We have to be compliant but we also have to be secure. The challenge is to kill 2 birds with one stone. What I mean is that your investments in compliance should also improve security and vice versa.
In the past I've identified privileged user management as biggest bang for your buck area in terms of compliance and security ROI. This time I'm going to discuss how IAM (identity and access management) can have the broadest impact on security and compliance. This is because:
- Everything starts with identity and authentication
- Access management is the primary way to protect the sensitive information addressed by various compliance regulations
- IAM persists as a problem area in terms of manual work and outdated accounts and entitlements – and auditors know this
In this webinar I will take you on a tour of PCI, HIPAA, SOX and ISO 27001 and briefly explain their scope and intent but then we will dive into the controls specific to IAM in each one. Then I will give you my take on abstracting those requirements into a common set of privileged access best practices.
I'll also give you a list of reports or other documentation you can expect to provide auditors when they come calling. If you can drop a lot of thorough documentation on an auditor before they even request it you'd be surprised how soon you can put them to sleep.
