One Identity Safeguard 2.0 launched

·         One Identity Safeguard 2.0 is first in the industry to offer “Approval Anywhere,” a cloud-based approval workflow that enables security professionals to approve password requests from any device.

·         Hardened appliance form factor locks down application and adds security

·         Solution secures privileged and shared accounts

One Identity, which helps organisations get identity and access management (IAM) right, has a new version of its One Identity Safeguard privileged access management solution available. The new solution, called One Identity Safeguard 2.0, includes new features that enable user flexibility and add redundancy while aiding the security of today’s hybrid infrastructures, including both on-premise and cloud-based applications.

Safeguard 2.0 secures and automates the management of privileged or shared accounts, crucial to mitigating potential data breaches or application misuse and a requirement of several regulatory and industry compliance rules.

“Since privileged account management solutions have been around for a long time, they tend to be stale and lag behind the technologies transforming enterprises for the better,” said John Milburn, President and GM of One Identity. “One Identity’s Safeguard, however, is all about actually enabling and capitalising on new and increasingly popular enterprise approaches that are key to digital transformations underway – like DevOps initiatives, distributed architectures, and the adoption of cloud-based applications – to help drive efficiencies and increase employee productivity in a safe and secure way.”

Key features of One Identity Safeguard 2.0 include:

One Identity Safeguard 2.0 features a completely redesigned user interface that helps customers easily deploy, operate and maintain their privileged password systems. Other notable features include:

An industry first, security admins use cloud-based workflow to securely approve session or password requests from any device.

Hardened appliance form factor: Provides full-disk encryption and an embedded operating system, which has removed unneeded components and disabled console access to permit only secure communications, protecting the solution from host and network-based attacks. An appliance form-factor also allows for rapid deployment; One Identity Safeguard can be up and running in hours.

High availability with appliance clustering: Easily deploy additional One Identity Safeguard appliances, which communicate with each other through clustering, for redundancy as any appliance on the network can fulfil password requests. This deployment model -- which is unique in the industry -- maximises response time, as a request is managed by the appliance closest on the network to the user.

Two-factor authentication: Integrated with One Identity’s cloud-based two-factor authentication solution to enable advanced authentication options for access to the password safe. One Identity includes 25 free licenses of the solution with every Safeguard deployment.

Easy integration of cloud-based applications: apply privileged account policies to these applications and enhance security while capitalising on the efficiencies and cost savings offered by the cloud.
