How to Protect Your Organization From Insider Threats
Technology becomes outdated in the blink of an eye. Similarly, a new security system deployed today to secure infrastructure or data is almost inherently going to be less secure tomorrow. In an era of fast communication, there are lots of people eager to break new technology — to find vulnerabilities and weaknesses in systems, ethically or unethically. However, it’s not always malicious actors outside the organization who are at fault.
Identity Is the New Perimeter — But Where's Its Firewall?
First, it was the firewall that shielded the perimeter of our networks from outside intrusion. Firewalls are still a necessary tool in any cybersecurity system, but as more data access came from beyond the internal network, the perimeter shifted to endpoints. With cloud computing, mobile devices, the Internet of Things (IoT) and the like, much of our information is stored and accessed far away from the original network perimeter.
How Multifactor Authentication Can Help U.S. Government Contractors Achieve DFARS Compliance
To say that organizations today are concerned about cybersecurity would be a gross understatement. Every time we turn around, there are reports of incidents where cybercriminals have either gamed a global social media tool or compromised a corporate customer database.
Why Multifactor Authentication Is Crucial to Strengthen Mainframe Security
Mainframes are built to be far more reliable and scalable than common endpoints and systems. However, the security guarding the valuable data they hold may not always meet the same standard. But what can be done to strengthen mainframe security? Today’s most advanced mainframes can process billions of high-value transactions per day — and if you’re authenticating users with passwords alone, it may be time to go multifactor.
It's Time to Take Advantage of Multifactor Authentication for Mainframe Security
In 2018, organizations that trust passwords alone to manage access to their critical business information are like Cro-Magnon hunters protecting their tribe with a stone ax. While it’s a simple and comparatively easy solution to implement, it isn’t a viable approach in an increasingly competitive digital business environment. It also doesn’t provide enough protection to combat real risks that exist today.
IBM Named a Leader Again in the 2018 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Access Management, Worldwide
For the second consecutive year, Gartner has named IBM a leader in its Magic Quadrant for Access Management, Worldwide report. We believe this placement provides excellent validation of our leadership in identity and access management-as-a-service (IDaaS) at a time when customers are embracing the cloud as the new consumption model for enterprise security. Further, our position on the vision axis indicated a strong understanding of the IDaaS marketplace.
