Is your Identity system as secure as it should be?
Sometimes it’s hard to maintain the right level of security, especially when businesses are having to adapt so fast.
Unsure about your
security settings?
Sometimes it’s hard to maintain the right level of security, especially when businesses are having to adapt so fast.
This is particularly true when it comes to assessing whether your current user permissions and access settings are adequate for your business. Sometimes it’s easier to grant your users with full access to data and resources, regardless of whether they need it or not.
You might forget to remove or update a user’s access if they change roles or leave the company. As businesses continue to open up their environments to take advantage of cloud computing, remote working and other technological advances, ensuring that your user access permission settings are keeping up with these changes is imperative. Getting this wrong can have dire consequences for a business, both financially and to their reputation.
Assertiv Consulting can help you determine the most appropriate security settings for your organisation, based on your business requirements and risk appetite. Maintaining a “least privilege” approach to providing access to your important company data and assets means that your employees and contractors only have access to the resources that they need to do their job – nothing more, and nothing less.
Benefits of Implementing Appropriate Identity Security Settings
- Maintain control over who has access to what information and resources in your company
- Provide access flexibility and functionality to your workers whilst maintaining security
- Quickly respond to requests from the business for accessing new applications, without compromising security
- Reduce the risk of outsider attacks through multiple levels of security controls
- Ensure your working teams stay connected in a secure way
- Avoid ending up in the news for all the wrong reasons!
Recommendations
Key Considerations when Enabling a Secure Workforce
with Identity and Access Management
Identities – all worker’s identities (employees, contractors, suppliers) should be recorded in an identity store
Authentication – use multi-factor authentication such as a combination of passwords, face recognition, SMS tokens, etc. to prevent the wrong people from gaining access to company resources
Least Privilege Access – ensure workers only have permissions to access the information they need to do their job, and nothing more
Passwordless – a good password is one that’s hard to remember. Using Passwordless technology removes to need to keep track
Governance – having visibility of which workers have access to what information in your organisation is essential to a least privilege approach
