BeyondTrust Announces PowerBroker Password Safe Version 6.0
August 2016 by Marc Jacob
BeyondTrust announced the release of PowerBroker
Password Safe version 6.0, the company’s privileged password and privileged
session management solution. Including new features designed to help IT
administrators manage and monitor privileged access more effectively,
Password Safe version 6.0 offers enterprises more ways to make privileged
session management scalable, improve workflow, and connect IAM solutions,
providing more security around account access.
PowerBroker Password Safe version 6.0 includes all-new SSH DirectConnect,
which enables enterprises to easily establish SSH sessions via existing
desktop tools, without initiating a Web interface, giving IT administrators
more control without negative operational impact.
With Active/Active targeted password change, agents are built into every
node with Password Safe version 6.0, ensuring complete scalability by
distributing the password change workload. This enables environments with
active/active deployments, such as large enterprises and MSPs, to
selectively process queue items for designated local workgroups.
DirectConnect and Active/Active targeted password change capabilities
eliminate the extra steps that IT administrators must regularly take to
manage and administer privileged password and session management, which
saves time and improves workflow.
In addition, PowerBroker Password Safe version 6.0 also provides seamless
integration with existing identity providers, including SailPoint
IdentityIQ, leveraging enhanced SAML support, which helps IT administrators’
single sign-on initiatives. SailPoint IdentityIQ integration helps IT
organizations enforce a least privilege access model, improving governance
and audit compliance objectives across both privileged and non-privileged
accounts.

PowerBroker Password Safe version 6.0 is available now.
