Identity Access Management - A Pillar of Zero Trust Security

In the modern interconnected world, securing organisations' critical data is more of a challenge than ever before, with new threats emerging on a near-daily basis, and the ongoing evolution of corporate infrastructure creating new attack vectors that must be identified and secured. However, when establishing a robust security posture, it is important to bear in mind that many of the strategies employed by cyber criminals are, in fact, new variations of familiar threats. 

While such attacks may seem simplistic at first glance, they still present a serious threat to the integrity of critical data. For example, a recent survey found that 61% of data breaches occurred when an employee's credentials were stolen by bad actors.

With hybrid working now the norm across the public and private sectors, and employees connecting, communicating, and collaborating across a growing range of channels, the risk to their digital identities and, in turn, organisations' critical data has never been greater. An effective approach to cyber security must therefore incorporate multiple aspects of Identity Access Management (IAM), supporting the implementation of true zero trust security.

That's why EXPO.e Networks offers a full range of leading-edge IAM solutions, ready to seamlessly integrate with the rest of our managed IT services. 

The elements of world-class IAM

  • Centralised management of all user identities. Managing all user identities through a single pane of glass will support the consistent application of all security policies and simplify the process of onboarding new employees.
  • Full control and visibility of access and authentication. Any time someone requires access to critical data, through any channel, on any device, systems must be in place to authenticate them, utilising role-based permissions and zero trust principles.
  • Ongoing monitoring and auditing. The cyber security landscape is constantly evolving, and so security ecosystems must evolve in parallel, ensuring best practice is always followed, compliance obligations are met, and the latest threat intelligence acted upon. Regular auditing, conducted by a trusted third part, and ongoing analysis of all access data is therefore essential.
  • Cloud-ready by design. Cloud transformation shows no signs of slowing down, with employees at all levels utilising and a growing range of Cloud-based platforms as part of their day-to-day work. An effective IAM solution must take this into account, with systems in place to ensure seamless access to such platforms can coexist with the highest standards of control, visibility, and security.
