Identity management is one of the more essential aspects of cybersecurity. Attackers will regularly target Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems to find ways to secure them, and security experts must implement new countermeasures to protect against these incursions. One of these is isolated identity management.
In this article, we’ll cover the practice of isolated identity management and how it works to protect identity information, mitigating potential threats against secure systems.
Companies can only monitor some of the pieces of software that their employees use. It’s inevitable, then, that those employees will start to kludge together their solutions through personal software or freeware from the Internet.
This is such a problem that Splunk recently rated shadow IT as one of the top 50 threats to cybersecurity today.
This is, of course, a massive concern for security and compliance teams. Here, we’ll discuss shadow IT and its risks to your organization.

The solution for the past few decades has been VPNs.
A VPN isn’t new technology but has become the backbone of a modern work and data economy that thrives on accessibility and security.
