PeopleSoft User Security
When performing a PeopleSoft security audit, reconciling users should be one of the first tasks. This includes default accounts created through the installation of PeopleSoft as well as user accounts associated with staff, vendors and customers.
The following are several of the topics that Integrigy investigates during our PeopleSoft security configuration assessments - take a look today at your settings:
- Default accounts - PeopleSoft default application user accounts with superuser privileges where possible should be removed or have their password changed. Carefully consult your documentation but this is a key task.
