Access Management for Privileged Users
Leveraging privileged access management, various clouds and their users can be helped in a controlled fashion. When planned properly, the strong access rights are protected in a way where the malicious users have more difficult access to the privileged accounts decreasing breaches, while the correct users see benefits of simpler access to the various cloud services.
When moving to the cloud, agility and speed is the key and as a result management of privileged users may be initially be seen as a burden. These may include root or admin accounts, privileged user accounts, service accounts, application accounts or domain admin accounts. The burden is often initially ignored resulting in privileged rights being shared throughout different organizations and companies with eg. the cloud service provider, application developers, system integrator, internal developers etc. As the amount of different clouds and privileged users grows the management of these become a very time-consuming or less secure practice. Additionally, accounts with higher access rights than regular users, or privileged accounts, are frequently misused in breaches.
Social Engineering
Sometimes adversaries choose to attack human weaknesses instead of the technical equipment to launch a cyberattack against an organization. This type of attack is known as social engineering. Our approach to educating your personnel to defend against social engineering is to combine classroom training, computer-based courses, and a gamified exercise. Some or all of these components make up the training that increases resilience against social engineering.
