More than 180,000 IT professionals worldwide are using Thycotic Secret Server solution to securely store, distribute and manage privileged account data such as server passwords, router passwords, local and root accounts as well as service accounts in a secure, centralized repository. Secret Server reduces the complexity associated with managing privileged users' access rights, helping organizations mitigate the risk of security breaches and compliance violations.

"Thycotic's privileged account management solutions represent some of the most innovative and effective security technology on the market today," said Illena Armstrong, VP, editorial, SC Magazine. "As attackers develop and practice new approaches to compromising sensitive information, companies are challenged to keep pace. Thycotic was named an SC Award finalist for its efforts to raise the bar for the security industry."
