In every organization there are lots of shared user accounts for managing critical servers, domain controllers and applications. These accounts have extensive rights and unlimited access to critical system resources. The information of which account is accessed by whom, restricting the access and providing time bound access to such accounts is very much needed for the overall IT security of the enterprise. Secure usage of such accounts is the top most priority for a safe IT enterprise and audit compliance.
With hundreds of systems and applications, the management of privileged accounts can become a real challenge and time consuming effort that affects the productivity significantly. For doing routine tasks, administrator or IT team members require the access to privileged accounts. The task of tracking which employee is accessing what privileged account and the duration for which it is accessed is a tedious effort for the administrator.
