Paris, Octobre 29, 2024 – WALLIX (Euronext ALLIX), a European cybersecurity software publisher and recognized leader in identity and access management, offers simple and secure solutions to evolve risk-free in digital and industrial environments. WALLIX announces the launch of WALLIX One Enterprise Vault, a SaaS solution dedicated to personal password management. This digital safe offers comfort to users in their daily digital use, while allowing companies to strengthen their immunity to cyber attacks and data leaks. The solution streamlines access management by centralizing and securing the credentials of the organization’s employees. This makes it easier to share passwords across a team, while ensuring fast and secure connections to applications and data.

Organizations are constantly confronted with new vulnerabilities, largely due to decentralized password and digital identity management. A Gartner TM study ^[1] highlights that 52% of employees admit to having insecure password practices, violating security policies for speed, convenience, or to respond to a business emergency. The proliferation of applications and users also makes it vulnerable to manage access to corporate assets. WALLIX One Enterprise Vault is part of WALLIX’s mission to protect companies’ strategic digital assets, and relies on its WALLIX One IdaaS platform, in order to benefit from all the many operational advantages of SaaS, advanced authentication features, and redundant and ISO 27001 certified French hosting.

Compliance and cybersecurity best practices

Security breaches that are becoming more frequent often involve avoidable human error. By reducing the risks of manual password management and facilitating secure password sharing, WALLIX One Enterprise Vault contributes to compliance with the most rigorous security standards (NIS2 or ISO 27001).

With fully encrypted storage, this solution centralizes credentials and reduces the risk of using weak or reused passwords. With its advanced password generator, users can also create unique and strong passwords, further enhancing access security.

By setting up a secure repository to manage credentials within organizations, WALLIX One Enterprise Vault encourages and secures collaboration between teams who can quickly and easily share sensitive credentials and data without compromising security. The integration of multi-factor authentication (MFA), recommended by the ANSSI since 2021, also adds an additional layer of security to protect access to company resources.

WALLIX One Enterprise Vault integrates privacy “by design”. The data is end-to-end encrypted (WALLIX cannot use the data without the user’s key), thus guaranteeing total confidentiality of the information.

Productivity and improved user experience

WALLIX One Enterprise Vault significantly reduces the workload for administrators while providing a seamless user experience. Whether it’s personal vaults, shared vaults, employees can effectively store identities but also credit cards, notes or attachments, and share sensitive files securely with their employees.

Administrators, on the other hand, see it easier to manage the entire IT infrastructure. User and account master password recovery is automated, user account lifecycle management based on employee movement is simplified, and good security policies are enforced.

Julien Cassignol, CPO of WALLIX, said: ” We are committed to using our expertise in identity and access security for at-risk users, PAM, to protect and manage the access of all employees in the company. Through our SaaS platform WALLIX One, we have the ability to provide simplified identity management (IDaaS), strong and centralized single sign-on (SSO) services and now, a personal password management service with WALLIX One Enterprise Vault. We continue to strengthen the Zero-Trust approach for our customers by requiring users in an organization to prove their identity before verifying and providing permission to access corporate resources and applications. This approach offers an excellent compromise between the comfort and security sought by the users of an organization, which is particularly essential for subcontractors of large groups, for medium-sized companies or SMEs. »
