Reinventing Smart Cards for the Modern Agile, Connected Enterprise

Posted on Nov 04, 2016 by Alexei Balaganski

Thanks to the maturity and highly standardized nature of public key infrastructures (and a large number of legacy business applications tied into them), enterprise IT departments continue to rely on the proven technology, but they are feeling an increasing pressure from businesses to modernize the existing processes, support new device platforms, deliver better user experience and, last but not least, reduce the costs and administration efforts needed to manage and support the whole lifecycle of traditional hardware smart cards.

One radical approach to address these needs is to replace physical smart cards with a software-based technology. Software smart cards allow PKI to be implemented in a much more flexible way without costly hardware and logistics. However, finding the right balance between security and convenience is a tough challenge for a vendor.

Cyber Resilience Through SOC Automation

Cyber resilience is now essential for the survival of every business, but identifying and responding to cyber threats quickly is challenging. Staff at many Security Operations Centers (SOCs) are struggling due to the high volume of security alerts, coupled with a shortage of cybersecurity talent. To address these issues, many companies are turning to automation.

IAM Projects Done Right

Delivering effective IAM is not always easy, and around half of IAM projects run into difficulties and stall. While opting for IAM that is delivered as a service is a potential solution, not all offerings are equal. Finding a service with the right combination of well-integrated capabilities is crucial to success.

Policy Based Access Control for Cloud-Native Applications

As companies shift to cloud-native applications, the complexity of a microservices framework can be daunting. When applications are built in a cloud-native stack, authorization is also infinitely more complex. Crucially, Open Policy Agent (OPA) decouples policy from code, enabling the release, analysis, and review of policies without impacting availability or performance.

The Future of Privileged Access Management

PAM is an established and essential discipline within IAM. Traditional PAM is primarily focused on securing privileged access, for instance of administrators, to servers and systems. In today’s dynamic IT environments, the need for just-in-time access and for supporting agile workloads in IaaS environments is growing. PAM must support these emerging needs. There also is a growing need for integration with other areas of IAM such as Access Management solutions.
