An account lifecycle policy enforces strict management rules for privileged accounts, particularly those at high risk of compromise. A key practice in such policies is rotating the account password after each use, ensuring credentials are not reused or left exposed for long periods.
In Devolutions products, this concept is implemented through features such as password rotation policies, heartbeat synchronization to validate credential accuracy, and automatic password propagation to ensure updates are distributed to all relevant systems. These combined tools help protect critical accounts by automating credential hygiene and reducing manual intervention.
This approach is essential for securing sensitive assets, especially when accounts are used in shared or automated environments. It also supports compliance with security best practices and frameworks that emphasize just-in-time access and minimal exposure of privileged credentials.
