You can't stop the IT cloud revolution. Not that you'd want to: Cloud deployment offers much needed scalable capacity, business agility and, in many cases, dramatically lower operating costs. But you are on the hook to secure your organization's access. You need a new approach that that works with today's modern...
According to Verizon, 81% of hacking-related breaches involve either stolen and/or weak passwords. By eliminating multiple passwords and individual application log-ins, Single Sign-On (SSO) not only improves security posture, but significantly increases IT efficiency and user productivity.
While Single Sign-On...
Identity and Access Management (IAM) programs are becoming increasingly essential to securing critical systems and data; last year, companies spent $7 billion on IAM, most on protecting user credentials, but almost nothing protecting keys and certificates, the credentials that identify and authorize machine-to-machine...
Financial services institutions - from banking giants to brokerage firms - are under pressure to adapt. Cybercrime continues to rise, while both employee and customer expectations and demands increase in parallel. According to Verizon, 81% of hacking-related breaches involving either stolen and/or weak passwords....
Many organizations trying to secure privileged access for employees or vendors focus solely on the privileged credentials or identities. But that's only half the battle. Securing the access pathways is just as critical to protecting critical systems and data from cyber threats. This session outlines the six steps...
Access management is very important when it comes to managing access to cloud resources. Nowadays, a person typically has to access numerous cloud apps throughout the day. This is a hassle for both users and IT: Users have to remember countless passwords; while IT need to endlessly reset forgotten passwords.
The...
Implementing cloud access management solutions increases enterprise access security, removes the ambiguity associated with cloud security and compliance risk-and no less important-ensures the most frictionless user experience.
Organizations that incorporate cloud access management into their cloud adoption strategy...
The latest statistics on data center breaches show that perimeter firewalls are still not impenetrable. But what cyber criminals count on is what they will find beyond the perimeter - a hardware-centric security model that has remained unchanged for years.

Why micro-segmentation...
As software as a service (SaaS) and cloud applications have grown in popularity, IT environments have become more distributed, fragmented and nebulous - with many components existing outside of the traditional security perimeter of firewalls and virtual private networks (VPNs).

This monthly Security Agenda will highlight some of the most recent additions to our course library. April's edition features Visa's SVP Risk Services, Margaret Reid discussing how to keep CNP fraud at Bay.

Data breaches feed the market for fraudsters to steal identities, which challenges traditional approaches to identifying the genuine from the fraudster. We hear that knowledge-based authentication is dead. But trust in any single defense is flawed. No single route to "trust" should be applied. We should never lose...
Many high-profile cyberattacks in the healthcare sector have involved gaining access to privileged accounts. Once hackers establish a privileged foothold, they gain unfettered access to elevate privileges and move about the network freely without detection. Understanding this widely used method of attack is essential...
Along with DNS, digital keys and certificates are at the foundation of any layered cybersecurity defense. Moreover, keys and certificates are akin to HLAs (Human Leukocyte Antigens) because they serve as unique identifiers giving authorized users access to encrypted systems.
But vulnerabilities, such as Heartbleed...
