FEATURES, INSIGHTS // Identity & Access
Let’s look at some real-world examples of the identity management challenges remote work is creating, and at what it means to rethink identity governance and lifecycle to meet those challenges.
The integration of identity with security is still work in progress, with less than half of businesses having fully implemented key identity-related access controls according to a research study.
Today’s economic climate exacerbates risks of insider threats, as pending furloughs or pay cuts may tempt employees to exfiltrate data to secure a new job, make up for income losses, etc.
With IT budgets being cut back in response to the economic contraction caused by the current health crisis, security teams need to deliver more with less.
Static passwords lack the ability to verify whether the user accessing data is authentic or just someone who bought a compromised password.
If there’s one thing you can be sure of about user authentication methods today, it’s that determining the best choice isn’t as simple or straightforward as it used to be.
As the technology and tools to leverage stolen credentials advance, defenders should seek out innovative new ways to proactively flag exposed passwords leveraging insights gleaned from illicit communities and open-web dumps.
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?
