Safestone Technologies, supplier of System i security and compliance solutions, has announced a complimentary evaluation offer for its password management solution, Password Self Help.

Password Self Help is part of the DetectIT family of security solutions and is currently being used by large organizations worldwide to reduce the costs associated with password reset requests.
Managing user password resets costs organizations time and money. Gartner estimates that 30 percent of calls to the help desk are internal requests for password resets, limiting productivity and adversely impacting already over-burdened IT resources. Forrester estimates that each internal password reset call costs approximately $70 per request.
In addition to the costs associated with password management there is the constant concern of system security. Users with weak passwords pose a large security threat to data on the system. According to recent System i security studies policies to manage passwords on the system are weak; users are allowed default passwords, passwords don't have to contain a numerical digit and passwords are set to never expire. This type of mismanagement means several companies are out of compliance with regulations such as SOX, HIPAA and PCI.
Password Self Help provides organizations with a secure and comprehensive password management solution. It simplifies removing default passwords and facilitates increased password complexity. Users are asked challenging questions that they have provided the answers for which ensures the right person has access to password information. Administrators receive automatic alerts about password resets to ensure authenticity.
"We know that password management is a complex and time consuming task that puts an additional strain on a company's IT infrastructure. Both administrators and users will benefit tremendously when users are allowed to take control of resetting their own passwords." Says Nick Blattner, Technical Services Engineer. "In addition to providing flexibility for end-users, Password Self Help ensures that a strong password policy is in place, helping to keep the data residing on the System i secure. We are confident that organizations will see the benefit of Password Self Help during their evaluation period."
