With Cybersecurity Awareness Month well underway, it’s the perfect time to evaluate and strengthen your organization’s security practices. A robust password policy is crucial, but truly comprehensive security goes beyond just managing passwords. Devolutions Server (DVLS) was designed to protect more than just your organization’s usernames and passwords. Here’s how DVLS can help you create a safer, more efficient workplace.
1. Alarm codes
The user vault in DVLS is the designated place for storing personal, work-related information like building alarm codes for accessing office buildings, warehouses, and other facilities. Employees can store their unique PINs in their user vaults. If an access code is the same for all employees, it can be securely stored in a shared vault. Regardless of the method an organization chooses, DVLS ensures that all critical access codes are protected and accessible only to authorized personnel, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
2. Contact information
DVLS assists support teams and administration in maintaining strong relationships with clients, vendors, and other key stakeholders by securely storing contact information. You can organize and store details such as phone numbers, email addresses, and physical addresses securely within DVLS. By centralizing this information, DVLS ensures that your team has quick access to up-to-date contact details, streamlining operations without compromising on security.
3. Financial information
Financial data is a prime target for threat actors. DVLS offers a robust defense by empowering purchasing departments to operate efficiently without compromising the safety of crucial financial information. By centralizing and encrypting banking information and credit card details, DVLS ensures that this sensitive data is both secure and easily retrievable when needed.
4. Documents and notes
Confidential business ideas, network diagrams, and other strategic notes should never be left unprotected. DVLS’s note entry feature allows you to store and organize important documents securely, ensuring that company secrets are always safeguarded against prying eyes.
5. Software licenses
Reinstalling software can be a hassle, especially when license numbers are scattered across spreadsheets, databases, or documents. DVLS centralizes all your license numbers in one secure location, making them easy to find when you need them.
6. IT assets
Managing IT assets is a crucial aspect of maintaining an efficient and secure infrastructure. DVLS allows you to securely store and track a wide range of IT assets, including Wi-Fi access points, servers, printers, and networking gear. With DVLS, your organization can maintain an up-to-date inventory of IT assets and ensure that critical equipment is accounted for and protected.
7. Service account credentials
Managing multiple service accounts can be cumbersome. DVLS helps you securely store these critical username/password combinations, including email service accounts, administrative server accounts, shared SSH keys, and shared secrets such as API keys.
8. Website credentials
Website credentials are frequently used across organizations and can be a vulnerability if not managed properly. Social media and marketing teams, for instance, often need to access shared accounts for posting updates and managing online presence. Similarly, purchasing departments and IT departments need to access internal tools or online training platforms. DVLS provides a secure way to store and manage all of these shared website credentials.

9. PAM credentials
Privileged accounts — accounts holding a high level of access — are the keys to your most sensitive data and infrastructure. With DVLS, take positive control of these privileged accounts by leveraging discovery and automatic password rotations. Built-in approval workflows, secure credential injection, and a powerful integration with Remote Desktop Manager will help you ensure that your teams stay efficient!
