For companies of all sizes, the task of supporting users can prove to be taxing on the IT staff, especially the Help Desk and Administrators. Most studies show the cost of pass-word resets can range from $25 to $75 per incident and make up around 30 percent or more of Help Desk calls. This provides ample reason and demand for password reset and recovery tools which empower the user. By allowing users to self-service their own ac-count and password management needs, organizations can effectively offer 24/7 access and maintain productivity.
Self-service functionality can assist with password resets, recoveries and account unlocks. By using multiple security questions and answers functionality PortalGuard is able to perform all resets directly from the end-user's machine if desired. This also includes Offline Mode, which allows the forgotten password to be shown to roaming users in clear text when they are offline, so as to continue work without returning to the office.

ipas implicit password authentication system ieee 2011prasanna9
This document summarizes a proposed authentication system called the Implicit Password Authentication System (IPAS). IPAS aims to address weaknesses in existing authentication schemes like passwords, tokens, biometrics and graphical passwords. It proposes using a set of questions and answers during registration that are then implicitly embedded into images by the server during authentication. The server randomly selects questions and images, requiring the user to demonstrate knowledge of their prior answers without directly reproducing them. The system is intended for mobile banking but could generalize to other client-server environments.
Contextual Authentication, also known as Risk-based Authentication, is matching the level of authentication to the expected impact of the surrounding events. Simply put, contextual authentication dynamically establishes the level of credibility of each user in real-time and uses this information to change the level of authentication required to access an application.

Summarizes the problems users experience when managing too many passwords. It describes the various approaches available to organizations to reduce the password burden on users and to improve the security of their authentication systems.
A common concern across organizations is that users have too many passwords to man-age, each with a separate management interface to become familiar with. This creates user frustration and increased costs around Help Desk and IT support. Enterprise single sign-on (SSO) is looked at as a solution but for many organizations it proves too costly and many encounter internal resistance due to security concerns.
Password synchronization is a possible midpoint that can ease user frustrations by ena-bling access to different systems using the same password and a single interface. This proves easier to implement than SSO and most solutions can force enrollment and do not require client-side software.
However, organizations have struggled with forgotten passwords as a sticking point with password synchronization as each system must be reset independently.
PortalGuard addresses these challenges by providing a cost-effective, flexible approach to server-based password synchronization plus self-service password reset allowing users to easily manage passwords for multiple systems from a single, consistent interface.

IRJET- Password Management Kit for Secure AuthenticationIRJET Journal
This document proposes a passwordless authentication system using unique identification tokens. It discusses the limitations of traditional password-based authentication systems, including susceptibility to phishing and users reusing passwords across multiple accounts. The proposed system would generate a unique token during authentication on the server-side rather than requiring the user to store and enter multiple passwords. This token would be included in the authorization header for authentication to protected routes on the server. The system aims to provide a more secure and usable authentication method compared to existing password-based systems.
The global disruption due to the pandemic has massively impacted organizations and the way they function.
Organizations are shifting towards a virtual environment by adopting cloud and automation to support,
monitor, and deploy exceptional service to their end-users. But how to keep the end-users connected to the
digital workplace securely during disruption is a big challenge
The document discusses the risks of uncontrolled privileged access and advocates for implementing strong authentication using smart cards for privileged users. Privileged accounts currently rely on weak password authentication which can enable accidental or intentional data breaches. Smart cards provide multi-factor authentication that is more secure and easy for administrators to use. The document outlines how smart cards can be deployed and managed to control privileged access across an enterprise network.
This white paper discusses the challenges of account lockout management and the benefits of an automated solution. It notes that account lockouts are necessary for security but result in help desk calls and lost productivity. Managing account lockouts manually is complex and time-consuming. The paper estimates that organizations can save $23,500-$70,500 annually by automating account lockout resolution through a product like NetWrix Account Lockout Examiner. This provides faster resolution and proactive handling of lockouts.

