📄️ Overview of the Local Windows Connector
The EmpowerID Local Windows Server Connector enhances IT security and streamlines the management of local computer administrator accounts. It integrates with both on-premise and cloud-based Windows servers to efficiently manage local users and groups, particularly local administrators. The connector features automated password management for privileged accounts, ensuring security through password rotation and resets. Additionally, it supports compliance efforts with SOX, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS regulations via inventory tracking, attestation policies, and integration with EmpowerID's Privileged Session Manager for identity verification and session recording.
