Accelerated digital transformation has led to an explosion of digital identities, which means any user can have some level of privileged access at some time. Cyber attackers are targeting this rapidly expanding attack surface. This means identity security, has never been more important or challenging.
While Privileged Access Management (PAM) must still fulfill its core function of protecting privileged accounts, the next generation of PAM solutions can do so much more for your organization. As organizations embrace cloud, hybrid-IT, DevOps, remote working, digital workplaces, RPA and other transformational technologies the role of PAM has changed to secure these trends at zero point. Privileged accounts are no longer the domain of administrators or super users but for users right across the organization – including non-human entities such as applications and machines.
The general data protection regulation (GDPR) as issued by the European Union will be a major challenge for literally any organisation doing business in Europe. All systems dealing with data subject to data protection legislation (i.e. PII = personally identifiable information) will need to be compliant to the requirements of this regulation. And, quite logically, IT systems will in turn be key enablers for many organisations to achieve compliance to this new set of requirements.
Unter dem Begriff Operational Technology werden die Technologien zusammengefasst, die die Transformation von Waren und Dienstleistungen betreffen, etwa in produzierenden Unternehmen oder bei Energieversorgern (ICS: Industrial Control Systems & SCADA: Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition).
Mit der Entwicklung zur Industrie 4.0 wird die Grenze zwischen klassischer IT (Informationstechnologie) und Operational Technology zunehmend durchlässiger. Während dies einerseits die Effizenz und die Agilität bei der Administration erhöht, führt diese IT/OT-Konvergenz zu einer rapide anwachsenden Gefährdung kritischer Systeme. Waren diese bislang physikalisch und/oder logisch isoliert und konnten durch Zugangskontrolle vermeintlich angemessen geschützt werden, sind diese vom Unternehmensnetzwerk oder aus dem Internet erreich- und kontrollierbar. Gleichzeitig benötigt praktisch jeder Nutzer in OT-Umgebungen heute privilegierte Zugangsrechte, da diese Nutzer ja steuernd und damit administrativ in sicherheitsrelevante Prozesse eingreifen müssen.
