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 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.
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.
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.
It is fair to say that few technologies have grabbed more news headlines in 2023 than ChatGPT. As an artificial intelligence (AI) language model, ChatGPT is a powerful tool that has the potential to revolutionize multiple business areas, including, but not limited to, marketing, operations, engineering, risk management, legal and employee optimization.
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.
