The Zero Trust concept comes with the promise to adequately secure our modern, hybrid IT world at any time and any place. Manufacturers, consultants and even analysts agree as rarely as they do that this changed architectural paradigm is an important component of modern and future-oriented security architectures. Alexei and Matthias address the question why in practice only a few powerful zero trust architectures deliver on this promise. They try to answer the question what organizations need to consider in order to get off to a good start.
Christopher Schütze and Matthias Reinwarth explain the importance of having an incident response plan.
Deep Fakes, AI as friend and foe, Business Resilience, Mis-, Dis- and Malinformation: The Cybersecurity Leadership Summit has taken place in Berlin and covered all of this and much more. Martin Kuppinger and Matthias look back on the event and identify their Top 5 Trends from CSLS2022 in Cybersecurity and beyond.
The IT environments have become complex, and this will not stop as more technologies such as Edge Computing start to take hold. Paul Fisher looks at the full scope of entitlements across today's multi-hybrid environments. He explains how this new market segment between the cloud, on-premises, privileged accounts, and DevOps has developed and what DREAM means in this context.
Alejandro and Matthias continue their conversation about passwordless authentication. This time, the topic is the use of biometrics (and possible security and privacy concerns related to their use) as an authentication factor.
In this episode, Matthias and Martin explore the evolving role of AIs in business processes. AIs are becoming significant actors, representing human identities in tools like chatbots and even functioning autonomously. Martin underscores the importance of traceability, access management, and the unique need for distinct AI identities - AIdentities.
When asked to describe IAM processes, managers tend to think first of traditional lifecycle management processes such as Joiner, Mover and Leaver (JML). While these are clearly essential for identity governance in interplay with authoritative sources, a comprehensive process framework for IAM and beyond encompasses many other areas. Martin Kuppinger and Matthias Reinwarth explore some of these additional areas between convenience and compliance.
A new year, and 2022, like 2021, again begins with a look back at a far-reaching security incident. Cybersecurity Analyst Alexei Balaganski and Matthias take the topic of Log4j as an opportunity to look at code quality and cyber supply chain risk management. They also mention Mike Small's excellent blog post, which can be read here.
Zero Trust is rapidly gaining popularity as a modern alternative to traditional perimeter-based security. While it is (rightfully) mainly considered a concept rather than a product, a new market segment has developed. Those solutions apply this concept to network-based access to existing applications and other systems by creating a logical identity- and context-based overlay over existing (and presumed hostile) networks. Alexei Balaganski has examined this new market for KuppingerCole Analysts research and talks to Matthias about how this can speed up ZT deployments.
EIC 2021 finally took place in Munich in a hybrid format between on-site and online. Of course, Matthias took the opportunity to sit down with his analyst colleagues in person for some EIC special analyst chat episodes. In the first of three specials, Christopher Schütze talks to him about the findings from his pre-conference workshop on defending against ransomware, and they also turn their attention to a promising new approach to creating globally secured identities.
Paul Fisher has researched the topic of Data Governance Platforms extensively, and he published a Market Compass on this topic at KuppingerCole Analysts just a few weeks ago. In the current episode of Analyst Chat, he explains this market segment to Matthias and provides insight into current developments.
Microservices are increasingly becoming the new normal for enterprise architectures, no matter where they are deployed. Alexei Balaganski and Matthias discuss why doing this properly is essential and which aspects need to be considered, way beyond just talking about transport encryption or API security.
