Despite large financial and time-intensive investments into access management tools and cybersecurity solutions, a business’ critical assets still remain vulnerable and prone to attack.

When it comes to securing privileged credentials, companies often turn to enterprise password managers or privileged access management solutions. This leads organizations to ask, “Which solution is best?"

There’s one question every organization needs to be able to answer: What are the company’s specific critical access points? It’s easier asked than answered, and depending on the system, the users, the assets, and a few other factors, critical access varies by organization and use case.

Every organization will be quick to say that their systems are secure, and a breach won’t happen. In fact, according to a recent report by Skybox Security, 73% of CIOs and CISOs are "highly confident" they will not suffer an operational technology breach in the next 12 months.

The termination gap can cause all kinds of trouble. That length of time between an employee leaving their role and their user access being de-provisioned is when dangerous activities can occur -- including a malicious breach by that internal user -- and the truth is, organizations aren’t worrying enough about it. 

Many in the managed service provider (MSP) market are turning to Imprivata to complement their security offerings by implementing a solution that lowers liability, increases efficiency of remote connections, and exceeds clients’ security, audit, and compliance needs.

While access governance is the big picture, policy-building part of Critical Access Management, access control is the double-locks and extra protections that help keep an organization’s most valuable assets safe.

Five key questions to ensure a strong risk profile with cyber security insurers and minimize the cost of skyrocketing premiums.
