LastPass Business: Redefined to Meet Your Needs, at Your Pace

Regardless of where or how you’re working, securing access to company data and applications while increasing employee productivity is crucial. With the rise of remote work resulting in an increase in cyberthreats, businesses are prioritizing strong cybersecurity practices, which are critical to reaping the benefits of remote work. When 85% of breaches involve a human element (phishing, stolen credentials, and human error), it’s even more important for businesses to take control of every entry point. You’ve adjusted the way you do business out of necessity – but are moving forward bolder and more confident than ever before. LastPass has taken steps to empower you, the customer, to adapt successfully, by listening to your challenges and upgrading our products to realign to your needs.    Today, we’re excited to announce a redefined LastPass for Business that ensures both employees and their families are practicing safe password behavior online, provides tools to increase employee adoption, and empowers your organization to use the security tools you need, at your own pace. Let’s take a look at LastPass Business and some of these customer-driven enhancements.

A new name for an improved product

LastPass Business, formerly known as LastPass Enterprise, offers a password management solution to start your identity journey, helping you to generate, secure, and share credentials seamlessly, while ensuring protection through LastPass’ zero-knowledge security infrastructure. Additional access and authentication features, such as single sign-on (SSO) simplify access for up to three cloud applications, and multifactor authentication (MFA) secures the LastPass vault and SSO applications. Together with password management, they form a comprehensive access and authentication strategy for your business.

Giving you Families as a Benefit

You can now provide a best-in-class password manager to your employees and their family, when you purchase LastPass Business. With professional and personal lives merging at an unprecedented rate, it is crucial that your employees are empowered to keep their and their family’s information easily accessible and completely secured across personal and business devices and applications. However you define family, we’ve got you covered. Families as a Benefit enables your employees and their families to live and work securely from anywhere. With LastPass Families, your employees with LastPass Business accounts will be granted a personal LastPass account plus five additional licenses to share across their family or friends, gifting premium password protection. Coming soon in July, your business and your employees can join the biggest and most inclusive family – LastPass!

Simplifying adoption with a new Admin console

With our new Admin console and adoption dashboard, we provide the most comprehensive set of admin controls in one easy-to-use console to further aid admins in account management and to drive end user adoption. Our new Admin console provides:

• simplified admin onboarding

• increased customization in the user’s table
• expanded user status

The new Admin console will increase visibility and enable you to re-engage users when and however appropriate, keeping your adoption goals on track.  These upgrades are available now, with even more updates to be announced over the next few weeks.

Advancing our single sign-on and multifactor authentication options

SSO apps are now fully accessible to users in the LastPass browser extension and password vault to simplify employee access to key applications. In addition, you can now add a SSO app in two simple steps to quickly deploy cloud applications to employees. LastPass also now provides one Authenticator application to eliminate confusion and streamline control for admins and employees. From a simple push notification to passwordless protection, LastPass allows you to choose the right level of protection for your organization, with one, easy-to-use Authenticator app. In addition to the freemium SSO and MFA capabilities available in LastPass Business, we now offer an Advanced SSO add-on, which provides access to an unlimited number of cloud applications, while streamlining provisioning cloud applications for IT. Our Advanced MFA add-on provides passwordless access with customizable security policies, such as geofencing and IP address, adaptive authentication technology to alert to suspicious behavior, and the ability to secure VPNs, workstations, and identity providers with the LastPass Authenticator app

Simplified password management aligned to meet your goals

With LastPass Business your organization can safely and efficiently collaborate, while IT gains greater control and visibility through integrated access and authentication. "The new LastPass Business provides us with more options for future growth,” says Bryan Veal, Systems Engineer, Shasta County Office of Education. “Knowing that there's room to expand into other areas we want, include add-on as needed, and stick with LogMeIn as a trusted and proven partner is incredibly beneficial." As your business progresses in its identity and security journey, you require flexibility to meet your specific security needs, at your pace. LastPass is here to help.
