Cloakware Strengthens Global Presence Through Partnership with Wipro Technologies to Provide Solution for Shared Account Password Management.

Reseller and Professional Services Agreement Improves Security and Compliance for Customers Worldwide

VIENNA, Va. -- Cloakware Inc., the security solutions provider that makes security inseparable from software, today announced that it has partnered with Wipro Technologies, the global IT services business of Wipro Limited (NYSE: WIT) to provide Cloakware's Server Password Manager (CSPM) and all support services to customers worldwide. Wipro Technologies is a leading global IT services provider that offers end-to-end security solutions that streamline security technologies and management processes to mitigate the security risks associated with enterprises.

As a result of this partnership, Cloakware increases its global presence while Wipro Technologies bolsters its established portfolio of end-to-end security solutions. Wipro Technologies' customers span multiple markets, ranging from financial services to retail, energy and utilities. CSPM, Cloakware's proven Shared Account Password Management (SAPM) solution, will enable these organizations to protect and manage the thousands of credentials that lie within their data centers. CSPM is the first commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) product to eliminate risks associated with unmanaged privileged passwords, and passwords which are hard-coded into applications. By automatically updating these privileged and application-to-application (A2A) passwords, CSPM eliminates downtime, improves efficiency and helps organizations comply with stringent regulatory requirements.

According to Gartner, "Enterprises must eliminate shared passwords for shared accounts and should consider using an SAPM tool to minimize risks and improve individual accountability." The Gartner report continues, "Passwords for shared accounts with super user privileges or other high-level access rights are often shared by multiple users or are managed using fragile manual processes. Risks stem from passwords becoming known to others and from the lack of individual accountability. SAPM tools enable effective and efficient password management for shared accounts, without the need for passwords to be shared among staff members who are sanctioned to use those accounts."1

"Wipro Technologies is committed to continually providing its customers with the best security solutions the market has to offer," said Prasenjit Saha, Vice President, Enterprise Security Solutions Practice, Wipro Technologies. "We have identified CSPM as one of the leading products that help manage privileged passwords. CSPM and the benefits of automated password management will enable our customers to stay one step ahead of this emerging threat that lurks in every organization while eliminating potential issues before they arise."

With CSPM, customers gain access to the benefits of automated password management, to include improved quality of service and performance, streamlined data center operations and cost savings. Organizations implementing CSPM can take control of their privileged passwords, put identity management and authentication strategies in place, and satisfy the latest regulatory requirements such as Sarbanes Oxley (SOX), Payment Card Industry (PCI) and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

"Password protection is of high priority to any organization to safeguard its information from potential security threats," said David Canellos, Cloakware's acting president. "The CSPM solution and associated support services will enable Wipro Technologies to provide its customers with a proven solution to protect critical data through the ability to automatically manage privileged and application-to-application passwords."
