Identity and Access Management

-

 




Ok friends

Basically, Identity and Access Management is a framework of rules, policies, and tools that ensures that the right people have the right access to resources inside an organization.

The primary goal of identity and access management is to control the management of digital identities and access to systems and data while maintaining security and compliance.

Identity and access management can have different tools and components. So, in this video, we will look into five of them.

These are: identification, authentication, authorization, single sign-on (SSO), and lifecycle management.

Let’s explore each one of those components and Imagine you have a clubhouse with different rooms, and you want to make sure only the right people can enter those rooms.

So, Identification: This is like having a secret handshake or a special badge that shows who you are.

Every person or computer in your clubhouse needs a way to say, “Hey, it’s me!”

Then there is authentication: after you show your special badge or do the secret handshake, there’s a check to make sure you really are who you say you are.

Then comes authorization. Once you’ve proven you’re who you say you are, Identity and Access Management controls decide what you’re allowed to do in the clubhouse. Some people might have permission to go into the game room, while others can go into the library.

Then there is Single Sign-On (SSO): basically, what this means is having a magic key that opens all the doors without needing a separate key for each.

Finally, lifecycle management: sometimes people move away or new ones join the clubhouse.

Identity and Access Management helps keep track of everyone, making sure old employees can’t still come in and that new ones get the right access.

Effective identity and access management implementation is crucial for organizations to mitigate security risks, prevent unauthorized access, and ensure compliance with industry regulations.

Thank you for watching the video all the way to the end.

I hope you enjoyed it and learned something new.

Stay safe, and I will see you in the next one.

  Bluebugging Attack Bluebugging is a silent attack that allows malicious hackers to silently sneak into Bluetooth-enabled devices without the users ever realizing it. Here is a full video to watch if you don't have time to read the full article:    It is the houdini of cyber attacks.   It sneaks into your devices without you even knowing!   It's the ultimate stealth mode for hackers.   Imagine someone gaining access without leaving a digital footprint!   Bluebugging can be the starting point of another relevant attack called bluesnarfing.   This is the sneaky cousin of bluebugging, grabbing your information without you suspecting a thing.   Bluesnarfing is a related technique where the attacker gains unauthorized access to information on the target device, such as contact lists, calendar entries, or messages, without the user's knowledge.   But today, we focus on the fundamentals of Bluebugging attack.   Bluetooth, the technology t...

  What Is Eavesdropping In Cyber Security Hello friends,   Today is about eavesdropping. Here is a video to watch If you don't have time to read the article:   This is a technique used by hackers in order to intercept electronic communications.   It involves a third party secretly listening to or monitoring communication without the knowledge or consent of the parties involved.   Hackers can use different methods to implement this technique, like:   Packet sniffing, which is basically intercepting and analyzing data packets as they travel across a network. On the other hand, there is Wiretapping, which is physically tapping into communication lines to intercept conversations. And finally, man-in-the-middle attacks, in which the attacker intercepts and potentially alters the communication between two parties,.   Given the nature of this attack, different actions can be taken for prevention and protection.   Like encrypting end-to-end communication ...

Fileless Malware Attacks In Cyber Security

  Fileless Malware Attacks In Cyber Security Hello friends. Today we talk about fileless malware attacks. If you don't have time to watch the whole video, check this video on my YT channel:  These types of malicious attacks happen without the need for traditional executable files to be stored on a system's hard drive. Unlike other malware that relies on files to execute malicious actions, fileless malware operates by residing in the system's volatile memory, aka RAM. These attacks are based on stealth and evasion. It can evade traditional security measures, making detection and mitigation more challenging for antivirus programs. These types of attacks leverage scripts and system tools to carry out malicious activities directly in the computer's memory. This allows attackers to blend in with normal system activities. Detecting and mitigating fileless malware requires advanced cybersecurity measures. Let’s use analogies to explain these types of attacks. Imagine your comp...
