95% of cloud security fails are due to internal slip-ups. One wrong password, one sloppy permission, and your sensitive data are out in the open. Thankfully, AWS gives you tools to fight back. IAM lets you control who does what, down to the finest detail. And IAM PassRole? It prevents sneaky permission grabs that put your data at risk.

A comprehensive guide to the basics of IAM, its benefits, and best practices.

Privileged Access Management (PAM) protects an organization’s most critical systems and accounts from unauthorized access, making it important to have a good PAM strategy in place. Some of the best practices to develop a good PAM strategy include implementing least privilege access, monitoring privileged accounts, adopting password security best practices, requiring multi-factor authentication and auditing privileges regularly.

When 23andMe, the popular genetic data gathering and sharing organization, was breached in November of 2023, the threat actors responsible gained initial access by launching a credential stuffing attack. The attack, which involved hackers using credential stuffing, or entering known passwords and emails to see if a combination would work, only succeeded due to a lack of multi-factor authentication (MFA) in place in the compromised account.

In an era where data breaches are as common as they are damaging, securing sensitive information has become paramount for businesses across the globe. Data Access Governance stands at the forefront of this battle, ensuring that the right people have the right access to the right data at the right time. It's a holistic approach that not only fortifies data against unauthorized access but also enables organizations to harness its full potential responsibly and efficiently.

Active Directory (AD) is a useful service that helps organizations manage identities and control access to network resources, thus improving corporate cybersecurity. However, when poorly managed, AD can be exploited in a way that could harm an organization’s sensitive assets and operational resilience. In this article, we briefly define what Active Directory is, list its main services, and discuss possible threats.

Privileged Access Management (PAM) is a comprehensive framework of policies, strategies, and technologies designed to regulate, oversee, and fortify access to critical resources for human and service accounts.

In a rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, organizations across all industries and sizes face an ever-growing array of sophisticated threats. Privileged accounts, in particular, have become prime targets for hackers, with nearly every major breach in recent years involving unauthorized access. Breaches caused by phishing and compromised credentials (the most common type of attack) cost an average of $4.76M and take almost 11 months to resolve.
