Zero Trust has been a concept since 2009 when Forrester first realized that traditional security models operated on the outdated assumption that everything inside an organization’s network should be trusted. 14 years later, the rule of “Never Trust, Always Verify” has never been more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.

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.

Granting users with authorization to access sensitive business information means that you rely on them to adopt cybersecurity best practices. This trust is violated when a disgruntled employee acts maliciously and leaks sensitive information. What’s more concerning — the same violation is also possible when users unwittingly fall prey to social engineering attacks, zero-day exploits or vulnerabilities that remain unpatched in your IT networks.

In the ever-evolving landscape of cloud security, AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) plays a critical role in safeguarding your AWS resources. By following IAM best practices, you can fortify your cloud environment, mitigate risks, and maintain granular control over access permissions. In this quick guide, we will review essential IAM best practices, from implementing least privilege to leveraging advanced features.

While IT executives understand the essential role privileged access management (PAM) solutions play in their organization’s overall security strategy, they’ve also continued to ask their PAM administrators to do more with less resources. To meet these additional asks, PAM admins have automated routine PAM tasks using scripts. PAM automation scripts can significantly lessen the burden on PAM admins and enable organizations to scale PAM usage across their entire enterprise.

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.

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.

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.

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.
