Security Starts Here – Privileged Access Management

Unfortunately we can’t control the activities of our administrators with an invisible Vader-like grip. And if these permissions fall into the wrong hands, even the ‘ultimate power in the universe’ of can’t save us. The threat of a security incident or critical error is very real, and it’s something that auditors are focused on. After all, some damage can be done through a standard user account, but the potential damage is much greater if the compromised account has ‘superuser’ access rights, as demonstrated in this news report excerpt.

The One Identity family of solutions includes each of the capabilities discussed in this report. It includes the breadth to cover not only your AD-centered needs but also identity governance and administration and privileged access management regardless of the location of resources – on-prem, in the cloud, or hybrid. One Identity is different from most IAM vendors, because it offers the business-centric, modular and integrated approach that has been so elusive in legacy solutions and offers the breadth missing in AD, IGA and PAM point solutions.

The Breach Prevention Playbook

Identity and access management (IAM) – which exists to ensure that the right people can get to the right resources and that you can prove they are doing it right – is the most effective, and proactive, tool in the fight against breaches. Once the basics discussed earlier are satisfied, IAM will provide the biggest security bang for the buck. After all, a breach is nothing more than the wrong person getting their hands on something they shouldn’t, and you don’t find out about it until it’s too late.

This ebook will address various facets of IAM, how they play in breach prevention, and some detail on technology solutions from One Identity.

Strategies for successfully managing privileged accounts

One of the most important aspects of an identity and access management (IAM) program is the securing, management and governance of the accounts belonging to superusers — privileged accounts.

Privileged account management (PAM) ensures that administrators and superusers with privileged accounts have the access they need to do their jobs. Organizations that rely excessively on sudo, credential vaults and the best intentions of administrators have difficulty complying with governance requirements, but they can get PAM right by following a few simple guidelines and rules.

One Identity for privileged account management offers a credential vault, audit capabilities and a suite of solutions for control of administrator access across the enterprise, helping organizations manage their privileged accounts successfully.

Location Matters: Considerations for Moving to the Cloud.

Today, it’s no longer a question of moving IT to the cloud — it’s about choosing the best way to do it for your particular business requirements.

Before any cloud migration takes place, you’ll need to make some big decisions about which models make the most sense for your business.

The deployment model describes how you will use the chosen infrastructure, regardless of whether it is located on- or off-premises and who owns the actual equipment.
On the other hand, a service model describes the degree of management and control you want over what you run on the cloud infrastructure.

This eBook explores these considerations and more that could affect your decision. Download this eBook with Quest to learn how to choose the right deployment model for your business.

Moving Your Databases to the Cloud

Are you thinking about moving your databases to the cloud or making the transition to data- base as a service (DBaaS)?

With cloud computing vendors offering more services at lower prices, the barriers to spin- ning up cloud resources are diminishing. But there are few black-and-white questions in technology and even fewer in business, which is why smart companies look at all the shades of gray in an innovation like the cloud-based database before they commit on a large scale.

In this ebook, we’ll examine the what, why, when, where and how of database cloud computing. This overview of the current cloud landscape includes answers to the most commonly asked questions and a number of important but frequently overlooked points. Database administrators (DBAs) and managers will gain a better view of the path to the cloud, whether they are preparing to migrate two dozen web pages or two dozen years of trans- action history.

Networking Guru’s Guide to Verification

Today, networks have become so large and complex, along with constant changes to accommodate new services and business requirements, that networking teams can no longer document or manage all the details end-to-end. With potentially tens of thousands of devices and billions of lines of code, until now there has been no way to automate the analysis of network designs to quickly verify what devices you have, how they’re connected, where traffic goes, whether it’s really working, or what needs to change. Network verification is a rapidly emerging technology that provides deep insight to network behavior end-to-end, as well as automating many network troubleshooting and remediation tasks. Organizations are leveraging verification to help avoid outages, facilitate compliance processes and accelerate change windows.
