Identity & Access Management
Securely connect your workforce from any location with best-in-class identity and access management solutions
Small Business Security Guide
What is Identity & Access Management?
Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a set of processes, policies, and tools that work together to make sure that only the right people can gain access to the right systems and data. It protects against compromised user credentials and easily cracked passwords that are common network entry points for hackers who want to encrypt data or plant ransomware.
IAM is not just for employees anymore. Organisations must be able to provide secure access for contractors, business partners, vendors and customers.
The new way of working
Organisations are facing new challenges in providing seamless and secure access to organisations systems due to employees requiring the freedom to work from anywhere and on any device.
It is recommended that IT professionals who are responsible for security, leverage identity and access management trends to further evolve their
existing architecture. This is to ensure their processes can efficiently support their hybrid or multi cloud environments.
44%
of security professionals believe that an identity and access management solution will address their current security gaps.
MFA
In order to be eligible for cyber insurance without huge premiums, organisations are being told they must have a multi-factor authentication solution in place.
Drivers for change
Dispersed Workforces
Remote or hybrid working has driven the requirement for employees to be able to connect their device from any location. This increases the attack surface for cybercriminals, leaving organisations needing to implement smarter mitigating controls to contain this risk.
Consolidation of Applications
The number of apps deployed by enterprises has increased 68% over the last four years. Users can benefit from integrated access, allowing them to avoid duplicate steps for each individual platform.
User Experience
As both end users and admins conduct more of their interactions online, a less manual and more seamless experience is required to improve productivity and reduce user friction.
Migration to the Cloud
As many organisations migrate from on-prem applications to hybrid or multi-cloud environments, IT is tasked with deploying and managing access for an ever expanding and increasingly complex ecosystem.
"Our experience with Arctic Wolf’s MDR platform has been nothing short of exceptional to date. The service will be an invaluable asset in fortifying our cyber security defences. None of this would have been possible without the expert guidance of Xeretec who understood our requirements and found a solution that best suited our needs"
“I believe we now have the best-in-class email security solution for educating staff and have added a valuable layer of protection to bolster our existing investments. Deploying Tessian Defender has been a total win for Rutland. There is less work to do for us in IT and our staff now feel empowered to act as an additional layer of defence"
"By working with Xeretec we were able to leverage their strong partnership with Barracuda and gain a very competitive deal for the group. This played a pivotal part in our decision to go ahead with the investment"
