Centralised Control Simplifies Management, Boosts Security

The goal of this survey was to capture hard data on current experiences, trends and approaches to Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), Privileged Access Management (PAM) and account management and Identity SaaS.
A total of 1,005 qualified individuals completed the survey. All participants had direct responsibility for IT security and were very knowledgeable about the IAM and privileged access approach at their company. A wide range of industries, countries, and company sizes were represented.
This white paper explores the risks associated with privileged access, and explains how solutions from One Identity mitigate those risks with granular access control and accountability.
This paper is intended for CIOs, IT directors and managers, security and compliance officers, and administrators, especially those who have not established firm control over all of their organizations’ privileged user access.
This white paper will explain why privileged identities pose such a risk to enterprises, how they are compromised by attackers, how current methods fail to stop these threats, and how your organization can protect itself.
Events and breaches over the last few years have exposed, in a high-profile way, particular vulnerabilities of our modern IT environments. It’s obvious now that perimeter security alone is no longer sufficient to protect our highly dynamic, connected and mobile enterprises. Additional drivers, such as insider threats, emphasize the need to protect identities. And a key component of identity management for most organizations is Active Directory (AD). As 95 percent of enterprises rely on AD as their primary authentication mechanism, AD is a popular target for the bad guys
One of the fastest growing segments of the Identity and Access Management (IAM) market is the cloud segment. Increasingly, companies are choosing to move at least part of their security infrastructure to cloud-based solutions. Even if you still run critical IAM service on-prem, there’s a great chance you manage and integrate with cloud applications
Identity and access management (IAM) sits at the very core of effective security. But what exactly is IAM? And, how can it improve my security stance? It seems to be too complex, too broad and too expensive for my needs.
Read on to learn the answers to your questions and to see how IAM – or key aspects of it – are exactly what your organization needs.
Today, more than ever, organizations must address the proliferation of cloud-based applications. While these apps often provide convenient and flexible access for employees and customers, they also present a new set of management and security challenges for IT and line-of-business managers.
Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) administration and management includes 12 major tasks. These tasks cover a wide breadth of business needs and are not all performed solely by AD DS administrators. In fact, administrators can and should delegate several tasks to other members of their technical community, technicians, help desk personnel, even users such as team managers and administrative assistants. While delegation is a way to reduce the amount of work administrators have to do when managing AD DS infrastructures, it really only addresses one or two of the 12 tasks, for example, user and group administration as well as end point device administration. The other ten tasks can be staggering in nature — security, networked service administration, OU-Specific Management, Group Policy Object management and many more — and because of this can take up inordinate amounts of time,
To protect refugees, employees and supply transports—plus minimise costs—the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) wanted to standardise the management of Active Directory. After evaluating solution options, DRC deployed One Identity Active Roles. As a result, DRC established user templates and automated workflows for governing access for 7,000 global employees. Today, DRC can provision new users in an hour. IT staff have greater control over who can access which applications and data. And the organisation has increased staff efficiency, boosted savings and simplified regulatory compliance.
Active Directory is everywhere and Azure Active Directory (AAD), its cloud-based cousin, is quickly gaining ground. Currently, nearly ninety percent of organizations worldwide are using Active Directory (AD) for on-premises resources (aka on-prem). That represents 500 million organizations and somewhere around 10 billion daily authentications. In fact, in the world of identity and access management (IAM), AD has become unavoidable and absolutely necessary for on-prem user authentication and authorization. You have to go through AD. It’s just how it’s done. Now, mix in the cloud – and Azure AD– and your management complexity just skyrocketed – and you could be in for a world of pain, if your on-prem or cloud identity environments are not managed and synced properly.
You CAN achieve continuous compliance. We’ll show you how.
Compliance is already a huge challenge for hybrid enterprises. But what makes it even harder? There are four common myths that can lead you down the wrong path, wasting your valuable resources and limited time and budget.
Don’t fall for the common myths that lure you into non-compliance! The TRUTH is that:
Firewalls are core to defending your network. But complex modern networks—and the simple passing of time—tend to make your firewalls weaker.
Firewall rule bases accumulate outdated, redundant and shadowed rules. So, if it’s time to clean up your firewalls, FireMon can help. Check out our white paper, “Firewall Cleanup Recommendations.”
Manual change processes create far too many opportunities for mistakes and misconfigurations. They also burden overworked staff who should be doing higher-value projects.
