Enterprise identity and access management (IAM) is the discipline of managing digital identities and their access to data, applications, systems and other resources. It addresses two fundamental questions: In other words, IAM helps organizations ensure that exactly the right accounts exist and that each user can access exactly the right resources based on their job functions. This article explores the benefits of enterprise IAM, the challenges involved and the key features to look for in an IAM solution.

Local administrator rights provide users with unrestricted access to their machines, enabling them to install applications, modify system settings and perform other administrative tasks. While this level of freedom can enhance productivity and flexibility, it also poses significant threats to security, compliance and business continuity. Accordingly, best practices recommend strictly limiting local admin rights.

Secure access management is more than just strong password policies and multi-factor authentication (MFA) – it includes a variety of processes and tools that create an integrated and comprehensive approach to safeguarding digital assets. To manage access effectively, organizations must implement strategies like continuous monitoring, adaptive access controls, and automated workflows for user provisioning and deprovisioning.

Not long ago, remote access was reserved for a select few, such as traveling salespeople and senior executives. Today, it has become ubiquitous. Indeed, users across many roles and functions in the modern office now routinely connect to the corporate network from off-site locations and work with resources as if they were connected to the local network. However, allowing users to access corporate resources remotely introduces security risks, so robust management is vital.

Effective identity and access management (IAM) is crucial to both data security and regulatory compliance. Closely governing identities and their access rights is vital to ensuring that each individual has access to only the business systems, applications and data that they need to perform their roles. IAM reduces the risk of accidental data exposure or deletion by account owners, while also limiting the damage that could be done by a malicious actor who compromises a user account.

Safeguarding business-critical and regulated data like customer records, financial information and intellectual property is critical to the success of the entire organization. However, your goal should not be to build a fortress. Rather accept that your network will inevitably be breached from the outside and attacked from within, so you should build a layered defense strategy that helps you both minimize your attack surface and spot suspicious behavior in time to respond effectively.

Although most IT pros are aware of the benefits that technology integrations promise, many of them are reluctant to take on integration projects. They know all too well that many vendor products simply aren't designed to be integrated with other systems; the lack of an application programming interface in particular is a huge red flag. Fortunately, there are vendors, such as ServiceNow and Netwrix, that enable organizations to reap the benefits of integration without having to invest lots of time and money.

In today's digital world, the problem of data theft by departing employees goes far beyond stealing the names of a few customers or a product design sketch; it can mean the loss of gigabytes of critical corporate intelligence and legally protected information like customer cardholder data. Plus, ex-employees have even more avenues for using the data they steal - they can use it against their former employers, leak it to competitors, sell it to the highest bidder or simply publish it on the internet.

It's hard to imagine an organization today that does not rely on file servers, SharePoint or Office 365 for storing data, including valuable and sensitive information such as intellectual property and personal data. This makes these systems particularly attractive targets for all sort of attackers, from external hackers to disgruntled employees. To protect data from both external and internal threats, businesses must regularly conduct thorough data security assessments as part of their broader cyber security assessments.

Orchestrate IT security with your data at its core. Netwrix solutions empower you to identify and classify sensitive information with utmost precision; reduce your exposure to risk and detect threats in time to avoid data breaches; and achieve and prove compliance.
Data Security Done Right:
- Consistency in the Approach. Confidence in the Results. Ensure your cybersecurity efforts are laser-focused on truly important data, instead of false positives that do not require protection. Our unified platform identifies and classifies your sensitive, regulated or mission-critical information consistently and accurately — including both structured and unstructured data, whether it’s on premises or in the cloud.
- Reduce Risk. Prevent Breaches. Do you know if the sensitive data you store is overexposed? Who can access it? What activity is going on around it? Netwrix solutions help you answer these key questions and ensure that risk-appropriate security controls are implemented around your most critical data. Plus, the platform enables you to detect abnormal activity early and respond before a threat turns into a breach.
- Achieve Compliance. Deliver Hard Evidence. Assess the effectiveness of the data security controls across your entire infrastructure so you can remediate any flaws before auditors come to call. Get the hard evidence you need to demonstrate to auditors that your controls adhere to their regulations and quickly answer any ad-hoc questions.
Data Centric. Laser Focused.
