Infrastructure resources are some of the most sensitive and valuable assets across your network. Whether in the cloud or on-prem, controlling access to servers and databases is a top priority for IT and Security departments. While traditional methods are laser-focused on “protecting the keys”, admin credential breaches continue to slam organizations.
According to Forrester1, 80 percent of all hacking-related data breaches involve privileged access credentials. This illustrates that the legacy approach to Privileged Access Management (PAM) is no longer enough and requires a rethinking of how to protect against privileged access abuse in today’s dynamic threatscape. Centrify is redefining legacy-PAM by delivering cloud-ready Zero Trust Privilege to secure access to infrastructure, DevOps, cloud, containers, Big Data, and other modern enterprise attack surfaces.
Data breaches continue to be top of mind for organizations large and small. Three key dynamics are making that challenge much harder — the cloud, the growing sophistication of attackers, and dramatic growth in outsourced services.
Despite the growing number of security breaches and a greater understanding of the security best practices, businesses are still falling short when it comes to password management and authentication practices.
Relying solely on username and password security puts enterprise data at risk. Catastrophic security breaches top world headlines every day, and for good reason. IT organizations can’t rely exclusively on passwords to protect access to corporate data.
With up to 80% of breaches due to compromised credentials according to leading analysts, more organizations than ever are prioritizing privileged account protection. As Privileged Access Management (PAM) becomes top of mind, C-level, IT and cyber security professionals are seeking a framework in which they can properly assess, manage, and minimize risks to privileged credentials.
High profile breaches continue to make headlines weekly. Many of these breaches involve the use of compromised privileged credentials. Only a small percentage of cyber security professionals believe that user name and password-based security remains an adequate form of protection.
Privileged access remains the preferred vector for attackers, and most organizations aren’t taking the very basic steps to secure it
Systech International needed to improve the IT security of its on-premise data center in London by protecting access to sensitive information such as Finance, HR, and accounting data, as well as third-party access for IT system maintenance.
Learn the essentials of passwordless authentication and considerations for enterprise deployment.
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) can greatly enhance security while delivering a positive user experience.
Access control, a critical component of IT security compliance programs, ensures that organizations protect confidential information, like intellectual property and customer data. But your access management program can easily become outdated and static—especially if you rely on manual control testing and user access administration tasks.