Identity management spans technologies including password management, user profile management, user provisioning directories, meta directories, virtual directories and single sign-on (SSO).
Two technologies that are frequently purchased and deployed together are password management and user provisioning. In such projects, one technology must normally be deployed first and act as the technical foundation for the other.
This paper discusses technical and practical considerations that impact the sequence of these two deployments, and concludes that in most cases it is best to begin with password management, and follow up with account management.
The remainder of this paper is organized as follows:
• Identity management technologies:
A description of how password management and user provisioning fit into the identity management market, and what each technology does.
• Technical and business requirements:
A characterization of the technical and business requirements most organizations place on each type of technology.
• Deployment complexity:
A description of typical deployment tasks in both password management and user provisioning projects, and how business complexity impacts the time-to-ROI in each case.
• Conclusions:
A summary of why password management should, in general, precede user provisioning in an identity management project.
Password Manager is a self-service password reset and helpdesk management tool that reduces helpdesk costs while increasing security. It allows users to reset passwords without involving the helpdesk, saving an estimated $20-50 per password reset. Password Manager also enables administrators to implement and enforce stronger password policies. By providing self-service password reset, it empowers users while reducing the helpdesk workload associated with password resets, which account for 20-50% of helpdesk calls according to Gartner.
This retail company with 3,500 users implemented PortalGuard's self-service password management to reduce help desk calls. PortalGuard allowed users to reset passwords for Windows logins, the corporate portal, and web applications. It also enforced additional password policies beyond Active Directory for some users.

Despite what you may think about password security, studies show that adding complexity does not necessarily make a secure password. Due to common patterns in human behavior, you may actually be creating passwords that seem complex, but are actually easy to predict.
Designing and Creating a Secure Web PortalPortalGuard
The document discusses considerations for designing and creating a secure web portal. It identifies five key areas to consider: data security, compliance, integration, end user experience, and technical configuration. For each area, it lists specific questions to consider, such as whether the portal will be public or private, how user credentials will be verified, which regulations apply, how users will interact with and access the portal, and technical details around hosting and performance. The overall message is that security should not be an afterthought when designing a portal and integrating it into an existing IT environment.
This document summarizes the key features of a multi-factor authentication product. It highlights the product's hybrid cloud model, single sign-on support, customizable user interface, and ability to integrate with multiple directories. Notable features include contextual authentication, mobile password reset apps, desktop password management, and various authentication methods. The product has both on-premises and cloud hosting options and includes standard features like self-service account management, RADIUS support, and flexible support tiers.
SAML, developed by the Security Services
Technical Committee of the Organization for the
Advancement of Structured Information Standards
(OASIS), is an XML-based framework for
communicating user authentication, entitlement,
and attribute information. As its name suggests,
SAML allows business entities to make assertions
regarding the identity, attributes, and entitlements of
a subject (an entity that is often a human user) to
other entities, such as a partner company or
another enterprise application.
The Role of Password Management in Achieving CompliancePortalGuard
Password management solutions have had a dramatic impact on organiza-tions; from eliminating password-related Help Desk calls to simplifying end-user access, password management has gone beyond tightening security to delivering improvements to the bottom line. Now, with the implementation of Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA and other regulations, password management has proven to be a strategic component for successful compliance.

PortalGuard provides reports that allow administrators to monitor user authentication events and take action in real-time. The reports provide insights into blocked users, password recovery attempts, access to sensitive data, password expiration rates, average risk scores by group, device usage, employee productivity, application access patterns, functionality adoption rates, and cost metrics.
The document discusses self-service password reset functionality including:
- Allowing multiple challenge questions to authenticate users and reduce risk of guessing answers.
- Enabling offline password recovery so users can reset passwords without network access.
- Integrating reset functionality into existing login portals through "sidecar mode".
- Providing flexible configuration, auditing, and extensibility through the PortalGuard platform.
Computers and information technologies are critical tools for police work today.
Officers need immediate access to law enforcement applications, whether they
are working in police stations, squad cars, or otherwise mobile and operating
remotely. It’s essential for officers to easily login to the department’s computer
system, regardless of where they are located, and connect to the applications
they need to do their jobs.

