• Password Spreadsheet Manager to import spreadsheets with sensitive data (including passwords) to a secure and encrypted password store, with audited and delegated access. Includes CSV spreadsheet import utility and delegation and workflow system.
• SAP Netweaver, McAfee EPO, Oracle WebLogic and IBM WebSphere as management targets. E/RPM can now discover and manage privileged accounts for these systems.
• DSRM (Directory Service Restore Mode) password management. E/RPM is the first product capable of changing this local password found on every domain controller.
• Expanded support for SSH libraries to increase password change speed in large enterprises.

Highlights include:
• 51 percent of respondents have ten or more passwords to remember at work
• 42 percent of those surveyed work in organizations where IT staff are sharing passwords or access to systems or applications
• 26 percent of respondents are aware of an IT staff member abusing a privileged login to illicitly access sensitive information
• 48 percent of respondents work at companies that do not change their privileged passwords within 90 days

These survey results suggest that a fundamental lack of IT security awareness regarding password control and privileged logins may be a primary cause for the rash of data breaches that have occurred in 2011.

Lieberman Software offers privileged identity management solutions, including its flagship Enterprise Random Password Manager (ERPM), which automatically locates every privileged account in the enterprise, frequently changes each account’s password to a unique value and deploys the password changes wherever they are used in the data center. ERPM provides an authoritative audit trail to eliminate anonymous access to privileged accounts and prove that delegated IT personnel are following principles of “least privilege” with respect to access to sensitive data.

The survey was conducted at HP Protect 2011 in Washington D.C. More than 300 IT professionals were anonymously queried.
