Rethinking IAM: What Continuous Authentication Is and How It Works

Multiple reports show that people don’t take the necessity to pick secure passwords for their login credentials and personal devices seriously enough. According to Verizon’s 2022 Data Breach Investigations Report, 80% of incidents resulting from hacking attacks involved weak and compromised passwords. These findings make us wonder whether confirming a user’s identity just once at login is enough. Should this be a repeated procedure?

How proper use of Identity and Access Management (IAM) can protect your organization from breaches.

In the world of security, authentication, and authorization methodologies are foundational aspects of defense. Authentication techniques protect against unlawful entry to systems through the verification of a user, and authorization either grants or denies the verified user’s access level.

In light of these issues, corporations need a way to securely provide always-on cloud access for users while safeguarding enterprise data anywhere it goes.

Defending yourselves from cybersecurity ghosts, vampires, and zombies

It’s very likely that as a kid you would have dressed up as something scary for Halloween and walked around your neighborhood filling buckets with sweets. I couldn’t wait for Halloween. Even as I got older, I would look after my younger cousins (stealing some of their sweets in the process), or meet up with friends to watch scary movies, or attend fancy-dress parties! I bet most of you even do that today.

The Single Vendor SASE Unicorn Halloween Costume

If you are unfamiliar with single vendor SASE, here is what it is. Per Gartner, SASE is a converged network and security service which is delivered as a service.
