Single sign-on (SSO)

Centralized reporting
Accurate information for forensics and regulatory compliance. Detailed reports on who was connected, from which systems, at what time and for how long.
Protect critical financial data and information assets from external attacks and the insider threat
Stop credential-based attacks
Genuine but compromised employee logins are now rendered useless to malicious insiders or would-be external attackers.
Prevent careless login behavior
Password sharing, shared workstations left unlocked or logging into multiple computers simultaneously is now eradicated.
Mitigate the risk of malicious activity
Access to any data/resource is now always identifiable and attributed to one individual user. This accountability discourages an insider from acting maliciously and makes all users more careful with their actions.
How financial services organizations benefit from deploying UserLock
Deploy swiftly and scale effortlessly
Working alongside Active Directory, UserLock intervenes during AD authentication. Apply access controls by AD user, group, or OU.
Easily adopted by users
Zero training and zero change for users. Working behind the scenes, for end users UserLock looks and feels like part of the Windows logon interface.
Control "need to know" access
Enforce custom access policies to meet your team's unique needs. Restricting network access on a job-role basis helps ensure employees can only access information they need to do their job.
Protect any windows account with privileged access
Protect any account with privileged access whilst also enhancing the security of all privileged accounts.
Overcome the security risk in Active Directory single sign-on (SSO)
Address the gaps left by SSO to achieve both elevated security and productivity.
Address compliance with industry regulations
Many standards are keenly aware of the importance of the logon and successive actions. UserLock helps ensure access to the network is identifiable, audited and attributed to an individual user.
