Netwrix Password Policy Enforcer helps you to secure your network by ensuring that users choose strong passwords. When a user chooses a password that does not comply with the password policy,Password Policy Enforcer immediately rejects the password and tells them why their password was rejected.

Unlike password cracking products that check passwords after they are accepted by the operating system, Password Policy Enforcer checks new passwords immediately to ensure that weak passwords do not jeopardize network security.

You can also use Password Policy Enforcer to ensure that passwords are compatible with other systems, and to synchronize passwords with other networks and applications.

Administration

Netwrix Password Reset is a self-service password management system that helps you to reduce the number of password related help desk calls. Password Reset allows users to securely change their password and unlock their account, even if they have forgotten their password. This section details the different benefits of using Password Reset.

Reduced Costs

Studies into the costs of password management show that between 20% and 40% of help desk calls are password related. Password Reset helps you to reduce the number of these calls.

Increased Productivity

Employee productivity plummets while they wait in the help desk queue to have their password reset. With Password Reset, users can reset their own password in less than two minutes. Users can reset their password from the Windows logon screen, or a mobile device. This frees the help desk to handle more important issues.

Improved Security

Identifying staff over the phone can be difficult, especially in large organizations. Password Reset identifies users by asking them to answer some questions about themselves, and optionally by sending a verification code to their mobile phone. Incorrect answers are logged, and you can configure Password Reset to automatically lock out users who give too many incorrect answers. See the Configuring Password Reset topic for additional information.

Higher Availability

Password Reset is ready to respond to password management requests at any hour of the day and night. It takes only minutes to install, and can handle thousands of requests every hour.
