Press release: Specops Software Upgrades Password Management Products

New E-Mail Notification and Real-Time Reporting Make Password Resets Easier and More Secure 

TORONTO, Canada – May 5, 2010 -- Specops Software, a global innovation leader of Group Policy and Windows® PowerShell-based desktop automation and password management software, today announced significant upgrades to its password management products, Password Reset™ and Password Policy™.  The new versions include:

• Real-time reporting and monitoring of system activity
• Enrollment of users’ mobile numbers for the mobile verification code authentication
• E-mail notification when passwords are about to expire

“Adding e-mail notification capabilities to Specops Password Reset is a big enhancement of the password reset solution, said Tobias Öien, CEO of Specops Software. “Now companies can communicate easily and proactively with end users. With password security still being a major aspect of IT security, this is a very effective security solution that saves the help desk both time and money."

The password reset reporting dashboard allows help desk personnel to easily monitor the system activity and performance. The new e-mail configuration options provide flexibility in the design and targeting of event messages. Different messages can also be sent to different users or groups of users in Active Directory, informing them of various events.  These new features provide users with a greater sense of security when using Specops Software’s password self-service solution.

Specops Password Reset integrates directly with any Windows environment and greatly reduces the number of help desk calls regarding Windows password reset requests. Specops Password Policy, based on Group Policy technology, enforces password complexity rules defined by the organization and system administrators.
