As Big Tech is under attack from Congress and the public about how they handle and monetize customer private data, some companies have chosen to pivot. Instead of collecting and profiting off of consumer data, their focus is on protecting privacy.
The Colonial Pipeline hack, in the end, came down to poor access management. The hackers found their way into operational technology (OT) through a VPN password that had never been de-provisioned. A small error that cost millions.
The termination gap can cause all kinds of trouble. That length of time between an employee leaving their role and their user access being de-provisioned is when dangerous activities can occur -- including a malicious breach by that internal user -- and the truth is, organizations aren’t worrying enough about it.
Every organization will be quick to say that their systems are secure, and a breach won’t happen. In fact, according to a recent report by Skybox Security, 73% of CIOs and CISOs are "highly confident" they will not suffer an operational technology breach in the next 12 months.
There’s one question every organization needs to be able to answer: What are the company’s specific critical access points? It’s easier asked than answered, and depending on the system, the users, the assets, and a few other factors, critical access varies by organization and use case.
Understanding critical information, critical access points, and how to best employ critical access management begins with three key aspects: frequency, risk, and urgency.
As technology continues to evolve, cyberattacks are becoming more sophisticated. Many organizations focus their cybersecurity efforts only on outsider threats, hence creating more loopholes for insider threats. These companies don’t see the possibility of losing sensitive data due to negligence or the malicious intent of their own people.
It’s hard to know what’s happening with critical access and assets if no one is watching. Access governance can create a secure system, and access controls can add friction, but you don’t know who is actually accessing what unless there are eyes on it.
Access governance is crucial when it comes to securing an organization’s critical access points and assets. But access governance alone isn’t enough. To add another, important, layer of security and mitigate mounting cyber threats, an organization needs to add friction and visibility as well as reduce risks when it comes to access rights.
Health systems today are more vulnerable than ever to data breaches and malicious cybercrime. Regular user access reviews are a key part of securing critical data, but it comes with challenges, costs and potential roadblocks.
