SecOps Best Friend? Automation.
Security automation is now a top concern for enterprises as the attack surface expands given more remote workers, more devices, and new attack vectors in the cloud.
Automation is rising because IT leaders are realizing it paves the way to reducing risks, gaining greater visibility into their networks, and getting the most from their security investments.
Privileged Task Automation Frees Up Time for Stressed Out IT Teams
Automation technologies, from Robotic Process Automation (RPA), to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), are transforming business processes and operating models. These are relatively new categories, and most enterprises do not yet have the skills to implement automation technologies successfully, including Privileged Task Automation (PTA) associated with a robust Privileged Access Management (PAM) posture.
Zero Trust Plus Zero Touch Equals Exponential Benefits
Apps are increasingly moving to the cloud, especially as more and more people are working remotely and expect to access them from anywhere, any time, on multiple devices. Despite that, the way enterprises secure access to applications has largely remained unchanged, as they are still focused and dependent on the corporate network perimeter.
More Than Zero Trust: Zero Touch Privileged Access Management Solutions Save Time, Reduce Risk
We have all found ourselves in a different world of work given the events that have defined 2020, and few professionals are feeling the pressure more than IT and OT teams.
Enterprise Risk Appetite Frameworks Should Include PAM
Just as cyber risks evolve, the evolution of risk appetite frameworks is more active than ever. With more sophisticated adversaries, more digital transformation initiatives, more mobile works, ecosystem partnerships and connectivity to multiple clouds and services, enlightened management teams and their boards are updating their levels of “risk tolerance.”
The Future of Multifactor Identification in Privileged Access Management
Two-factor authentication has been around for decades – requiring an additional step between entering a username and password, for example, then entering a one-time security code sent to a mobile device – to access applications, systems and data.
Five Best Practices for Modern Security Governance
Corporate information security governance is a foundation upon which organizations can build an increasingly significant part of their overall risk management platform. The foundation of a successful security governance program begins with strong upper-level management support, including the CEO, Chairman and Board Members.
Bringing Cloud Security Down To Earth: Beware of Third-Party Infrastructure Access Agreements
Data Privacy Day is held on the 28th of January every year, and is designed to raise awareness among businesses, governments, and other organizations on not only the right to privacy, but the responsibility associated with protecting the data of customers, citizens and consumers.
Authentication, Authorization and Access Management: The Cloud Changes Everything for Enterprises
Cloud computing combines diverse networked devices and an array of services. While cloud service providers tout the simplicity and cost savings associated with moving to the cloud, the architecture of cloud computing creates new security headaches as the attack surface expands.
