Cyber insurance is an increasingly critical part of an organization's approach to cyber defense and CISOs have realized that identity management and, in particular, Privileged Access Management (PAM) are some of the most important and influential aspects of any organization’s overall cybersecurity strategy.

In our previous blog, we touched on how your current identity governance access review processes and workflows may be a major factor in spreading identity fatigue across your organization. In this blog, let’s talk about how you can extend your identity governance far beyond identities and entitlements to protect/secure privileged access, applications, cloud infrastructure and all your critical data.

Vertical risk management and complete identity governance can only be achieved through the integration of critical platforms with other systems and applications in use and by either integrating existing point solutions or reducing their number altogether. Integration of an identity platform with SAP is one of those major challenges for many organizations today.

Privileged Access Management (PAM) plays a vital role in organizational security by enabling control and monitoring of privileged accounts and resources. These accounts possess elevated access privileges, making them attractive targets for attackers seeking unauthorized entry into sensitive systems and data. By implementing PAM, organizations can mitigate the risk of security breaches and data loss by enforcing strict access limitations on privileged accounts.

Here are two scenarios I come across frequently, with customers of all sizes, in all industries, when discussing One Identity Active Roles: These situations come from customers on all points of the "Identity Security Maturity" spectrum. Those who have nothing in place or some things in place or an entire stack of fully implemented solutions in every category.

In the fast-paced world we live in, where organizations face increasing threats to their security and protecting sensitive information, implementing robust security measures is paramount. Static passwords have proven inadequate in safeguarding data from unauthorized access and data breaches. However, there is a solution that addresses these vulnerabilities: time-based one-time passwords (TOTP).

Privileged accounts are the prime target of cybercriminals hoping to access an organization’s assets. Without a way to keep track of, secure, record and analyze privileged users and the privileged sessions they perform, it’s only a matter of time before a hacker finds their way into your more critical assets. That’s where setting Privileged Access Management standards comes in.

Privileged Access Management (PAM) is a crucial aspect of any organization's cybersecurity strategy, especially in industries that handle sensitive data, such as health care, finance and government. PAM involves implementing policies, procedures and tools to manage and monitor access to privileged accounts and limit the risk of unauthorized access or misuse. This ensures that only authorized personnel can access critical systems and data, reducing the chances of a security breach.