Avoiding Two-factor Authentication? You're Not AlonePortalGuard
The extra factors are implemented to prove the user’s identity beyond a simple password. The definition states that to be two-factor authentication it must require the user to provide at least two of the factors listed above.

Portal Authentication: A Balancing Act Between Security Usability and Complia...PortalGuard
Virtually every organization maintains highly sensitive information to which it must
control strict access. These data sources might include customer databases, CRM
systems, repositories of financial information and the like. Increasingly, these content
sources are accessed through portals Microsoft SharePoint and other solutions.
Importantly, SharePoint is among the leaders in Gartner’s 2013 Magic Quadrant for

Hand Rolled Applicative User ValidationCode KataPhilip Schwarz
Could you use a simple piece of Scala validation code (granted, a very simplistic one too!) that you can rewrite, now and again, to refresh your basic understanding of Applicative operators <*>, <*, *>?
The goal is not to write perfect code showcasing validation, but rather, to provide a small, rough-and ready exercise to reinforce your muscle-memory.
Despite its grandiose-sounding title, this deck consists of just three slides showing the Scala 3 code to be rewritten whenever the details of the operators begin to fade away.
The code is my rough and ready translation of a Haskell user-validation program found in a book called Finding Success (and Failure) in Haskell - Fall in love with applicative functors.

Graspan: A Big Data System for Big Code AnalysisAftab Hussain
We built a disk-based parallel graph system, Graspan, that uses a novel edge-pair centric computation model to compute dynamic transitive closures on very large program graphs.
We implement context-sensitive pointer/alias and dataflow analyses on Graspan. An evaluation of these analyses on large codebases such as Linux shows that their Graspan implementations scale to millions of lines of code and are much simpler than their original implementations.
These analyses were used to augment the existing checkers; these augmented checkers found 132 new NULL pointer bugs and 1308 unnecessary NULL tests in Linux 4.4.0-rc5, PostgreSQL 8.3.9, and Apache httpd 2.2.18.

Measures in SQL (SIGMOD 2024, Santiago, Chile)Julian Hyde
SQL has attained widespread adoption, but Business Intelligence tools still use their own higher level languages based upon a multidimensional paradigm. Composable calculations are what is missing from SQL, and we propose a new kind of column, called a measure, that attaches a calculation to a table. Like regular tables, tables with measures are composable and closed when used in queries.
SQL-with-measures has the power, conciseness and reusability of multidimensional languages but retains SQL semantics. Measure invocations can be expanded in place to simple, clear SQL.
To define the evaluation semantics for measures, we introduce context-sensitive expressions (a way to evaluate multidimensional expressions that is consistent with existing SQL semantics), a concept called evaluation context, and several operations for setting and modifying the evaluation context.

Need for Speed: Removing speed bumps from your Symfony projects ⚡️Łukasz Chruściel
No one wants their application to drag like a car stuck in the slow lane! Yet it’s all too common to encounter bumpy, pothole-filled solutions that slow the speed of any application. Symfony apps are not an exception.
In this talk, I will take you for a spin around the performance racetrack. We’ll explore common pitfalls - those hidden potholes on your application that can cause unexpected slowdowns. Learn how to spot these performance bumps early, and more importantly, how to navigate around them to keep your application running at top speed.
We will focus in particular on tuning your engine at the application level, making the right adjustments to ensure that your system responds like a well-oiled, high-performance race car.
Microservice Teams - How the cloud changes the way we workSven Peters
A lot of technical challenges and complexity come with building a cloud-native and distributed architecture. The way we develop backend software has fundamentally changed in the last ten years. Managing a microservices architecture demands a lot of us to ensure observability and operational resiliency. But did you also change the way you run your development teams?
Sven will talk about Atlassian’s journey from a monolith to a multi-tenanted architecture and how it affected the way the engineering teams work. You will learn how we shifted to service ownership, moved to more autonomous teams (and its challenges), and established platform and enablement teams.
