecting secure passwords while eliminating the individual conflicts with those who have repeatedly struggled to follow the written corporate policy.

 

Act proactively

Passwords are proactively screened at the time they are changed by the user. Unlike password scanning tools that only let you know after the doors have been left open, Password Bouncer™ bars those doors against security breaches due to vulnerable passwords.

 

Make network security a priority for everyone

Protecting the investment that organizations spend on securing the perimeter of their networks, the internal security on the network ("the user's password") is of paramount importance and requires the cooperation of everyone from the CEO to the temporary employee.

 

Overcome human nature

Users will trade network security for convenience by choosing simple and easy-to-remember passwords, even if a strong written policy is in place. Password Bouncer™ takes the decisions about your network security out of the hands of the users and puts it back with security management where it belongs.

 

Improve security

User account passwords are the network's last line of defense against intrusion. Studies have repeatedly shown that 70-80% of all network damage is done by users who are already inside the firewall. Password Bouncer™ prevents the use of vulnerable passwords on your network, which eliminates the threat of a compromised account being exploited.
