Hardcoded Passwords & Embedded Credentials
Embedded passwords are a problem because they can be present in companies’ physical and cloud infrastructure. Know how the senhasegura solution can help your organization deal with hard-coded passwords.
The world has been dealing with commercial computing for decades, but it still makes the same mistakes.
One of them refers to the use of hardcoded passwords (or embedded passwords) on systems and devices connected to the corporate network, which makes company data easy targets for malicious intruders.
Embedded passwords are a problem because they can be present in much of a company’s infrastructure. This situation can be found in applications, both on-premises and in the cloud, BIOS and other firmware on computers, mobile devices, servers, network devices such as switches and routers, and IoT devices such as medical equipment.
This becomes a vulnerability because cybercriminals can have knowledge about the router model you use in your company and test previously leaked passwords. Information security is built in layers, don’t let open doors for cybercriminals.
How do we help resolve this vulnerability?
How the senhasegura solution can help your organization to deal with embedded passwords:
The PAM solution connects to the main servers and synchronizes the password change with the database. The application therefore does not lose connection.
The embedded application can access the senhasegura API at any time and receive the updated password of the resource to be accessed.
As a result, this critical data will be inaccessible to all attackers and malicious users.
The senhasegura PAM solution allows the easy removal of encrypted passwords and credentials from data sources through scripts, application codes, configuration files and SSH keys, through servers.
PAM Core – Management of the Full Cycle
of High Privilege Credentials
Centralized access management, with the objective of protecting and controlling the use of generic and high-privilege credentials, providing secure storage, segregation of access and full traceability of use.
When configuring access groups, you can define the administrator users who will be allowed to be given a physical access password and the group of users who can use the remote access provided by the solution to access a target device or system.
All cases can follow multi-level approval workflows and reasons provided by the requesting user.
