These new capabilities enable Mac administrators to solve critical challenges by implementing best practices for controlling privileged access on Macs while at the same time simplifying management of Mac endpoints.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\u201cOur latest security capabilities extend shared account password management (SAPM) from servers, network devices, Windows and Linux endpoints to Mac, while at the same time simplifying Mac application management with Munki support that enables users to install applications without knowing the admin password,\u201d said Bill Mann, chief product officer at Centrify. \u201cThe Centrify Identity Platform secures Mac endpoints as well as Windows and Linux with our market leading Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS) and privileged identity management (PIM) solutions that help stop breaches across endpoints, infrastructure and apps.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Control Shared Passwords<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">It is common for organizations to maintain administrative accounts on their users\u2019 Macs and use the same admin password across all Macs. This introduces risk, because inevitably the password is shared with an end user who needs to install applications on their Mac, or is known by admins who leave the company.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">With this new update, Centrify aims to close this security gap with local administrator password management (LAPM) for Mac that enables administrators to generate a unique administrator password for each Mac. The solution can be enabled for all Macs enrolled in the cloud-based management service, ensuring support for remote machines as well as those on the corporate network. Authorized admins can check out the admin password, and the rotation of the admin password is automated. Who accessed what and when is fully audited across Mac administrative access and all other endpoints and infrastructure and available through comprehensive reporting.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Centrify has announced new enhancements to the Centrify Identity Platform that deliver local administrator password management for Macs and comprehensive Mac application management and software distribution via integration with the Munki open source solution.
