Internet of Things Era to Rapidly Change Business Processes and Security
The Internet of Things (IoT) is already changing how companies operate at almost every level of their business and in their interactions with clients and personnel. According to Business Insider, there are 1.9 billion interconnected devices today, with an expected 9 billion by 2018. By then, the number of IoT devices in use will surpass the number of smartphones, tablets and PCs combined.
Is Mobile Banking Safe?
The use of mobile devices is at an all-time high. According to a KPCB report, mobile digital media is now outpacing desktop usage. The report stated that adults with access to digital media use mobile 51 percent of the time compared to 42 percent for desktop usage and 7 percent for all other devices. These statistics are far from shocking. Walk into a bustling restaurant during lunch hour and you will see mobile devices in the hands of businesspeople, students, children, parents and even retirees.
Multistep Authentication Is No Longer Enough for PCI Compliance
Payment card industry (PCI) compliance has been a major concern for banking and e-commerce users. Providers need to satisfy several requirements to put their systems in an acceptable state to handle regulated data. The requirements and security assessment procedures published in April 2016 within Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) version 3.2 described several best practices that will become mandatory starting Feb. 1, 2018.
Secure Your Business Silently With Unified Identity and Access Management
When it comes time to secure your business and its critical resources against unauthorized access, it usually falls to the chief information security officer (CISO) to put tools in place to monitor user behavior and detect fraudulent — or potentially fraudulent — activity. This is a crucial role, because most data breaches are caused by cybercriminals and malicious insiders. User accounts can be compromised via phishing attacks and insiders can attempt to exfiltrate data.
Why Do Some Identity Governance Strategies Fail?
Identity governance comes along after organizations have already begun implementing identity and access management (IAM) tools and processes. Because it comes later in the IAM project, you are forced to organize and establish a new order to a working environment. It also means you will have to pull some people out of their comfort zone to create a better process for the company. This may be a challenge, and the disconnect can lead to project failures.
