Elevate Your Organization's Security Posture with Automated Identity and Access Management (IAM) Processes

In today's cybersecurity landscape, manual IAM processes pose significant challenges, from time-consuming tasks to compliance risks. But there's a solution: automation and integration.

Streamlined Processes: Automating joiner, mover, leaver (JML) processes ensures timely access provisioning and revocation, reducing administrative burden and enhancing productivity.

Data Accuracy: Integration with HR and business systems guarantees accurate employee data, mitigating errors and inconsistencies in user access permissions.

Enhanced Security: Automation enforces consistent access controls, limiting the attack surface and mitigating insider threats.

Compliance Assurance: Comprehensive audit trails simplify regulatory compliance, minimizing the risk of violations and penalties.

The results?

Reduced audit findings, improved user experience, fortified security, and significant cost savings. In a world where cybersecurity and digital transformation are paramount, embracing automation and integration is the key to effective IAM and safeguarding critical assets.

In the world of cybersecurity, two terms that are often used interchangeably are "security" and "compliance." However, they are not the same thing. As cyber threats increasingly become a business-critical issue for all organisations, it is time for organisations to step up from simply being compliant to actually being secure.

So, what is the difference?

Cyber insurance is crucial for enterprise risk management, but it’s quickly becoming unaffordable. Premiums are increasing rapidly and new research shows that 82% of insurers believe that prices will continue to rise for the next two years.

This comes from our 2022 Cyber Insurance Market Trends Report, which is based on a survey of 400 decision makers in cyber insurance across the US and UK. It reveals what’s driving the increase in premiums and how the market will evolve in response to growing threats such as ransomware.

Account takeover fraud may sound like a familiar term in cybersecurity yet its prevention methods in the e-commerce domain are still nuanced. 

Retailers are historically concerned with payment fraud systems, related to chargebacks. This happens when a customer makes a purchase online with a credit card and then requests a refund from the issuing bank despite receiving the ordered goods or services. Better known as friendly fraud, this type of fraud makes it difficult for retailers to distinguish between trustworthy customers and fraudsters. Due to low-security infrastructures on e-commerce platforms, this risk for account takeover becomes increasingly high.

At the same time, trustworthy customers are frustrated with lengthy verification processes and the risk of stolen credentials due to account takeover fraud. As customers expect convenience with their online shopping experience they are continuously asked to jump through multiple security hoops to prove their identity and intentions. E-commerce retailers should act now to ensure their platforms are secure and convenient to maintain business relationships with online shoppers, avoid losing them to competitors, and lower cart abandonment rates.

Automated measuring of control effectiveness is a very good idea conceptually. When you can combine control gaps with relevant threat information, you get a very good picture about the actual technical cyber risks your business faces. If done correctly, it provides you with an end-to-end view of what is going on in your organization.

Cyber-attacks like ransomware are more successful now than ever before, even though companies invest heavily in internal defense measures.

This trend, plus the fact 90% of all successful cyber-attacks start with human error, makes it more important than ever to focus on the human factor of cyber security. This requires more than the ‘classic’ awareness training.

Here’s what’s wrong with zero trust when it comes to communication and data sharing platforms: it often doesn’t exist.

Don’t get me wrong: most applications that offer comms and data sharing do have security but …

Until recently, cyber awareness metrics have been treated by many as a tick-box exercise driven by regulations. The regulator requires x number of hours of cyber awareness training per employee per year, and once that is done, the organization ticks a box and waits until next year. Regulators require phishing simulations, so you run a campaign, see who clicks and who doesn’t, and there’s your result. Done.

Cyber-attacks like ransomware are more successful than ever - despite companies investing a lot of money into defensive measures. Along with the fact that 90% of successful cyber-attacks start with human error show the importance of the human factor in any cyber security program. What is needed is more than traditional cyber security awareness training.

Cyberangriffe sind so erfolgreich wie nie – und das obwohl Unternehmen sehr viel Geld in Abwehrmaßnahmen investieren. Umso wichtiger ist es, den Faktor Mensch im Sicherheitskonzept nicht zu vernachlässigen. Dafür braucht es aber mehr als klassische Awareness-Schulungen.

When software reaches EOL, it means that program will no longer be supported by the developer and there will be no more updates. Without updates and bug fixes, this software becomes vulnerable to hackers and cyber criminals.

At the end of 2019, Boston Consulting Group published a whitepaper called “The Race for Relevance and Scale” in which they analyzed how much digital technology is used in the different regions. They concluded digital transformation is already in full swing. At the end of 2019 in fact only 12% of all banking transactions were executed within branch offices with local banking employees.

‘The cyber awareness culture challenge is this: a lot of organizations think that the user is the biggest source of your security problems. Not many have thought to transform the human behind the computer into the strongest spearhead at the first line of defense. If you see someone as a source of a problem, it’s very different than if you think about empowering them to be an asset rather than a liability.’

‘In an ideal world, everything would be easy, connected, and simple. HR and IT would be aligned and know all the accounts this person has, internally as well as externally. Then everything would just disappear, and no-one could use the credentials anymore. Everything would be nice. The reality is often just completely different.’
