v GO SAM provides quick and secure access to systems and applications for administrators, temporary workers, and others who must share account IDs. v GO SAM plugs a significant security and compliance hole commonly found with shared accounts—accountability.

In many organizations, password management projects are initiated by the IT team. For one Midwest consumer product goods manufacturer, however, the mandate came straight from the executive suite. Frustrated by the hours squandered by users required to remember, manage and manually input six to ten application passwords every day and the additional time involved in resetting forgotten usernames and IDs, senior executives instructed IT staff to find a more efficient sign-on strategy that would also be secure.

Technical Criteria Important to the Selection of Single Sign-OnMost SSO vendors claim to provide single sign-on for the enterprise, and while they technically may be able to demonstrate SSO in a test or RFI environment, buyers would be wise to consider the following additional capabilities and requirements which affect the security, feasibility, and cost of SSO deployments.

v-GO On Demand Fact Sheetv-GO On-Demand delivers the benefits of single sign-on beyond the four walls of the enterprise and removes the limitations of traditional software installation. Employees get fast, secure access to enterprise applications no matter the location, no matter which computer — whether they are traveling away from the office, roaming between computers, or working at a shared workstation not managed by the enterprise.

v-GO Session ManagerKiosk use is expected to increase 60 percent through 2008 as organizations with large numbers of roaming users turn to them for high-volume data access. Kiosks are convenient because users can share them while roaming during their workday without having to run back to their PCs to access various applications and computing resources. But too often users walk away without logging off, potentially exposing sensitive data to the wrong set of eyes. In fields such as health care where kiosks are becoming very popular, this poses a serious security risk.

v-GO Shared Accounts Managerv-GO Shared Accounts Manager provides quick and secure access to systems and applications for administrators, temporary workers, and others who must share account IDs. It enables shared credentials to be securely stored and retrieved, with the needed authorization and usage tracking to improve security, increase accountability, and reduce compliance exposure.

v-GO Provisioning ManagerOrganizations that have deployed Passlogix's v-GO Single Sign-On (v-GO SSO) understand the benefits of automating password management: reduced password-related helpdesk costs, enhanced security and higher employee productivity. These benefits are clear, but they can receive a further boost through the automation of the credential distribution process. And that is precisely what v-GO Provisioning Manager (PM) does. With v-GO PM, administrators can pre-populate end users' v-GO SSO credential stores so that users never have to touch, or even know, their application credentials.

v-GO Authentication ManagerSecurity does not thrive on passwords alone. While still functional, passwords fall short of providing truly secure data protection as required by an increasing number of organizations. More and more businesses and government agencies are turning to strong authentication methods, such as smart cards, biometrics and tokens, to fulfill their data-protection needs.

v-GO Self-Service Password ResetIt happens all the time. A user tries to log into a corporate network but can't remember his or her Windows password when prompted and is locked out of everything. Lock outs cost money because the user can't work and has to call the company's helpdesk to reset the password. As much as 30 percent of all helpdesk calls are password-reset requests, on average taking 20 minutes to resolve and costing more than $23 on helpdesk costs alone, says market research firm Gartner.
