Measuring the Effectiveness of SSPR Solutions

Managing user access securely while minimizing downtime is a significant challenge for organizations. Password resets often strain IT resources and frustrate employees. Self-service password reset (SSPR) solutions present an effective approach, enabling users to handle their own password issues. However, measuring the effectiveness of these solutions is crucial for understanding their return on investment (ROI). In this article, we’ll explore key performance indicators (KPIs) that help organizations assess the impact of SSPR.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know

What is SSH?

SSH is a secure communication protocol that allows users to log in remotely to another machine. Users can access their shell, execute commands, transfer files, and more advanced features such as port forwarding, which allows access to network services running on the remote host or other servers on the remote hosts’ network.

What is SFTP?

SFTP stands for Secure File Transfer Protocol. The protocol runs over the SSH transport to provide complete file system access to the user’s file system on the SSH server. SFTP supports many operations over and above transferring files and implements many *nix style file system commands such as stat, rm, rmdir, mkdir, symlink, and more. It allows users to browse the remote file system like they would locally.

What is SCP?

SCP is a program part of OpenSSH that performs a “secure copy” over the SSH channel. It is a pure file transfer tool and can only be used to transfer files. It does not support any of the extended file system operations that SFTP provides.
