Password reset tickets: the bane of both IT teams and end users. When the number of password reset tickets increases, IT teams often push more critical issues down the queue so users don't have to put their work on hold for too long while their passwords are reset. When left unchecked, password reset tickets can become expensive, since close to 30% of all help desk tickets are caused by forgotten passwords. Unsurprisingly, several large businesses have spent over $1 million trying to resolve password-related help desk calls.
ADSelfService Plus is an identity security solution with multi-factor authentication (MFA), single sign-on, and self-service password management capabilities that can eliminate password reset tickets. Simply put, whether it's a forgotten Microsoft 365 or Active Directory (AD) password, ADSelfService Plus enables users to reset their passwords on their own without IT assistance.
With the adoption of cloud applications and bring your own device (BYOD) policies increasing, users are leveraging multiple access points aside from their Windows PC to complete their work. ADSelfService Plus enables users to perform self-service password reset and account unlock regardless of whether they're in the office, on the move, or at home.
ADSelfService Plus supports multiple user directories for self-service password reset, including AD, OpenLDAP, AD LDS, Google Workspace, MS SQL, Salesforce, Microsoft 365, AS400, HP UX, and Oracle DB.
ADSelfService Plus enables admins to trigger a preconfigured authentication workflow once users initiate a self-service password reset request. It offers 19 different authentication techniques including biometrics and YubiKey to authenticate users during self-service password reset and account unlock. Some users have access to sensitive business data, and if their accounts are cracked by a malicious hacker, it can lead to disastrous consequences. To combat this, ADSelfService Plus offers admins the option to enforce different authentication types for different types of users.
ADSelfService Plus' conditional access policies allow admins to set context-based rules to raise or lower the authentication flow set for self-service password reset. The authentication factors are altered based on the IP address, time of request, device used, and the geolocation of a user. For example, if a self-service password reset request is received from an untrusted IP address, the user might be required to go through three factors of identity verification, the mandatory one being a biometric factor.
ADSelfService Plus' Password Policy Enforcer ensures stringent password policies that prevent the use of patterns, dictionary words, and repetition in newly created passwords. Also, through Have I been Pwned integration, ADSelfService Plus can ban breached passwords from your organization. This thwarts multiple password-based cyberattacks including brute-force, credential stuffing, and dictionary attacks.
ADSelfService Plus allows users to reset their passwords securely from anywhere, at any time. They can reset their passwords even when they are not connected to the organization's network with the cached credentials update feature in ADSelfService Plus. This ensures uninterrupted user productivity and lessens the workload on the IT desk.
