Improve Security
User account passwords are the networks 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 eliminate the threat of a compromised account being exploited.

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. These passwords of choice often contain common words, names, or repeated sequences to make them effortless to recall. These same features make the passwords susceptible to even the most basic password hacking tools or just simple guessing. Password Bouncer takes the decisions about your network security out of the hands of the users and puts it back with management where it belongs.

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

Realize 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. By ensuring that ALL the NT/2000 passwords on your network are secure, Password Bouncer eliminates the need to constantly audit and discipline users with weak passwords, saving hundreds of hours and wasted productive time each year.

Minimize Network Deployment Costs
Password Bouncer can be deployed in only five minutes regardless of the size of your enterprise. The resulting password policy is immediately propagated throughout the entire enterprise and whenever there is a change.

Eliminate Desktop Deployment Costs
Enhanced network password security can be instantly achieved without requiring any modification to the users' desktop. Password Bouncer eliminates the cost, time, and support overhead of altering the user experience by screening passwords at the domain controller. Users access the same familiar native password change window eliminating the need for any additional training.

Achieve Ease of Use
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.

Reduce Help Desk Costs
Password Bouncer Deluxe Edition includes Policy Publication™, which allows current password policy settings to be published to an Intranet site for access by the user community. Updates to Password Bouncer DE policies are immediately reflected in the Policy Page so users are able to view current policies when creating their new password.

Maximize Scalability
Multiple domains may be managed from a single console of Password Bouncer. The ability to filter for over 500,000 words in less then 0.5 seconds and simultaneously screen multiple password changes will accommodate the largest environments.

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 eliminate the individual conflicts with those who repeatedly refused to just follow the written corporate policy.
