Protecting credentials has become increasingly critical in recent years, with everyday employees using more passwords, devices, and systems than ever before. Remote work has significantly increased the risk of identity attacks. 55% of remote workers say they receive more phishing emails than they used to while working in the office and attempted password attacks are up tenfold. In 2023, Microsoft detected 156,000 business email compromise (BEC) attacks every day over twelve months.

As modern digital landscapes house the most dynamic and growing networks, effective IP address management is crucial for maintaining a well-functioning network. However, many network administrators still rely on spreadsheets to track and manage their growing IP address footprint. This approach is not only time-consuming but also prone to misconfigurations, errors, and inefficiencies. This is where IP address management (IPAM) becomes crucial, offering a more robust and reliable solution.

Access management is a fundamental element of your organization’s security infrastructure. With numerous approaches to implementing an access management system, selecting the most suitable one for your organization may be daunting. In this article, we analyze the two most popular access control models: role-based and attribute-based. We delve into what RBAC and ABAC are, review the pros and cons of each model, compare them, and check if it’s possible to combine them.

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is one of the world’s most widely used cloud services. At the heart of this system lies roles, which act as predefined sets of permissions that grant users specific access levels amidst the complexity of credentials, identities, and resources in the cloud environment.

If you think data privacy law is a minefield, you’re not alone. At our last count, there were 120 jurisdictions around the globe, each with their own data privacy legislation. Each set of legislation is as complex and intricate as the next. How are you supposed to tame this multi-headed monster? How on earth did we end up here? Let’s look at the current state of global data protection legislation, where it’s headed and what you can do about it.

Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a cybersecurity discipline, so it’s almost trivial to claim that a solid IAM foundation brings critical security benefits for any organization. Fundamentally, IAM allows the right people to access the right resources at the right times, in the right way for the right reasons. Yet IAM projects consistently take a backseat to other, more fashionable cybersecurity initiatives in a lot of organizations, ultimately harming the security posture.

IAM is used to identify and manage user identities digitally across the whole company, while PAM only focuses on privileged access to sensitive systems.

“Your entire company network was compromised, all through a single login.” That’s the reality of an employee single sign-on (SSO) breach nightmare. Hackers create fake SSO login pages in order to steal employee credentials, which can literally give them “the keys to the kingdom” – access to the most sensitive data of the organization. From a disgruntled ex-employee to a compromised user, it can become a devastating security hole. It happens more than you think.
