Password Policy - Avatier Identity Management

Implementing a password policy that will secure your corporation’s confidential information can be a challenge. Studies have shown that a skilled hacker can crack more than 1,000 different computer passwords in only an hour or two. However, when you have a strong password policy in place, employees are forced to meet certain requirements when they create their passwords, which become much more difficult to crack. A hacker will often give up if the process is taking too long. The best way to ensure that password policies are upheld is by installing Password Bouncer and Password Station, both from Avatier, the global leader in creating password policies’ best software.

Improve Your Password Policy With Avatier Identity Management

When your company has Password Bouncer and Password Station , you will immediately see a dramatic increase in the security of your company’s confidential information as well as a dramatic reduction in the amount of password-related calls to the help desk. When your employees are first choosing their password, they will find they are no longer be able to pick the name of their wife, child, or pet. They will have to adhere to whatever regulations you choose, like a password must be more than 8 characters with 3 capital letters, 2 numbers, and 3 symbols. If a password doesn’t meet your standards, it will be “bounced” out of the system and the employee will have to try again. Once they have successfully created a password, it will immediately be synchronized across all of the employee’s applications, so each employee only has one password to remember. However, if a password is forgotten, Password Station will guide the employee through resetting their password quickly and securely without calling the help desk.

With a Password Bouncer policy and Password Station 2.0 in place, private information will remain just that – private. Contact an Avatier representative today to find out more about these two password policy programs.
