Account Reset Console 4.0 is a web-based solution that permits users to conveniently change their own passwords in a secure, audited, and delegated manner. IT groups in large organizations can use the program to strengthens enterprise security by enabling a structured, regular password reset regimen, alerting users of passwords due to expire, providing an identity verification system prior to changing passwords, and requiring users to reset changed passwords on their next logon. Rolf Traichel, IT Manager of Medicine Hat Catholic Board of Education stated: "From a help desk perspective, our biggest issue is students forgetting their passwords. Account Reset Console reduces downtime and work flow interruption because student passwords can be securely reset in two or three minutes without having to call the help desk". In addition Philip Lieberman, president of Lieberman Software said: "If a remote user loses access to the VPN in the middle of the night, and he's working on a customer presentation for the next morning, he can't wait until the help desk is available. With Account Reset Console he could quickly change his own password without disrupting his work or involving the IT staff."
High productivity levels are maintained by permitting delegated users to change their own passwords or unlock their own accounts, and thus the end-users do not lose access to critical systems, and organizations can reduce dependency on 7/24 help desk requirements.
The Account Reset Console is assuring continued compliance with the control and auditing requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, and other regulatory standards.The solution creates a full audit trail of password changes and can identify and close potential security breaches by automatically disabling accounts that are no longer in use. The program enhances an organization's existing oversight control measures through a series of scheduled and on-demand reports that alert senior management to common account issues across the network.
Account Reset Console interfaces with any SQL-capable database, and deploys without installing agents on client systems, ensuring interoperability and integration with an organization's existing IT infrastructure.
