Granting users standing access to privileged resources violates the principle of least privilege and introduces significant risk. With undifferentiated access, users can (and do) take unauthorized actions because they’re given TOTAL control of a resource. They could give a password to another person, who could then access a resource without appearing in an audit trail. They could access critical resources…
One of the most significant challenges today within endpoint security via application control is the sometimes tedious task of application categorization to create whitelists, blacklists, and greylists. What is application control? Application control allows you to proactively manage and monitor all the applications running on your endpoints with policy-driven controls.

Passwords. How on earth did we get here? They've been around for so many years and yet there’s still so much to be said about them.

Early in 2019, we got a glimpse of what can happen if you don’t when more than 100 million credit applications at Capital One were stolen by an individual in a security breach that involved a web service and…
Every team across your organization is looking for ways to free up more time. In the past year, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has exploded as a new way to remove tedious, repetitive tasks from the shoulders of humans and give them to—you guessed it—robots. RPA essentially creates a non-person account—a “bot”—that mimics the activities of…

A quick recap on Service Accounts 101 What exactly are service accounts and why are they needed? Most organizations have two types…
