Financial institutions must protect themselves from salami attacks, which consist of a sequence of small, fraudulent transactions that can easily bypass detection but, combined, can result in considerable losses.
You must’ve heard it dozens of times by now: passwords are not secure enough to protect business data. But everyone mentions alternatives to passwords as if uprooting your current identity authentication system is a piece of cake.
When employing a zero trust strategy at an enterprise, cybersecurity teams must consider instituting a least privilege policy — providing only strictly necessary access credentials to employees and revoking them when no longer needed.
In the past, passwords were the key to accessing systems and platforms, and they held much value as a security measure for businesses. But over time, the threat landscape has evolved, and weaknesses have been discovered in standard encryption methods that have diminished the password’s value.
In this article we will delve further into the many risks to today’s digital identity solutions. We will also review the benefits of alternatives to passwordless authentication solutions using biometrics, and ultimately where the future of identity security could be heading long-term.
Nearly half (48%) of organizations do not have a user verification policy in place for password reset calls to IT service desks, according to a new Specops Software survey, which highlights social engineering vulnerabilities among IT service help desks.
While authentication and authorization might sound similar, they are two distinct security processes in the identity and access management (IAM) space. Authentication is the security practice of confirming that someone is who they claim to be, while authorization is the process of establishing the rights and privileges of a user. Here, we talk to Tehila Shneider about authorization, authentication, and why authorizations remains a problem that is mostly unsolved.
