Orlando, FL (PRWEB) February 25, 2004

Protocom Development Systems recently conducted a password usage survey on www. protocom. com. Survey results once again confirm that the poor password habits of network users are the cause of significant security risks for enterprises. It is increasingly apparent that the management of user credentials continues to be a major concern for business, and security officers must remain diligent in the management of user access to corporate resources and competitively sensitive information.

Protocom today announces the availability of SecureLogin Single Sign-On v3.5.1. SecureLogin is the most advanced single sign-on solution in the market today, and the only solution positioned to address full credential management for enterprises. First released in 1997, Protocom SecureLogin® Single Sign-On v3.5.1 is a key component of the SecureLogin Password Management Suite that consists of single sign-on; self-service password reset; and advanced (strong) authentication methods.

“The password survey confirms that employees are using common passwords across applications and systems. If they also write that password down, or use a common password to access public sites as well as sensitive, corporate applications, organizations are at greater risk of network security breaches. The challenge security officer’s face is the enforcement of password policies when the application is not written to do so,” said Jason Hart, Protocom’s Chief Executive Officer. “Enterprise single sign-on should not only deliver one strong login to the network, but should be able to generate and maintain unique, random passwords to competitively sensitive applications.”
