Another category? Why we need ITDR

Posted on by

Technologists are understandably suffering from category fatigue. This fatigue can be more pronounced within security than in any other sub-sector of IT. Do the use cases and risks of today warrant identity threat detection and response (ITDR)? To address this question, we work backwards from the vulnerabilities, threats, misconfigurations and attacks that IDTR specializes in […]

From federation to fabric: IAM’s evolution

Posted on by

In the modern day, we’ve come to expect that our various applications can share our identity information with one another. Most of our core systems federate seamlessly and bi-directionally. This means that you can quite easily register and log in to a given service with the user account from another service or even invert that […]

Zero Trust Data Security: It’s Time To Make the Shift

Posted on by

How do you secure something that no longer exists? With the rapid expansion of hybrid-remote work, IoT, APIs and applications, any notion of a network perimeter has effectively been eliminated. Plus, any risk inherent to your tech stack components becomes your risk whether you like it or not.  Organizations of all sizes are increasingly vulnerable […]

Why Your Success Depends on Your IAM Capability

Posted on by

It’s truly universal: if you require your workforce, customers, patients, citizens, constituents, students, teachers… anyone, to register before digitally accessing information or buying goods or services, you are enabling that interaction with identity and access management (IAM). Many IAM vendors talk about how IAM solutions can be an enabler for productivity, about the return on […]

How to Create Identity and Access Governance In and Across Clouds

Posted on by

In March 2021, we posted a three-part series about whether cloud-native identity and access management (IAM) controls are good enough for an enterprise. Many of the points we raised at that time are still valid. However, the industry has developed and learned a lot since then. More companies and analysts now recognize cloud identity and […]
