As cybersecurity concerns rise across all industries, as media and service companies, Telecommunications and Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) face particular challenges. With massive amounts of client data and critical infrastructure, they are tempting targets for hackers. Telecom and CSPs need security solutions that can adapt and evolve with them, and respond to challenges unique to their industries.
Previously, we have focused on the security issues raised by
privileged users
. As the people who can access the administrative back ends of critical systems, privileged users represent a potential threat vector. After all, they can get into confidential data, account settings, and system configurations. Equally or even more important to security than privileged users, however, is the concept of the privileged account. A privileged account is the actual mechanism by which a privileged user gains access to administrative controls. Having a
privileged account security
solution in place is thus an essential practice for the maintenance of a robust security posture.
When it comes to the IT security of your organization, you don’t want to leave anything to chance. These days, the vast majority of businesses worldwide are subject to cyber attack (upwards of 89%, in fact). You can’t risk making it any easier for your critical data to be accessed and stolen.
