Sharing passwords with new employees over email or unsecured channels not only increases the risk of data breaches but also violates compliance regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2. Poor password practices can leave sensitive credentials vulnerable, exposing organizations to significant security threats and legal repercussions.
In this blog, we’ll explore the key benefits of integrating Zoho Vault with Active Directory, how this integration simplifies IT workflows, and how ADManager Plus can make the process even easier.
The role of Zoho Vault in password management
Zoho Vault is a secure password management solution designed to store, share, and manage sensitive credentials securely.

By integrating Zoho Vault with Active Directory, organizations can automatically assign and revoke password access based on Active Directory user roles, ensuring that new hires immediately gain access to the credentials they need while terminated employees are promptly removed. This integration synchronizes user lifecycle management changes, r educing manual effort and ensuring sensitive credentials remain accessible only to authorized users.
