Industry 4.0 puts capabilities like interoperability, data transparency, and autonomous cyber systems into the service of industrial operations. The trend relates to cyber-physical systems, cloud computing and, the most pervasive of them all – the Internet of Things. Its openness, self-directed and interconnected nature creates new security challenges. Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions can play a key role in reducing the risk.
Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are used to remotely control and monitor a variety of industrial enterprises like manufacturing, electricity, water, oil, and gas. The systems operate mostly on remote commands that are pushed to physical stations and devices. These systems are crucial in controlling and monitoring operations to ensure ongoing operations and safety for the surrounding community.
Few people want to talk about the nitty-gritty of IT Security productivity, but the reality is that companies are spending ever-increasing amounts on IT security so productivity is a topic that isn’t going away.
In the world of cybersecurity, privileged access management (PAM) solutions are increasingly attractive for companies and organizations because they protect their most sensitive data and systems from cyber threats. How do you properly implement these solutions? Our expert replies in this exclusive interview.
Organizations are increasingly outsourcing the maintenance of applications to third parties. Providers of this type of service range from global giants like IBM and HPE to smaller, specialized firms as well as cloud service providers. There is much to like about the idea of having someone else maintain your applications. It is often less expensive than having in-house staff handle the workload. Plus, you don’t have to be concerned with retaining (or losing) application skillsets in your IT department.
