Latest Version of Thycotic’s Password Management Software Improves Usability and Security
Secret Server 2.0 is the latest release of Thycotic's web-based password management utility. The newest version has incorporated several new features, making password management safer and easier.
Washington, DC, December 06, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Thycotic Software, a Microsoft Gold certified partner, today announced the release of Secret Server 2.0. The latest version optimizes the user’s experience by providing Active Directory integration and a user audit report, adding even more security and functionality to an already reliable password storage program.
Secret Server alleviates the user’s concerns about storage and security of confidential information by allowing customers to store hundreds of secrets on a government encrypted database. Transferring secrets from less secure applications is made simple with Secret Server’s import secret option. This allows users to copy/paste their vital data from Microsoft Excel in less than a minute.
“Secret Server was designed out of a need. We realized that many people needed a service that would store their critical information securely, instead of relying on USB keys that can be lost or databases that can be hacked,” says Jonathan Cogley, CEO of Thycotic Software. “The latest version will make password management easier and more reliable.”
The web-based format allows Secret Server to be used any place that has access to the internet. Proprietary information can be securely retrieved from your neighbor’s house or at a business convention in Japan. Secret Server is also available on many mobile devices and Mac computers.
Best suited for multiple users, Secret Server makes it possible for customers to create groups and securely share passwords with anyone they want within a particular group. Users can also monitor their secrets to see who has accessed them and how many times.
A significant enhancement made to Secret Server is the “secret type designer” feature. Instead of choosing from a list of secret type templates, users can create whatever secret category they want. Typical categories include: credit card information, passwords, email accounts, and product license keys.
Convenience was also addressed in this version of Secret Server. Users can access their secrets while surfing the web. The Web Browser Toolbar (same security as Secret Server) will communicate with Secret Server via web services to see if any passwords match the visited website.
Other features include:
· Active Directory integration available
· New look with easier navigation
· Runs over SSL/HTTPS for added security
· Automatically Generates strong passwords
· Full auditing of all user activity
Secret Server 2.0 is available to single-users for free. For information on how to purchase multiple licenses and how to download Secret Server, please visit www.thesecretserver.com.
