Securing Privileged Access in a Remote Work World: Challenges and Best Practices

In today's disconnected world, the task of managing privileged access has become increasingly challenging. The surge in remote work has exposed employees to new vulnerabilities as they access sensitive systems and data from unsecured networks and personal devices, making them attractive targets for cyberattacks. To combat these risks, organizations must adopt Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions.

ChatGPT and Identity Security: Breaking down the identity security risks of AI

It is fair to say that few technologies have grabbed more news headlines in 2023 than ChatGPT. As an artificial intelligence (AI) language model, ChatGPT is a powerful tool that has the potential to revolutionize multiple business areas, including, but not limited to, marketing, operations, engineering, risk management, legal and employee optimization.

Making Zero Trust a Reality

Zero Trust has been a concept since 2009 when Forrester first realized that traditional security models operated on the outdated assumption that everything inside an organization’s network should be trusted. 14 years later, the rule of “Never Trust, Always Verify” has never been more important, especially as data breaches continue to make headlines on a seemingly daily basis.

How to manage SAP user accounts and access rights with Identity Manager

Does your company run SAP applications? If you do, you know how difficult it can be to manage identities. Most of the time, SAP applications are siloed and run completely independently of the rest your IT environment. This makes provisioning users across your SAP and non-SAP platforms a challenge at minimum and at worst, an impossible task. One Identity Manager provides comprehensive certified integration with SAP products.

Why IAM maturity is key to accessible cyber insurance

Cyber insurance is an increasingly critical part of an organization's approach to cyber defense and CISOs have realized that identity management and, in particular, Privileged Access Management (PAM) are some of the most important and influential aspects of any organization’s overall cybersecurity strategy.

Continuous governance provides a comprehensive strategy across your entire organization

In our previous blog, we touched on how your current identity governance access review processes and workflows may be a major factor in spreading identity fatigue across your organization. In this blog, let’s talk about how you can extend your identity governance far beyond identities and entitlements to protect/secure privileged access, applications, cloud infrastructure and all your critical data.

Holistic SAP governance through enterprise environment integration

Vertical risk management and complete identity governance can only be achieved through the integration of critical platforms with other systems and applications in use and by either integrating existing point solutions or reducing their number altogether. Integration of an identity platform with SAP is one of those major challenges for many organizations today.

Top tools and technologies for Privileged Access Management

Privileged Access Management (PAM) plays a vital role in organizational security by enabling control and monitoring of privileged accounts and resources. These accounts possess elevated access privileges, making them attractive targets for attackers seeking unauthorized entry into sensitive systems and data. By implementing PAM, organizations can mitigate the risk of security breaches and data loss by enforcing strict access limitations on privileged accounts.

Why you need Active Roles, even if you have IGA

Here are two scenarios I come across frequently, with customers of all sizes, in all industries, when discussing One Identity Active Roles: These situations come from customers on all points of the "Identity Security Maturity" spectrum. Those who have nothing in place or some things in place or an entire stack of fully implemented solutions in every category.

The advantages of using time-based one-time passwords (TOTP)

In the fast-paced world we live in, where organizations face increasing threats to their security and protecting sensitive information, implementing robust security measures is paramount. Static passwords have proven inadequate in safeguarding data from unauthorized access and data breaches. However, there is a solution that addresses these vulnerabilities: time-based one-time passwords (TOTP).

Establishing Privileged Access Management standards for your organization

Privileged accounts are the prime target of cybercriminals hoping to access an organization’s assets. Without a way to keep track of, secure, record and analyze privileged users and the privileged sessions they perform, it’s only a matter of time before a hacker finds their way into your more critical assets. That’s where setting Privileged Access Management standards comes in.

The benefits of Privileged Access Management for compliance and regulation

Privileged Access Management (PAM) is a crucial aspect of any organization's cybersecurity strategy, especially in industries that handle sensitive data, such as health care, finance and government. PAM involves implementing policies, procedures and tools to manage and monitor access to privileged accounts and limit the risk of unauthorized access or misuse. This ensures that only authorized personnel can access critical systems and data, reducing the chances of a security breach.
