Understand risks and implement best practices
As organizations continue to evolve, leverage the cloud and the Internet of Things, and collaborate more closely with third-party companies, machine identities are becoming a larger part of the threat landscape, to a much greater extent than human identities. This poses significant challenges for security teams around the world as the number and sophistication of cyberattacks increases.
Identity management ensures that the right people, whether humans or machines, have the right access to the right resources at the right time, for the right duration, and for the right reasons. Unfortunately, many organizations do not have identity security programs in place that address the new paradigm that machine identities are creating in cybersecurity or are struggling to accommodate them in hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
If you’re concerned about protecting machine identities or just want to learn more, Machine Identity in Cybersecurity and IAM from the Cloud Security Alliance is a must-read. This paper provides an overview of machine identities and the implications of their use, including:
- The current state of cyber risk in Australia
- The regulatory environment and recommended compliance models
- How Saviynt’s Enterprise Identity Cloud enables an identity-based approach to risk mitigation and compliance
