BYOD and SaaS adoption have been growing for years, and today, employees expect seamless access to the tools they need – wherever they work, on whatever devices they choose. They’ve taken control of their work environment, selecting applications and devices that best suit their needs, often outside of IT’s visibility. This shift has created a significant security challenge: traditional IAM, IGA, and MDM solutions were built for a controlled, managed environment.

Manufacturing organizations need Privileged Access Management (PAM) for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) security because it protects critical systems and devices by ensuring that only authorized users have access. IIoT refers to a network of connected devices that work together to collect and analyze data across industrial sectors to improve operational efficiency. As IIoT becomes increasingly integral to manufacturing, securing these connected systems is more important than ever.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) helps add an extra layer of security to accounts, but it’s important to understand that not all MFA methods are created equal in terms of ease of use and security. In this blog, we’ll go over the different types of MFA methods, along with the pros and cons of each.

As cyber threats continue to evolve, addressing cybersecurity challenges is more urgent than ever. Traditional passwords, long considered foundational to digital security, are increasingly vulnerable to sophisticated attacks like phishing and credential stuffing. With cybercriminals becoming more adept, businesses need more secure and reliable authentication methods. Enter passkeys – an innovative step forward in authentication technology.

When deciding between an on-premises or cloud-based Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution, a cloud-based PAM solution is recommended because it is easier to manage, highly scalable and cost-effective. Continue reading to learn more about the differences between on-prem and cloud PAM, the pros and cons of each and the important factors to consider when choosing the right solution for your organization.

Depending on the size of your organization, its needs, industry regulations and security risks, how often you review privileged access can vary. However, a best practice for most organizations is to review privileged access quarterly to maintain a strong security posture. Continue reading to learn more about the importance of reviewing privileged access regularly, best practices and how KeeperPAM streamlines privileged access reviews.
