Secret Server
IBM Security Secret Server helps you keep privileged accounts safe with a secure encrypted vault to store and rotate your sensitive accounts. Discovering and vaulting privileged accounts helps you understand how many privileged accounts you have, and exactly who has access to your key systems through real-time session monitoring, recording and key logging. IBM Secret Server will also help you maintain compliance through full audit reports on vault activity.
