Take insights to action: Bitwarden transforms credential risk into real-time remediation

Security isn’t just about alerts. The new Bitwarden Access Intelligence feature enables IT and security teams to efficiently protect their organization from one of the most common sources of data breaches — weak, reused, and exposed credentials. With Bitwarden Access Intelligence, proactively identify credential risks, prioritize critical applications, guide employees to make password updates, and measure security improvements.

Credential abuse, where malicious actors take advantage of weak, reused or exposed credentials, account for 22% of data breaches (Verizon) and the cost of data breaches are rising, reaching an average of $4.4 million (IBM). Further compounding this problem, IT and security teams are inundated with alerts, leaving at-risk credentials to go unresolved an average of 9 days after detection. Such unresolved credential risks are open vulnerabilities for malicious actors to exploit, negatively impacting company reputation, revenue, and information security.

Bitwarden Access Intelligence enables organizations to take proactive action against the credentials that put them at risk. 

With Bitwarden Access Intelligence, IT and security teams can:

• Take an app-centric approach to credential security

• Uncover shadow IT across the organization

• Identify risks in your most important applications

• Prioritize critical applications and at-risk credentials to fix

• Automatically send alerts to end users

• Guide employees to make password changes

• Monitor actions and report on security improvements

Bitwarden offers a unique app-centric approach to risk resolution that gives IT the context they need to prioritize the most critical credential risks first. 

Bitwarden provides IT with unmatched oversight into applications across the organization and the at-risk credentials tied to them. Risks can be further prioritized for remediation based on business impact — such as billing, payroll, e-commerce, supply chain, and file management solutions — which are quickly protected with a unique and strong password before a malicious actor exploits the vulnerability.

This app-centric approach alleviates IT workload and alert fatigue, opening up capacity for other projects and responsibilities. It also helps organizations uncover applications unknown by the IT department (shadow IT) being used across the organization.

Unlike other password managers that only “report” on issues, Bitwarden Access Intelligence actually empowers all employees to take an active role in their organization’s security. Automated alerts and guided workflows help employees take care of risk remediation themselves, allowing them to take supervised responsibility for their security. Bitwarden helps employees of all technical backgrounds make secure changes to their work credentials, without additional guidance from IT. 

When Bitwarden users get an at-risk password alert, they’re immediately directed to the relevant change password form and given a strong new password to save.

Bitwarden Access Intelligence enables enterprises to achieve measurable security improvements. Bitwarden customers benefit from the ability to track security progress, measuring risk reduction and providing an overview of the organization’s risk posture

Bitwarden Access Intelligence enables both IT and security teams to protect critical credentials at scale.

Bitwarden Access Intelligence is now included in the Bitwarden enterprise plan, available today. The new feature can be accessed in the web app via the Admin Console under Access Intelligence.
