Identity Management – The hinge pin for user performance 

Who is allowed to do what?

One of the most common ways for cybercriminals to attack is by stealing user credentials, which allow them to infiltrate corporate systems and data- Sometimes operating quietly behind the scenes for a long time, and sometimes they cause more damage by demanding ransom from all or parts of an organization. To prevent losing control of your organization to the wrong people, it’s essential to manage your users’ identities and access.

Challenges and risks for your business:

Users having multiple passwords and logins for different systems, which increases the risk of forgetting, losing or sharing them with others.
Users having access to more data or resources than they need, which creates unnecessary exposure and violates the principle of least privilege.
Administrators having difficulties in tracking, auditing and reporting on user activities and access rights, which hampers compliance and accountability.
Administrators having to manually provision, deprovision and update user accounts across multiple systems, which is time-consuming, error-prone and inefficient.
Users and administrators having to deal with complex and inconsistent access policies and procedures across different systems, which reduces usability and security.

Automation and connectivity is great, but…

Nowadays, many organizations run their operations on a large number of technologies that are both automated and interconnected – to each other and to the outside world. Connectivity is great – it offers organizations and their users big flexibility and infinite potential to change and learn. Automation is also great – it’s a powerful tool that saves resources and can make sure people, platforms and systems are aligned. However, automation and external connectivity also expose the organization to more risks, if access falls into the wrong hands.

To prevent hackers and unhappy parties from causing too much damage, once they have breached your systems, identity management – managing which user accounts have which permissions – is essential to do well.

Who really needs access to those files?

Identity management is all about privileges: Who has privileges to access and do what? It is about mapping what can happen to your organization, if someone gains access to any user account, and tries to gain access and privilege laterally or vertically.

Does the marketing manager need access to the CFO’s calendar or OneDrive files? Does his secretary? To all of them? Really?
What are your processes for external contractors – what access privileges do they have?
Are you reviewing access on an ongoing basis?
Do you shut down access and accounts when people leave the company, or change jobs?

If user privilege is tied to user identity, rather than role, what are the consequences when people change roles within the organization?

Patch, educate and govern

The first steps to Identity and Access management are patch management, education, and policies and processes.

Are all the devices in your organization patched, so no executable code can get in?
Are your people trained to not open attachments in suspicious or even innocuous messages?
Are all your security systems up to task – firewalls, antimalware, spam filters, etc.
If your boss asks you to transfer a trillion dollars within the hour, and is not in-house or reachable by phone to verify the request, what do you do?
