Access Security

In the face of increasingly sophisticated cyber-attacks that exploit compromised user credentials, threat actors employ techniques like phishing, credential stuffing, and brute-force attacks to gain unauthorized access to systems, applications and sensitive data. Hence, Access security has become a critical concern for most of the organizations.

Customers majorly face below challenges in securing their User-Access:

• Managing User sprawl and Access Creep: As companies grow, the number of users and applications they use multiplies. This makes it difficult to keep track of who has access to what, and for how long. Excess permissions can create vulnerabilities if not properly monitored.
• Insider Threats: Disgruntled employees or those with malicious intent can be a major security risk. Even trusted users can accidentally expose sensitive data.
• Phishing and Social Engineering Attacks: Cybercriminals are adept at tricking users into revealing sensitive information or clicking on malicious links.
• Balancing Security and Usability: Strong security measures can sometimes be inconvenient for users. Finding the right balance between robust security and a user-friendly experience is a constant challenge.  
• Access Certifications and Reviews: Regularly reviewing and certifying user access privileges to identify and remove excessive/unnecessary permissions.
• Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC): Defining, implementing and maintaining granular, least-privilege RBAC models aligned to user roles/responsibilities.
• Access Governance and Auditing: Establishing robust access governance processes, maintaining audit trails, and ensuring regulatory compliance.
