Enhanced Password Protection

Native Windows security provides a significant amount of protection for user passwords. However, CA Access Control significantly extends password protection so that the likelihood of a hacker succeeding in stealing a password is greatly reduced.

When using CA Access Control, you can create additional rules that force users to choose safer, more secure passwords. For instance, you can demand that users select a minimum number of alphabetic, numeric, special, lowercase, or uppercase characters. You can also ensure that the new password selected by a user does not contain, and is not contained by, the password being replaced.
