There’s a new cybersecurity challenge threatening the identity processes and systems of organizations worldwide: identity fatigue.

Privileged Access Management (PAM) is a critical component of any organization's cybersecurity strategy. Privileged accounts provide access to the most sensitive data and systems within an organization. As such, it's essential to manage them carefully to prevent unauthorized access, data breaches and cyberattacks. Here are some best practices for implementing PAM in your organization to ensure that your privileged accounts are secure and protected.

The gender gap in STEM fields is a huge problem. Women only make up 25.2% of the computer and mathematical occupations in STEM, even though these jobs are among the fastest growing and highest paid in the world. Why is this happening? What can we do to bridge the gap and get more women these lucrative careers? Those are questions we’re doing our part to solve at One Identity UNITE.

As cyber-attacks become more sophisticated and frequent, businesses are turning to cyber insurance policies as a means of protection. Increasingly, CISO’s and Board of Directors are eager to take advantage of “risk transference” as part of a holistic cyber risk management strategy. However, the cost of such policies can often be a significant concern for organizations.

Privileged Access Management (PAM) is a critical aspect of cybersecurity that helps organizations protect their sensitive data from unauthorized access. By controlling and monitoring access to privileged accounts, PAM solutions can prevent cyberattacks, data breaches and compliance violations. However, some organizations fail to implement PAM, leaving themselves vulnerable to various risks.

Identity and Access Management (IAM) in most organizations is typically provided by Access Management, Privileged Access Management (PAM) and Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) solutions. Unfortunately, many of these solutions work independently in silos, and efforts to integrate them to work together can be patchwork at best.

Privileged accounts are the root of most threat vectors. So, it’s critical to take proper precautions to prevent catastrophic breaches. However, it often takes extra time and effort to fully recognize and mitigate Privileged Access Management security risks that put your organization at risk.

Active Directory (AD) is the foundation of managing identities, provisioning users and issuing permissions to network resources. These permissions range from the lowest levels of access to the highest levels of admin rights for privileged users. While having control over these permission levels is useful, organizations can open themselves up to serious vulnerabilities if they don’t manage the permission levels carefully.

As an AWS Partner, One Identity is proud to announce that it is now even easier to leverage your existing AWS tooling with your OneLogin data. We are among the first partners to offer a new integration that joins tools, such as our previously released AWS EventBridge webhook. Now, AWS and One Identity have teamed to deliver an integration with AWS CloudTrail Lake, which allows you to store your OneLogin event data in AWS along with all your other data.
