Improve Security Posture With The Zero-Trust Security Model

Image
  There has been a sea change in how employees connect to and interact with the enterprise resources to get things done. The conventional network security model was programmed to connect staff to the data center's services they required. There were very few remote workers at the time and using an operationally complex VPN, they linked back to their home network. With the dramatic, unpredictable changes brought about by the pandemic, most workers now work remotely, and almost all businesses today use multiple public cloud services. Coupled with the security flaws associated with VPNs, these factors mean that the conventional model is no longer reliable. The Zero-Trust Security Model A critical weakness in the usage of remote access VPNs is that once users are authenticated, they are considered trustworthy and given complete access. As a consequence, once a hacker reaches the firewalls of an organization, with little resistance, if any, he/she can travel around the network. John Kind

Tips To Ensure Cloud ERP Security

Image
  Datasecurity is a critical problem, and business leaders are increasingly called on to help improve cybersecurity and detect threats. When switching from on-premise to cloud ERP, it's essential to note that cloud ERP systems come with adequate security measures. And then, additional security and exposure controls would need to be implemented by corporations. 74 percent of respondents had data protection concerns in a new survey, and 53 percent said they had data privacy issues and data loss problems. Ensuring Cloud ERP Security: Some Proven Strategies A breach of data can impact company activities and have disastrous implications for the company. A few approaches related to cloud ERP data security include the following: Developing A Security And Governance Strategy Involve executives and all workers in building a framework for data governance and determining security standards. Cloud ERP systems integrate enterprise-wide data, so it is likely that several departments ma

Getting The Best Out Of SSO And MFA

Image
  Combining a user ID and password to protect our most sensitive information is not good enough anymore. Identity theft, breaches of data, ransomware, and malicious actors mean that information security must change in order to stay ahead of security threats. Effective safety is compulsory for all organizations. The best security strategy must take into account the demands of the organization and the staff, balancing security, encryption, and ease-of-use. There are two key security solutions for many businesses, Single Sign-On (SSO) or Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), to choose from. To decide what's best for the organization, it takes careful consideration of the pros and cons of each approach. There is no reciprocal exclusion between the two mechanisms; both can be leveraged. However, knowing how to devote time and budget to one project over another can make all the difference. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) MFA uses many distinct factors to verify user identity and gr

Implementing Single Sign-On: Some Challenges

  SSO software can be applied to both the organization’s internal processes, giving employees better access to corporate services and customer-facing platforms, i.e., various applications, portals, or websites provided to customers by the company and requiring registration and login. SSO systems streamline the customer journey, synchronize customer credentials between various systems, ensure a seamless customer experience, unify customer management between e-commerce, CRM, ERP, etc. Challenges with Integration The key technological challenges when a company decides to opt for Single Sign-On are related to the integration of various systems during implementation. This refers both to the design and security of these systems. To facilitate communication between these disparate technologies, any middleware, i.e., a solution that will sit between all these systems and provide them with the Single Sign-On functionality is needed. Unique integrations must be produced for each of the appropria
