The Cybersecurity Regulatory Crackdown

October 26, 2017 | Juliette Rizkallah | Market Views

We claim we are in a new era of cybersecurity threats and that ransomware is the threat du jour, given how WannaCry and Petya continue to make waves. But we are also in an era of a new wave of cybersecurity regulations. When looking at the latest attacks, some would argue that the same old vulnerabilities are to blame, and that is because organizations are dragging...

Preparing the C-Suite for Cyberattack

October 10, 2017 | Darran Rolls | Office of the CTO

In my previous blog post, I shared why the very thing that makes your C-suite great at their jobs – their visibility and accessibility – can also make them prime targets for attack. So the next question is how can you prepare them for that attack, while also protecting and maintaining the goals of your company? Here are a few...

C-Suite: The Easy Target for Hackers

October 5, 2017 | Darran Rolls | Office of the CTO

Your executives are the face of your company, often speaking at events, giving interviews to the media and traveling the world as key representatives of your brand. They’re visible and accessible, which are both great traits for leaders. However, this level of exposure also makes them (as well as the board) easy targets for hackers – and as technology advances,...

Admiral Nelson, Identity, and the Internet of Things

September 21, 2017 | Mike Kiser | Market Views

On October 21, 1805, the world changed. At the Battle of Trafalgar, British Admiral Horatio Nelson introduced a new strategy for naval warfare. Instead of lining up in a firing line opposite the enemy, he sailed his fleet directly into the enemy lines. The resulting chaos meant that sailors could no longer rely on location to identify friend and foe....

August 15, 2017 | Juliette Rizkallah | Market Views

Sailing in Rough Seas

December 7, 2018 | Keith Yarbrough | Engineering

We added some improvements to IdentityIQ 7.3 to make sure that your tasks and requests are not lost at sea. Problems can surface in many different ways: a network failure makes your database server temporarily unavailable; or, one of your SailPoint hosts crashes and is replaced with another; or maybe your database server goes down and it takes a while...

Identity is Security: Bots in the Wild

December 7, 2018 | Kari Hanson | Market Views

Coming off the heels of Gartner IAM in Vegas, one major theme coming out of the show was software bots. We spent some time on the show floor polling IT leaders and getting a pulse on how many businesses have introduced software bots into their business and IT environments – 70 percent said they were. What we discovered is that bots...

December 6, 2018 | George Hulme | Identity Working

Like all natural-born security professionals, Maurice Mo, Senior Director, Regional IT Security at insurance provider Prudential Corporation Asia, always has a backup. Mo began his career by launching a mobile infotainment company. But in the early 2000s, before smartphones were in every pocket, it proved to be an idea before its time. Mo’s backup plan?

The Bots Have Arrived

December 5, 2018 | Paul Trulove | Market Views, Happenings

A quick scan of the headlines this month show lots of chatter about ‘what’s next’ for those of us in security and identity as 2019 quickly approaches. That chatter has certainly picked up the pace from the show floor and in and around various sessions this week at the Gartner IAM Summit in Las Vegas this week. One trend we’ve...

The Power of Visibility

December 4, 2018 | Pamela Oren | Market Views

I recently had the opportunity to attend a banking software conference in Dallas, TX. After spending three days with banking IT professionals from all over the country, I realized something: No matter where you are, and no matter what industry you’re in, seeing and understanding the access your employees have is a tremendous challenge! Identity governance helps us tackle this...
