Heartbeat allows effective, up to the minute monitoring of credentials across a company network. Secrets are able to have their credentials automatically tested for accuracy at a given interval. Using Heartbeat on Secrets will ensure the credentials stored in Secret Server are up-to-date and can alert administrators if the credentials are changed outside of Secret Server. Heartbeat tells you when an administrator changes a privileged password behind your back.
Heartbeat requires Remote Password Changing functionality included in Professional and Enterprise editions.
