One Identity, a proven leader in helping organizations get identity and access management (IAM) right, today announced a new version of its One Identity Safeguard privileged access management solution. 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.
Privileged accounts – which govern nearly every component of a company’s IT infrastructure – put sensitive data at risk. As companies increasingly need to provide access to privileged and shared accounts, including corporate accounts for social media channels, they face serious damage to their reputations, or worse, if those credentials fall in the wrong hands. Proper management must embrace cloud, be available on any device, and be delivered in a locked down, preconfigured appliance that minimizes risk and simplifies installation and ongoing maintenance—characteristics of One Identity Safeguard.
“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 general manager of One Identity. “One Identity’s Safeguard, however, is all about actually enabling and capitalizing 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.”
“Get IAM Right”: Key features of One Identity Safeguard 2.0

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:

“One of the biggest challenges we see in deploying privileged management solutions is user acceptance of the technology. One Identity Safeguard reduces this challenge by catering to the flexibility of security pros,” said Kris Zupan, at Rallypoint Solutions. “This flexibility, combined with the extensibility of Safeguard and the unmatched security we have always experienced from One Identity privileged management solutions, will enable us to provide our customers with the security they need and the usability they want.”
