Opal Security’s Post

Sophos is taking a major step forward in cybersecurity by partnering with Opal Security to implement phishing-resistant MFA and just-in-time access. This move significantly enhances security and reduces the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive resources. 🛡️ #cybersecurity #unauthorizedaccess #leastprivilege Article Link: https://lnkd.in/gMYyAVvP

Microsoft has just made a significant leap forward in cloud-native identity and access management (IAM) with the introduction of the AD FS Migration Tool. This innovative tool simplifies the transition to cloud authentication, paving the way for a robust Zero Trust security framework. Key Benefits: - Streamlined migration from AD FS to cloud authentication. - Enhanced security posture with Zero Trust principles. - Simplified user experience with reduced sign-in friction. The AD FS Migration Tool is a game-changer for organizations looking to modernize their IAM systems. It's time to embrace the future of security and efficiency! #CloudSecurity #ZeroTrust #MicrosoftEntra #IAM #ADFS

Aye! Check out this post by Techielass introducing HashiCorp Vault, which provides a secure way to manage and store secrets in a distributed manner. The post explains how Vault works, from authentication and authorization to encryption and decryption. It's a great tool for securing sensitive data, and can integrate with other cloud services like Azure and OpenAI. #HashiCorpVault #cybersecurity #cloudsecurity 🔒💻🔑 Author: Techielass.

In light of the recent Okta support unit breach, critical for IT/Security Teams working with Okta to get up to speed asap on what occurred as a result of compromised credentials and to understand/implement the recommendations made. Few of Cloudflare's recommendations: Investigate & respond to: - All unexpected password and MFA changes for your Okta instances - Suspicious support-initiated events - Ensure all password resets are valid and force a password reset for any under suspicion - Any suspicious MFA-related events, ensuring only valid MFA keys are present in the user's account configuration Monitor for: - New Okta users created - Reactivation of Okta users - All sessions have proper authentication associated with it - All Okta account and permission changes - MFA policy overrides, MFA changes, and MFA removal - Delegation of sensitive applications - Supply chain providers accessing your tenants Cloudflare's full write-up and recommendations: https://lnkd.in/gz3cNYPH BeyondTrust's full write-up and recommendations: https://lnkd.in/gaxkgFwk Perhaps more updates/recommendations to come on this Compromised credentials continues to grow as an initial access vector - 1/3rd of cloud intrusions observed last year by IBM X-Force and are the top initial access vector observed by our p0 Labs Team when they investigate cloud breaches

In this new tech landscape, identity has become a crucial component of security. Identity and access management (IAM) solutions are essential for controlling who has access to what resources, regardless of where those resources are located, that is, in the cloud, on-premises, or in hybrid environments.   At its core, IAM is a set of processes and technologies that enables the right individuals or systems to access the right resources at the right time, while preventing unauthorized access. This is achieved by meticulously managing identities, controlling access, enforcing security policies, and auditing user activities.   With IAM, organizations can enforce policies based on user roles, permissions, and other attributes to ensure that only authorized users can access sensitive data and applications.

#Oracle's Cloud Infrastructure is built from the ground up with #security as a first principle, so this accreditation by the #USDoD to allow #OCI to host and process TS/SCI workloads is just a matter of time. #cybersecurity is top of mind for any enterprise, government or private, when considering a cloud deployment, and this announcement reaffirms our commitment to our customers worldwide that data security and privacy is first and foremost in everything that we do.
