FEATURES, INSIGHTS // Identity & Access
As the workforce continues to evolve, a one-size-fits-all approach won’t work for different identity and access management needs across organizations.
Perimeter-based security, which focuses on securing endpoints, firewalls, and networks, provides no protection against identity- and credential-based threats.
Change may not always be on the docket, but when it is, how can we embrace it, understand it, and work to create a constructive environment around it?
In just about every case of digital identity, there seems to be a set of credential recovery mechanisms that are weaker than the authentication method itself.
Organizations should recognize that not all authenticators are equally vulnerable to the mechanisms used to break the trust chain, which range from simple guesswork to coercion.
Now is the time to evaluate what methods of authentication will best serve your organization on the path to a passwordless future.
If you want to succeed with FIDO, you have to be ready. Now is the time to assess your organization’s authentication needs, how they are evolving, and the dynamics of your user population.
It’s time to address some myths about how facial recognition works, to help increase consumer comfort with biometric-authentication technology.
Companies should consider moving to a Zero Trust approach, powered by additional security measures such as multi-factor authentication, to stay ahead of the security curve and leave passwords behind for good.
The ultimate goal for identity and access management (IAM) is not to find the unbreakable or “unhackable” code for authentication; rather, it’s to layer security to create a much stronger identity assurance posture.
