Reassessing Privileged Access Permissions before the Return to the Office

By Bhagwat Swaroop, President and General Manager, One Identity

The long wait is finally over; people everywhere are getting vaccinated and organisations are beginning to prepare for a mass return to the office. The new ‘normal’ has shifted and while many companies will welcome their employees back full-time, others will be introducing a new hybrid working-environment, in which employees have the option to continue logging onto their networks remotely. This, however, produces ample opportunity for cyber-criminals to exploit an expanded attack surface, which will potentially be riddled with new vulnerabilities. Consequently, companies will need to race to secure their perimeters, accounts and data sufficiently in order to avoid a breach. Their best tactic, in this case, is to revisit their privileged access policies.
