The principle of least privilege will help organizations improve their security and protect their sensitive information from unauthorized access. Here are six ways organizations can implement the principle of least privilege. 1️⃣Define roles and permissions 2️⃣Invest in a PAM solution 3️⃣Enforce MFA 4️⃣Automatically rotate credentials for privileged accounts 5️⃣Segment networks 6️⃣Regularly audit network privileges KeeperPAM™ is a privileged access management solution that helps simplify privilege management by combining Keeper Enterprise Password Manager (EPM), Keeper Secrets Manager (KSM) and Keeper Connection Manager (KCM) into one, unified solution. #KeeperPAM

You are spot on, Robert Forbes..."many organizations have an IAM Platform but no IAM Program" This is insane. Why have zero trust MFA when you can have absolute trust with a biometrically protected, passwordless, de-centralized and un-shareable FIDO2 authenticator!?!?!? Usernames and passwords cannot die fast enough. #innovation #cybersecurity #identitysecurity

Not only does this article underscore the need for MFA or other enhanced security controls for user accounts but also highlights something I still hear on a regular basis, even from F500 customers, "We're really good about giving people access but we suck at removing it" If your de-provisioning process is incomplete, ineffective, or just plain doesn't exist then you're asking to be in the same boat. De-provisioning is fundamental blocking and tackling for IAM get with the program people. Oh wait how many organizations have an IAM Platform but no IAM Program Get an IAM Program people https://lnkd.in/gEv-gPGU

Privileged credentials are a prime target for attackers: Their high-level access makes them extremely valuable. Organizations often lack mature access management practices: This contributes to the vulnerability of privileged accounts. Breaches involving privileged credentials are costly and time-consuming to resolve. The impact extends beyond immediate data loss. Unlike a traditional PAM product, SecHard offers a PAM solution that integrates with other Protection Visibility Control (PVC) areas recommended by the Zero Trust Architecture. SecHard not only gives privilege access to the right person but also performs the recommended PVCs that are required for the ZTA on all the network devices used in the connection and on the computer that makes the connection. Like all other PAM products, SecHard has a password vault. It can enable access to RDP, VNC, SSH, and Telnet without knowing the password and can record all the sessions in video and text format. Do you already have a PAM product? Don’t worry. SecHard can integrate with third-party PAM products and score their security hardening. Contact us!

If #identity is the new perimeter, and tools like #MFA and #SSO are so powerful, why aren't you using them to their full potential? The answer often lies in the misalignment between security and IT, leaving critical security capabilities underutilized and organizations vulnerable.
❓ Are you getting the most out of your IAM tools, or leaving security gaps wide open? If identity is the new perimeter, and tools like MFA and SSO are so powerful, why aren't you using them to their full potential? The answer often lies in the misalignment between security and IT, leaving critical security capabilities underutilized and organizations vulnerable. So, what can you do about it? Check out our IAM Solution Guide to learn how you can: 🔑 Make risk-based decisions: Tailor sign-on policies and use advanced IAM features to limit damage from credential compromise and reduce breach risks. 👁️ Take confidence in IAM: Gain unmatched visibility into IAM capabilities, enabling your team to monitor and manage security proactively. 📊 Manage resources strategically: Measure tool utilization and make data-driven decisions on whether to consolidate or expand licensing for maximum risk mitigation. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gRNQKHHu #IAM #SSO #MFA #Okta #MicrosoftEntraID

It is incredible how technology is changing, and how configurations are becoming simpler by the day, or at least they seem to be. With identity threats are about 80% of today’s attacks, we need to equip ourselves with the right technology. However, a technology-centric implementation can disrupt business operations significantly. It's essential to reflect on: - How do people within the organization interact with business processes? - How does technology enable these business processes? - What business risks does my organization face today? - How can I identify my security baseline? Answering these questions is crucial before enabling any security controls, as this can not only cause disturbances but also overwhelm the security and SOC teams with lots of false positives. Curious to know more? Download this whitepaper about ITDR(https://lnkd.in/eqHHUGXW), which covers some guidelines on implementing ITDR in your organization. Priya K.

According to the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, nearly 40% of breaches in the first half of 2024 involved multi-factor authentication (MFA) bypasses due to configuration errors. Note that this means that MFA was "deployed," but for one reason or another, was not "employed" in the incidents. These lapses in information security hygiene continue to plague organizations, and the reason is as simple as it is surprising: It is difficult to know whether information security tools have been deployed properly and deployed comprehensively. A comprehensive identity security posture management (ISPM) solution is crucial for organizations to gain insight into user activities, maintain control over access, mitigate risk of misconfigurations, and ensure compliance across complex systems. Yes, I know, yet another acronym, and potentially more tools to provide!?! Rest easy, this set of technologies is available from Palo Alto Networks as part of our SaaS Security Posture Management and CASB solutions from Strata by Palo Alto Networks.
