Consider this. You are an IT leader at an enterprise organization. You have not been living under a rock, and therefore are well aware that companies across the world struggle with cybersecurity. Whether its teaching employees how to spot a potential phishing attack or dealing with the fallout from a ransomware hack – one fact of life remains certain: data...

When you think of your home environment, do you view it as your sanctuary — the place where you feel the most secure and private? A handful of years ago, I would have expected most people to answer that question with a resounding yes. At that time, the heightened focus on the internet of things (IoT) was not what it...

Privacy is over. The concept of privacy as we know it has evolved. And privacy for you and me does not mean the same thing.  Many of us have relinquished our own privacy by oversharing our lives on social networks, which have been exploited in various ways.  In some cases, we revolt and claim that we have a right to...

Humans have an innate need to minimize risk. Using the sights, sounds and scents surrounding us to guide us to safety has been our mechanism for survival and self-preservation for millions of years. While our sense of risk has not faded, as technology has woven its way into every facet of our lives, our ability to manage the risk surrounding...

Today, that digital identity extends to the company you work for. With the...

Despite daily headlines of data breaches, people continue to use unsavory security practices by using their favorite bands or loved ones as their password. Just this...

By now, we have all heard of direct-to-consumer DNA testing services. They have grown in popularity in recent years in large part because, as humans, we are innately curious, and given the digital transformation underfoot, digitizing DNA is no longer far-fetched. I was first of the opinion that little argument could be made about the validity and utility of such consumer DNA...

Navigate ’18 in Barcelona brought together hundreds of identity professionals across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The diverse group of people who attend the conference to share their perspectives, experiences and thoughts on the future of identity blows me away each year. An exciting addition to this years’ Navigate Europe program was the Women in Identity Breakfast. We invited...

SailPoint has been conducting the Market Pulse Survey for ten years now, and despite the overwhelming changes in the cybersecurity industry – including the drastic increase in data breaches and the resulting impact on a company from a financial and reputational standpoint – this year’s survey found that employees’ cybersecurity habits are still not improving.
