Something you know (e.g. Password).
Something you have (e.g. Mobile device or token).
Something you are (Biometrics).
Verifying your identity using a different factor (like your phone or another device – something you have) prevents anyone but you from logging in, even if your password is compromised.
SSO integrates with MFA so well because once a user is authenticated via a process of multiple authentication, a business can more confidently assume that the user is who they say they are and therefore can now access all of their enterprise cloud applications securely by logging into a web portal once, saving time and increasing productivity.
Threat Intelligence is available from a number of Government bodies, such as Australian Cyber Emergency Response Team (AusCERT), U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) and the SANS Internet Storm Center.
Open source options have been developed such as the Open Threat Exchange and IBM’s X-Force platform provide publicly available feeds. These are often sponsored by a Vendor but made publicly available.
A number of end-user (industry) led Threat Intelligence sharing platforms have arisen in recent years. One such example is the Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center (FS-ISAC). These ISAC options can provide similar outcomes to commercial threat intelligence options with pricing at a cheaper or comparative price point. Such options fall into three generic categories:
This means that we verify every user, because we have to assume that we can’t separate the “good guys” from the “bad guys.” Traditional approaches that focused on establishing a strong perimeter to keep the bad guys out no longer work. Resources (data, applications, infrastructure, devices) are increasingly hybrid or outside of the business perimeter entirely.With Zero Trust, no actor can be trusted until they’re verified. It’s a holistic, strategic approach to security that ensures that everyone and every device granted access into a business is who and what they say they are.
According to a recent Forrester study, companies that adopted the Zero Trust approach were twice as confident in their ability to bring new business models and customer experiences to their market.
