How to Monitor Changes to Hardware and Software Configurations

Server configuration changes are a major cause of application outages and performance issues. Changes having the greatest impact often are the simplest. Memory pulled from one server to boost another server’s performance can leave the lingering applications starved. Adding new software can automatically update configurations and cause another application to become inoperable. Having visibility into when these types of changes occur is critical to resolving application availability and performance, fast. Learn how to achieve this visibility with SolarWinds® Server Configuration Monitor.

Secret Keys to the Password Kingdom

Building trust with customers is a must for MSPs. And because of the unique nature of MSPs, it’s not always easy. Your customers aren’t simply giving you administrative access to a few admin accounts—they’re sharing secrets which must be securely managed across all the systems, apps, and users you manage for them. Passwords, SSH keys, licenses, cloud infrastructure logins, and SaaS portal accounts are just the beginning. To solve issues quickly, your technicians can’t waste time locating the credentials needed to resolve issues and make users happy.

Account Takeover IS Your Problem

Phishing and malware are scary enough, but the number-one tactic used by bad actors to get access to and take over accounts is something different: using compromised credentials. Why? Because it’s so easy. Data breaches happen almost constantly, and credentials get leaked. At the same time, people are prone to reuse the same few passwords across all their accounts. These two facts spell trouble, as it’s almost impossible for an IT professional to know if working credentials to their company email or CRM are floating around the dark web. Almost impossible that is, until now.
