ManageEngine Targets the Enterprise with Latest Privileged Access Management Solution

Dubai, UAE, June 22, 2015 (Newswire.com) - ManageEngine, the real-time IT management company, today announced the general availability of the Enterprise Edition of Password Manager Pro, its privileged access management software. Designed for large enterprises, the new edition combines enterprise-class scalability, security, performance and affordability, facilitating highly secure and easy management of shared sensitive information such as passwords, documents and digital identities.

Privileged accounts, which offer unlimited access privileges, are omnipresent and all pervasive in organizations of all sizes. While the number and mix of privileged accounts in IT enterprises keep growing constantly, cybercriminals are increasingly targeting login credentials of employees and privileged accounts to gain access to IT assets. Identity theft often lies at the root of modern cyberattacks. To effectively combat those attacks, IT enterprises require a reliable and scalable solution that can automate the entire life cycle of privileged password management with a policy-driven approach.

"As enterprises tackle the challenge of privileged access management, they are looking for a full-featured solution that integrates seamlessly with the IT infrastructure. With capabilities like automatic account discovery, ticketing system integration and jump server support, Password Manager Pro meets all enterprise requirements for improved accuracy and efficiency of privileged access management."
