Directories, particularly your Microsoft directories, are where it all starts. Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID (formerly, Azure AD) contain accounts, computers and resources that form the cornerstone of your IT security infrastructure. At One Identity, we are speaking with more and more organizations coming to the realization that Active Directory, however "legacy", is more crucial than ever.
In an era where data security and access management are crucial, organizations are constantly on the lookout for modern ways to enhance their governance strategies. What if you could not only manage user identities and access rights but also extend this governance to protect privileged access, applications, cloud infrastructure and data? What if there was a comprehensive identity governance framework that could integrate and manage all your systems seamlessly?
Cyber insurance has become a key component of risk management for many organizations. However, it can be difficult to keep up with cyber insurance requirements and avoid high premiums. One of the best ways to secure better cyber insurance coverage and premiums is by implementing a solid Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution.
More and more organizations are moving towards a cloud-first strategy where they look to move their on-premises applications to SaaS offerings. This is especially true for customers looking to streamline their on-premises Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) application via a move to the Cloud.
Do your house guests still have access to your home after they’ve left, or overstayed their welcome? No, right? You would throw them out or take the keys back because they no longer require access. Guests in Azure are like house guests. Once they no longer need access, it's then time to take back the key so they no longer have access to the company's data and connected apps. Yet many organizations are inadvertently leaving themselves at risk of supply chain attacks.
In my days of AD administration, there was always a need for a select set of sysadmins to be granted high levels of permissions. In AD, this is typically a separate user admin account that is a member of the Domain Admins Active Directory group. There are a few other groups that are highly privileged(i.e. Enterprise Admins and Schema Admins) but the permissions required by these groups are generally more specific and therefore less populated.
In today's interconnected and rapidly evolving digital landscape, managing and securing identities within an organization has become paramount. The traditional approach to identity governance and administration (IGA) often falls short, leading to inefficiencies, security vulnerabilities and compliance challenges. However, with the advent of cloud-based IGA solutions, businesses can now unlock a new level of power, scalability and flexibility.
The recent rise of ransomware, attacks on supply chains and increasing costliness of privacy regulations has made cyber insurance an important topic of discussion. But it can be tricky to keep up with cyber insurance requirements. One of the most robust ways to meet those requirements is with multi-factor authentication (MFA).
In today's disconnected world, the task of managing privileged access has become increasingly challenging. The surge in remote work has exposed employees to new vulnerabilities as they access sensitive systems and data from unsecured networks and personal devices, making them attractive targets for cyberattacks. To combat these risks, organizations must adopt Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions.
