Many enterprises turn to single sign-on (SSO) to reduce password usage. However, a wide range of apps don’t support SSO or use modern identity protocols. To fill the gap, enterprises often use password manager tools designed for personal use, which present various forms of risk:

• These consumer-grade tools may be viable for start-ups or small businesses. But they aren’t designed to secure large, complex enterprises and lack controls and visibility.
• They can also worsen risks caused by employees’ DIY approaches to handling passwords. In many cases, users can still save passwords in their browsers, a key entryway for attackers.

What’s the solution?

Read this whitepaper to learn about best practices for applying enterprise-grade protection to employee’s passwords. In the piece, Gil Rapaport, General Manager, Identity and Access, CyberArk, discusses four key areas:

1. Security-first password storage and retrieval
2. Safe credential management and sharing
3. Frictionless - and secure - user experience
4. End-to-end visibility for IT and security teams

Employees’ passwords should be protected with the same security-first approach that organizations apply to privileged users’ credentials. Meanwhile, the controls should enable a streamlined user experience. This whitepaper provides insights on how to achieve a balance between both areas.
