Key Takeaways

Modern enterprise networks require effective access management due to the complexity introduced by multiple vendors and platforms, especially in remote working scenarios.

Dynamic access controls, such as Delinea's Access Control, enhance organizational agility and security by adapting to flexible job roles and providing comprehensive risk assessments across applications and devices.

Implementing robust access management systems allows firms to maintain clear visibility of user permissions, enabling proactive risk management and prevention of fraud and data breaches.

 

Many modern enterprise networks are a collective of different software from multiple vendors; the versatility of enterprise technology typically means it’s compatible with most other enterprise solutions. However, with the addition of different platforms and different vendors, managing and effectively controlling the access to every individual system, network or device, becomes quite complicated.

The increased rates of remote working have also highlighted the need for proper access management. When team members have the potential to be situated in different countries or locales, an effective and efficient access management system is a necessity. Leveraging dynamic access controls can help improve the agility of an organization’s operations, while traditional, static access control can’t effectively adapt to more flexible job roles.

Identity security specialists, Delinea, utilizes Fastpath-enhanced technology to provide an effective access management system in the form of Access Control. When an organization uses Access Control, it can assess risks spanning from enterprise level apps down to the most basic, securable IoT device.

Firms can take a further step towards securing their domains from access-related mishaps by combining Access Control with Fastpath’s Identity, providing users with preventative analysis that can help work towards creating more security in their processes.

One of the ways Access Control can help in securely managing access across an organization’s operations is through tight control of Separation of Duties across any related apps. Once a profile has been spotted that has access to an app it really shouldn’t have, it can be actioned immediately, thus strengthening a firm’s fraud and data breach prevention.

Effective access management systems will provide a clear view of access and permissions across an organization’s entire network. A tool like Access Control can give firm’s a clear and detailed look into user access for each, separate application. The User Access Reviews can be used to create insights that can be leveraged to help manage the overall risk from mismanaged access permissions.

Firms can stay competitive by taking advantage of the software and data on hand. By applying a dynamic access management system, like Access Control, an organization can give greater agility and flexibility to job roles while also proactively strengthening security measures.
