Randomize Passwords

Hitachi ID Privileged Password Manager secures sensitive passwords by periodically randomizing them:

  1. On push-mode servers and applications:
    1. Periodically -- for example, every night between 3AM and 4AM.
    2. When users check passwords back in, after they are finished using them.
    3. When users request a specific password value.
    4. In the event of an urgent termination of a system administrator.

  2. On pull-mode workstations and other devices:
    1. Periodically -- for example, every day.
    2. At a random time-of-day, to prevent transaction bursts.
    3. Opportunistically, whenever network connectivity happens to be available from the workstation to a central server.
