Secure your kingdom
Traditional spending on perimeter security is no longer sufficient and more attention needs to be paid to how breaches are caused and escalated. An often overlooked area is the inadequate management of privileged accounts – these are the proverbial "keys to the kingdom" trusted to the IT administrators, but typically have little controls or accountability on their use.
By leaving these keys unmanaged, organizations find themselves completely exposed to a breach either through accidental misuse or from a deliberate attack. Solutions that help IT administrators manage privileged accounts are readily available and many can be customized to fit each organization's unique needs. Some solutions even tout the ability to enable non-technical personnel to manage their own accounts and passwords more effectively without the need for IT support.
