Just like you assume sunglasses really block UV rays and not just make you look cool in selfies, when rolling out a security product, one automatically assumes it will fulfill its purpose. However, as per a new report by Osterman Research done on the behest of Silverfort, this assumption sometimes turns out to be as useful as a chocolate teapot. The comprehensive deployment of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions is found to be seriously lacking.
Description of how security is tightened in a system can sound like a leveled chess game with extra steps. First, they ask for a username, then a password, then for your firstborn child – just kidding, but it often feels that way. Jokes aside, MFA and PAM solutions were designed to provide this kind of layered protection but it turns out that their deployment is barely comprehensive enough to truly prevent identity-based threats.
Imagine yourself forgetting to lock the back door of your house overnight! The situation is no different here. It’s about the security of your digital home. Failing to deploy MFA and PAM systems comprehensively is like leaving the back door of your cybersecurity house wide open. It could potentially allow threats to waltz in unimpeded, resulting in significant security risks.
This article could be summarized as a wake-up call to companies and individuals who rely on MFA and PAM solutions for security. The systems might be standing guard at the front door like a stern headmaster, but aren’t spread out enough to check every nook and cranny. Time to rethink the deployment strategy before we end up with a security breach bigger than the mess after a three-year-old’s birthday party!
