Service Accounts

One of the challenges in password policies is managing domain user service accounts. Service accounts are the credentials with which a service logs on. Administrators can use Local Security Solution to automate the identification of services running with domain user service accounts, change the password on service accounts, and update service configurations.

Service Hardening

Users with administrator rights can maliciously or inadvertently change Windows components resulting in compromises to security. Users often disable services or applications that they deem a nuisance. These "nuisance" applications include security and management applications that are critical to the protection and maintenance of systems and disabling them has detrimental consequences. Arellia can lock services down so even administrators can't stop a protected service.
