blog2.png

Executive Summary:

Today's dynamic threat landscape demands continuous vigilance over user identities and access privileges. Traditional, static governance approaches leave gaps and vulnerabilities, exposing your organization to security risks and compliance failures. Cymmetri's Continuous Identity Governance (CIG) solution offers a proactive and automated approach to identity management, ensuring least privilege access, reducing attack surfaces, and streamlining compliance efforts.

Challenges:

  • Stale Access Privileges: Unreviewed and excessive access rights create vulnerabilities even with initial controls.
  • Limited Visibility: Lack of real-time insights into user activities and access makes it difficult to detect anomalies and identify threats.
  • Manual Reviews: Time-consuming manual reviews of access rights are ineffective and prone to errors.
  • Compliance Burdens: Meeting ongoing compliance requirements necessitates extensive manual effort and audit trails.
  • Reactive Incident Response: Traditional approaches rely on detecting and responding to breaches after they occur, leaving organizations vulnerable.

Solution:

Cymmetri CIG addresses these challenges with a comprehensive set of features:

  • Continuous Risk Assessment: Continuously evaluates user risk based on access entitlements, activity patterns, and threat intelligence.
  • Dynamic Access Reviews: Automatically reviews access rights based on predefined rules and user behavior, automatically adjusts privileges.
  • User Behavior Analytics (UBA): Detects suspicious user activity and identifies potential insider threats in real-time.
  • Automated Remediation: Automatically enforces least privilege access and remediates risky configurations without manual intervention.
  • Real-Time Reporting and Auditing: Provides granular insights into user activity, access changes, and potential risks for continuous compliance monitoring.
  • Integration with Security Tools: Integrates seamlessly with existing security solutions for holistic threat detection and response.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced Security Posture: Continuously reduces attack surfaces by ensuring least privilege access and mitigating insider threats.
  • Improved Compliance: Streamlines compliance with data privacy regulations through automated reviews, reporting, and auditing.
