Technology Scales to Manage Millions of Privileged and A2A Passwords
Across Multiple Datacenters
VIENNA, Va.–(EMWNews)–Cloakware Inc., the security solutions provider that makes security
inseparable from software, today announced the immediate availability of
Cloakware Server Password Manager (CSPM) version 3.5, the first
enterprise-grade Shared Account Password Management (SAPM) platform
designed to support multi-site, heterogeneous and high-volume
datacenters. CSPM 3.5 delivers enhanced performance and scalability to
meet the password management needs of the largest organizations, ensures
high availability in distributed networks, and improves integration with
heterogeneous datacenters without system interruption or downtime.
Many organizations perceive privileged and application-to-application
(A2A) password management technology as cost-prohibitive, difficult to
implement and impossible to manage. The enhanced version of CSPM removes
these roadblocks with streamlined deployment options, improved
integration into existing environments and superior scalability and
reliability. CSPM manages millions of privileged and A2A passwords,
making it easier for organizations of any size or complexity to improve
compliance, protect confidential data, decrease system downtime and
lower operating costs across the enterprise.
“Industry analysts agree that privileged and
A2A password management can no longer be an afterthought for
organizations. Networks, systems, critical infrastructure, applications,
sensitive information and intellectual property can all be compromised
if these passwords are mishandled or left unchanged,”
said David Canellos, COO and president of Cloakware. “CSPM
3.5 makes automated password management attractive to SMBs and large
organizations without disrupting their day-to-day operations.”
CSPM version 3.5 delivers the following major enhancements:
-
Reliability and Robustness Across Multiple Sites – New
deployment options mean that a single CSPM deployment can be spread
over multiple datacenters with the primary installation as the core of
the deployment and the secondary instances in remote datacenters. In
this architecture, clients can connect to any CSPM instance resulting
in even faster response times and high availability without network
interruption.
-
Plug & Play Application Server Support –
Java adds a level of complexity to managing application passwords
since applications that run inside a Java container (such as WebLogic,
WebShpere, JBOSS and Tomcat) rely on the container to establish a
secure, shared connection to other programs and databases. CSPM 3.5
integrates into the shared connection and provides passwords on
demand. Further, CSPM can change passwords without having to shut down
and restart the Java container service. This results in uninterrupted
operations and is achieved without changing the applications.
-
Scalability – CSPM scales to provide
the infrastructure support services necessary for a robust and secure
installation regardless of the size of the installation or the number
of passwords under management. Fundamental tasks, such as data
archiving and database re-encryption are broken down into smaller “chunks.”
CSPM completes each task in real-time and does so without interrupting
other system activities, or overall system availability.
-
Integration – CSPM supports the
preferred infrastructure components adopted by most organizations.
Leveraging existing software licensing agreements reduces total cost
of ownership and allows IT staff to continue managing the systems they
are most familiar with, avoiding lengthy learning curves. In this
release, DB2 joins Oracle, MS-SQL, Sybase and MySQL as supported
choices for the CSPM password repository.
