Product Overview: Enzoic for Active Directory
Enzoic for Active Directory is a robust and user-friendly solution designed to enhance the security and compliance of an organization’s credential management. Here’s a detailed look at what the product does and its key features.
What Enzoic Does
Enzoic integrates seamlessly into existing Active Directory environments to enforce stringent password policies and continuously monitor credentials for signs of compromise. The primary goal is to prevent the use of compromised or weak passwords, thereby protecting against Account Takeover (ATO) attacks and other credential-based threats.
Key Features
Continuous Credential Security
Enzoic continuously screens passwords against a vast database of compromised username and password pairs found on the Dark Web. This real-time monitoring identifies and remediates both newly created and existing vulnerable passwords, ensuring that credentials remain secure over time.
Expansive Threat Intelligence
Enzoic leverages a dedicated in-house threat research team and powerful tools to gather comprehensive threat intelligence from the surface internet and Dark Web. This ensures that the database is continually updated, enabling swift remediation of potential threats.
Enhanced User Experience
Unlike many security solutions that add friction to the user experience, Enzoic operates invisibly behind the scenes. It guides users in setting stronger, more secure passwords without additional layers of authentication, reducing the workload for help desk support.
Customizable Password Policies
Enzoic allows administrators to set up multiple policy configurations, including different policies for privileged accounts. Features include:
- Preventing users from setting passwords that have been compromised.
- Creating custom password dictionaries to block specific words related to the organization or industry.
- Enforcing granular password complexity requirements such as password length, inclusion of numbers and special characters, and mandating a mix of upper- and lower-case letters.
Advanced Reporting and Alerting
The solution provides advanced reporting capabilities, including:
- Compromised users reports for on-demand remediation and historical views of user compromises.
- Monthly security metrics summaries to track progress over time.
- Alerts and notifications that can be integrated with SIEM systems and customized to align with the organization’s local time zone.
Streamlined Compliance
Enzoic helps organizations comply with various industry standards such as NIST 800-63b, HITRUST, and other leading compliance requirements by automatically enforcing these standards within their environment.
Resource Optimization
By automating the most labor-intensive aspects of password security, Enzoic significantly reduces the time and resources needed for IT departments to manage password security. This includes real-time reports and alerting that simplify audit compliance.
Integration and Deployment
Enzoic for Active Directory can be deployed as a software-based plugin that integrates into existing AD Domain Controllers. Optional endpoint agents provide users with specific instructions during password resets. The solution can be up and running in under an hour, and it supports integration with custom SMTP servers and SIEM systems.
Additional Functionality
- Client Settings: The Enzoic Client can be deployed to endpoints, providing users with feedback on why a selected password may have been rejected and guiding them to select compliant passwords.
- Audit Efficiency: Real-time reports and alerting make it easier to comply with auditing requirements.
- Performance Improvements: Continuous scans are optimized for speed and efficiency, and the solution includes a centralized alerting dashboard for comprehensive security monitoring.
In summary, Enzoic for Active Directory is a powerful tool that enhances credential security through continuous monitoring, expansive threat intelligence, and customizable policies, all while maintaining a seamless user experience and streamlining compliance and resource management.
