Why Contextual Authentication?
Contextual authentication is gaining more and more prominence in the overall cyber threat and IT frauds prevention landscape. The risk stemming from IT fraudsters needs attention as the ‘bad actors’ often outsmart ‘good actors’ in the cyber warfare. The bad actors have an uncanny knack to deceive the security controls in place. Although organizations and […]
Endpoint Security: A tactical priority
Endpoint security is as important as identity governance and access management Information security receives significant focus these days. Amid increase in cyber-attacks, notably on endpoints, there is an urgent need to build a secure and reliable IT framework. Identity and Access Management (IAM) and cloud identity governance, several studies show, receive maximum IT security spending […]
Endpoint Security Revisited
Endpoint Security dominates the IT security concerns lately. Endpoint access anomalies—never taken into account before— surfaced all of a sudden due to the pandemic. The WFH scenario took everyone completely by surprise. Subsequently, protecting corporate data became a little more difficult. The end-users – out of the restricted on-prem periphery – use personal devices and […]
Privileged Access Environment: How to avoid chaos?
A privileged access environment often reminds the IT community of a maze. In both instances, chances are high to get lost in the way. Consider a maze, when we enter it, we are confident to make it. However, with every move, and every turn we take, we invariably start to lose our way. We go […]
Trust, Insiders and Colossal Damage

Privileged Access: Detecting the Blind Spots
Managing Privileged Access — is it a simple or complex task? Some readers may say a simple task, while probably many among us would argue that the question itself is vague. Vague in the sense that the privileged access environment is never static. The privileged access environment continuously evolves, so do the complexities associated with […]
Ready to Navigate New IT Use-cases?
The proliferation of machine identities necessitates enhanced identity governance framework. It would be fair to say that our digital ecosystem is ever-evolving. Technology advancements, IT innovations and automation have paved the way for increasing use of machine identities (non-human identities) for day-to-day operations. Indeed, machine identities outpaces human identities due to emerging use-cases. Consider this: […]
Five Musts to Mitigate Endpoint Vulnerability
To enforce deeper granular controls over endpoints is critical nowadays. Remote work culture essentially means managing devices both within and outside the network. Endpoint governance and robust access control policies provide the key components to prevent endpoint vulnerabilities. In this article, we discuss some of the best IT practices in mitigating endpoint vulnerability. Endpoints Mapping […]
Agility, Innovation and Access Control
The cloud-first approach is gaining prominence among the IT heads. Operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness are the obvious components that make the difference between traditional on-prem and public cloud data-centre architectures. In addition, there is a range of services, tools and infrastructure offered by cloud platforms to foster innovation. Take, for example, microservices, big data analytics, […]
